Relational aggression is linked to numerous adverse consequences. However, we know little about how temperament leads individuals to become perpetrators/victims of relational aggression, or how being a perpetrator/victim influences the development of temperament. We used longitudinal data from 674 Mexican-origin youth to examine relations between relational aggression and mother- and child-reported temperament from 5 grade (=10.8; =0.60) through 11 grade (=16.8; =0.50). Results show that: (a) high Negative Emotionality and low Effortful Control predicted increases in victimization; (b) low Effortful Control predicted increases in perpetration; (c) victims increased in Negative Emotionality and decreased in Effortful Control; and (d) perpetrators increased in Negative Emotionality and Surgency. Thus, temperament serves as both an antecedent to a consequence of relational aggression.
关系型攻击行为与众多不良后果相关。然而，我们对于气质如何导致个体成为关系型攻击行为的实施者/受害者，或者作为实施者/受害者如何影响气质的发展知之甚少。我们使用了来自674名墨西哥裔青少年的纵向数据，来检验从5年级（平均年龄 = 10.8岁；标准差 = 0.60）到11年级（平均年龄 = 16.8岁；标准差 = 0.50）期间关系型攻击行为与母亲和孩子报告的气质之间的关系。结果表明：（a）高消极情绪性和低努力控制预测了受害行为的增加；（b）低努力控制预测了攻击行为的增加；（c）受害者的消极情绪性增加，努力控制减少；（d）攻击者的消极情绪性和外向性增加。因此，气质既是关系型攻击行为的一个前因，也是其一个后果。
