Examined the occurrence of selective peer affiliation, and its impact on the development of aggressive behavior in four classrooms serving 72 preschool-age, high-risk boys and girls. Children classified as aggressive and nonaggressive were both highly selective in their peer affiliations, spending the majority of their time with a few same-sex classmates. Children generally established strong, stable, mutual affiliations with peers similar to themselves in aggression, but aggressive children had more difficulty establishing such affiliations. The interaction of peer dyads containing at least one aggressive child were characterized by more frequent, lengthy, and intense conflicts regardless of the affiliative relationship characterizing the dyad. The amount of time children spent interacting with aggressive peers predicted changes in observed and teacher-rated aggressiveness 3 months later.
研究了在四个班级中72名学龄前高危男孩和女孩的选择性同伴关系的发生情况及其对攻击性行为发展的影响。被归类为攻击性和非攻击性的儿童在同伴关系上都具有高度选择性，他们大部分时间都与少数同性同学在一起。儿童通常会与在攻击性方面与自己相似的同伴建立牢固、稳定、相互的关系，但攻击性儿童在建立这种关系时更困难。无论二元组的同伴关系特征如何，至少有一名攻击性儿童的同伴二元组的互动特点是冲突更频繁、更持久、更激烈。儿童与攻击性同伴互动的时间量预示着3个月后观察到的和教师评定的攻击性的变化。
