The behavioral patterns associated with peer ratings of aggression and withdrawal were explored. First, a discriminant function analysis (N = 74) using seven observational variables was found to significantly identify groups of Aggressive, Withdrawn, and Contrast fourth- and fifth-grade girls and boys. Aggressive/Withdrawn children were not distinguishable from Contrasts. In subsequent analyses comparing the behaviors of children in the four groups at two schools (total N = 117), children in the Aggressive and Withdrawn groups each showed distinctive patterns of social behavior, which were consistent across the two schools. The behavior of the Aggressive/Withdrawn children was not significantly different from that of Contrast children. However, results from one school suggested that Aggressive/Withdrawn children may receive a disproportionate amount of aggression from peers. Finally, the behavior patterns displayed by the deviant groups were similar for girls and boys, allowing for sex differences in base rates of playground behavior. These results confirm the observability of peer-identified patterns of aggression and withdrawal, and provide a detailed description of the behavior of such children in a free-play situation.
研究了与同伴对攻击和退缩行为评分相关的行为模式。首先，通过判别函数分析（N = 74），使用七个观察变量，显著地识别出攻击性、退缩性以及作为对照的四年级和五年级女孩和男孩群体。攻击性/退缩性儿童与对照组儿童没有区别。在随后对两所学校的四组儿童行为进行比较的分析中（总N = 117），攻击性组和退缩性组的儿童各自表现出独特的社会行为模式，且在两所学校中一致。攻击性/退缩性儿童的行为与对照组儿童没有显著差异。然而，一所学校的结果表明，攻击性/退缩性儿童可能会从同伴那里受到不成比例的攻击。最后，异常组所表现出的行为模式在女孩和男孩中相似，这考虑到了操场行为基本发生率的性别差异。这些结果证实了同伴识别出的攻击和退缩行为模式的可观察性，并提供了此类儿童在自由玩耍情境中行为的详细描述。
