The present short-term longitudinal study examined the stability and role of peer influence on both physical and relational aggression in early childhood using a dyadic data analytic framework. Following the peer-individual interaction model, forms of aggressive behavior (i.e., physical and relational) were observed in 43 dyads of close friendships in early childhood (M = 47.37 months, SD = 7.56) to better understand how friendships may maintain aggressive behavior over time. Friendship quality (FQ) was included as a moderator to explain how friendships may maintain aggression. The results provide evidence supporting the affiliation hypothesis for physical aggression with opposite findings for relational aggression. Negative FQ moderated associations with both relational and physical aggression over time whereas positive FQ moderated the dyadic influence with physical aggression over time. Limitations and future directions are discussed.
本短期纵向研究使用对偶数据分析框架，考察了同伴影响对幼儿期身体和关系攻击的稳定性和作用。根据同伴个体相互作用模型，在 43 对亲密友谊的幼儿期（M=47.37 个月，SD=7.56）中观察到攻击行为（即身体和关系）的形式，以更好地了解友谊如何随着时间的推移维持攻击行为。友谊质量（FQ）被纳入调节因素，以解释友谊如何维持攻击行为。研究结果为身体攻击的联系假设提供了证据，而关系攻击则得出了相反的结果。负面的 FQ 随着时间的推移与关系和身体攻击的关联呈负调节，而积极的 FQ 随着时间的推移与身体攻击的对偶影响呈正调节。讨论了局限性和未来的方向。
