This cross-sectional study investigated the ability of age, sex, and clinic-referred or nonreferred status of children to account for variance in the performance of aggressive behavior. Two clinic-referred groups and one normative group of children, composed of 137 males and 86 females between the ages of 3 and 13, were observed during unstructured family interactions in the home setting. Measures of aggressive/aversive child behavior included a composite total aversive behavior (TAB) score, a physical aggression (PAB) score, a verbal aggression (VAB) score, a passive-dependent behavior (PDB) score, and a disobedience (DSB) score. The total regression model and referral status were significant for each of these dependent variables. Age was significant for each variable except VAB, and sex was significant only for PAB. Significant age X group interactions were obtained for TAB, PDB, and DSB. Rates of behavior clearly differentiated groups, but the relationship of age and sex of child to behavior rates was the same across groups. Decreases in all behaviors with increasing age, except for VAB, replicate findings from previous studies in preschool settings. However, the meager sex differences failed to replicate more robust findings generally reported in previous research.
这项横断面研究调查了儿童的年龄、性别以及是否由诊所转诊等因素对攻击性行为表现差异的解释能力。研究观察了两个由诊所转诊的儿童组和一个正常儿童组，共有137名男性和86名女性，年龄在3至13岁之间，观察场景为非结构化的家庭互动。儿童攻击/厌恶行为的测量指标包括综合总厌恶行为（TAB）得分、身体攻击（PAB）得分、言语攻击（VAB）得分、被动依赖行为（PDB）得分和不服从（DSB）得分。对于这些因变量中的每一个，总回归模型和转诊状态都具有显著性。除VAB外，年龄对每个变量都具有显著性，而性别仅对PAB具有显著性。在TAB、PDB和DSB方面获得了显著的年龄×组间交互作用。行为发生率在不同组之间有明显差异，但儿童的年龄和性别与行为发生率之间的关系在各组中是相同的。除VAB外，所有行为都随年龄增长而减少，这与先前在学前环境中的研究结果一致。然而，微弱的性别差异未能重现先前研究中普遍报道的更显著的结果。
