Adolescent girls often perpetrate aggression by gossiping and spreading rumours about others, by attempting to ruin relationships and by manipulating and excluding others. Further, males and females engage in reactive and proactive relational aggression differently. In this study, we examined the individual, peer and parental contextual factors that best explained the use of reactive and proactive relational aggression in girls. Female participants (n = 614; ages 11-18 years) completed questionnaires on aggression, callous-unemotional (CU) traits, delinquency, peer delinquency, gender composition of their peer group, resistance to peer influence and perceived parental overcontrol. Multinomial logistic regression was used to examine the effects of individual, peer- and parent-related variables on the likelihood of being classified as a low aggressor, reactive aggressor or proactive/reactive aggressor. Girls in the combined reactive/proactive aggression group were younger, had greater CU traits, a lower proportion of male peers and greater perception of parental control than both the reactive and low aggressive groups. Both highly aggressive groups were more delinquent and had greater peer delinquency than the low aggressive group. This study suggests those girls who show relational aggression for the purpose of gaining status and revenge feel restrained by their parents and may gravitate toward relationships that support their behaviour.
青春期女孩常常通过闲聊和散布关于他人的谣言、试图破坏人际关系以及操纵和排挤他人来实施攻击行为。此外，男性和女性在反应性和主动性关系攻击行为上的表现有所不同。在本研究中，我们考察了能最好地解释女孩使用反应性和主动性关系攻击行为的个体、同伴及父母背景因素。女性参与者（n = 614；年龄11 - 18岁）完成了关于攻击行为、冷酷无情（CU）特质、犯罪行为、同伴犯罪行为、同伴群体的性别构成、对同伴影响的抵抗力以及感知到的父母过度控制的问卷调查。多项逻辑回归用于检验个体、同伴和父母相关变量对被归类为低攻击者、反应性攻击者或主动性/反应性攻击者可能性的影响。与反应性攻击组和低攻击组相比，综合反应性/主动性攻击组的女孩年龄更小，具有更强的CU特质，男性同伴比例更低，且对父母控制的感知更强。两个高攻击组都比低攻击组有更多的犯罪行为和更强的同伴犯罪行为。本研究表明，那些为了获得地位和报复而表现出关系攻击行为的女孩感到受到父母的约束，可能会倾向于支持她们行为的人际关系。
