Abstract: The present study explored the direction of the relationship between peer relationship and children’s reactive and proactive aggression. By using cluster sampling method, 1380 children from grade 1 to grade 5 of a primary school in Nankai District, Tianjin were studied. Two waves of data collection were conducted in April 2017 and January 2018 respectively, which had an eight-month interval. Peer relationship was measured by peer nomination. The head teacher reported children’s reactive and proactive aggression. The results show that: 1) social preference and children’s reactive aggression negatively predicted each other; 2) social preference negatively predicted children’s proactive aggression, but proactive aggression did not predict their social preference. The results have theoretical significance to reveal the direction of the relationship between peer relationship and aggressive behavior. The conclusions have practical value to the prevention and treatment of children’s aggressive behaviors.

Key words: reactive aggression, proactive aggression, peer relationship, development stage

摘要: 探究同伴关系与儿童反应性和主动性攻击之间关系的方向性。采用整群抽样法,以天津市南开区某小学一到五年级1380名儿童为研究对象。前后进行了两次数据采集,间隔为8个月。采用同伴提名测量儿童的同伴关系,并以社会偏好作为同伴关系的指标;班主任通过问卷报告儿童的反应性和主动性攻击。结果显示:(1)社会偏好与儿童的反应性攻击相互负向预测;(2)社会偏好负向预测儿童的主动性攻击,但主动性攻击并不预测其社会偏好。研究结果对揭示同伴关系和攻击行为关系的方向性有理论意义,对不同类型攻击行为的预防和治疗有实践价值。
