Although many important advances have been made in our understanding of childhood aggression in recent years, a significant limitation of prior studies has been the lack of attention to the possible moderating role of gender in the links between aggression and social-psychological adjustment. To address this issue, the author evaluated the adjustment status associated with engagement in gender normative versus gender nonnormative forms of aggression for both boys and girls. Indexes of social-psychological adjustment assessed included teacher and self-reports of internalizing and externalizing difficulties (N = 1.166 children 9-12 years old). Results showed that children who engaged in gender nonnormative forms of aggression (i.e., overtly aggressive girls and relationally aggressive boys) were significantly more maladjusted than children who engaged in gender normative forms of aggression and children who were nonaggressive.
尽管近年来我们对儿童攻击行为的理解取得了许多重要进展,但先前研究的一个重大局限在于,缺乏对性别在攻击行为与社会心理调适之间的联系中可能起到的调节作用的关注。为解决这一问题,作者评估了男孩和女孩参与符合性别规范与不符合性别规范的攻击行为形式时的调适状况。所评估的社会心理调适指标包括教师报告和自我报告的内化与外化困难情况(N = 1166名9至12岁儿童)。结果显示,参与不符合性别规范的攻击行为形式的儿童(即表现出公开攻击行为的女孩和关系攻击型男孩)比参与符合性别规范的攻击行为形式的儿童以及非攻击性儿童的适应不良状况要严重得多。
