The Role of Parenting and Cortisol in Children’s Early Peer Relationships
Prior theoretical and empirical work demonstrates associations between peer victimization and later aggressive behavior. To better understand this link in early childhood, the present study examined children's basal cortisol levels and parental warmth as moderators of the association between peer victimization in the fall of preschool (T1) and changes in aggression from T1 to T2 (preschool spring). Participants were 262 3- to 5-year-old children …
Executive Functioning Across the Transition to Kindergarten: Links With Social and Academic Outcomes in Early Childhood
The current project investigates the longitudinal relations of executive functioning (EF) at the beginning of pre‐kindergarten, and outcomes of (mal)adjustment both at the end of pre‐kindergarten and beginning of the kindergarten. To examine this aim, a secondary analysis was conducted using a large, primarily low‐income and under‐represented early childhood sample ( N = 476, M = 52.8 months old, 47.3% female, 60.8% Black and Hispanic/Latinx). Da…
Prospective Relations of Temperament and Peer Victimization with Changes in Social Competence in Early Childhood: The Moderating Role of Executive Functioning
The Role of Peer Victimization in Predicting Aggression and Internalizing Problems in Early Childhood: The Moderating Effect of Emotion Regulation and Gender
Research Findings: This study (N = 300; M age = 44.72 months, SD = 4.39) aimed to elucidate the distinct pathways leading to maladjustment in early childhood by examining whether or not peer victimization differentially predicts aggression and internalizing problems. Hypotheses were guided by the relational vulnerability model, which suggests peer victimization and relational aggression have deleterious effects on socioemotional adjustment. This …
Relational Victimization, Characterological Self-Blame, and Adjustment in Young Children
Trajectories of physical and relational aggression across early childhood: Relations with peer risk factors
The goal of the current study was to examine trajectories of relational and physical aggression in early childhood and evaluate peer predictors of these trajectories (i.e., peer rejection, relational victimization, and physical victimization). The study spanned three‐time points (T1 in the spring, T2 in the fall, and T3 in the spring) in early childhood ( N = 300; 44.0% girls; M age = 44.70 months, SD = 4.38; 3.0% African American/Black, 7.6% Asi…
Inhibitory Control in Early Childhood Aggression Subtypes: Mediation by Irritability
Pathways from Early Family Violence to Adolescent Reactive Aggression and Violence Victimization
Relations between forms and functions of aggression and moral judgments of aggressive transgressions
The present study sought to examine the influence of aggressive behavior, psychopathy, and gender on moral judgments of aggressive transgressions. A two‐dimensional conceptualization of aggression was used, such that proactive relational aggression, reactive relational aggression, proactive physical aggression, and reactive physical aggression were treated as distinct subtypes of aggression and also as distinct subtypes of moral judgments of aggr…

Testing a Higher Order Model of Internalizing and Externalizing Behavior: The Role of Aggression Subtypes
Prospective associations between peer victimization and social‐psychological adjustment problems in early childhood
The present short-term longitudinal study examined prospective associations between two forms of peer victimization (i.e., physical, relational) and both externalizing and internalizing problems in early childhood. The study assessed 97 children (42 girls; M age = 45.22 months, SD = 6.99) over the course of one school year with assessments occurring at the end of each semester (approximately 6 months apart). Multiple methods were used to collect …

Social Dominance in Romantic Relationships: A Prospective Longitudinal Study of Non‐verbal Processes
The study of social dominance has a long tradition within the peer relationships literature, but rarely has the topic been investigated observationally and longitudinally within other salient close relationships. The present study investigated the role of experiences in social relationships and adjustment indices in childhood in predicting later observed non‐verbal social dominance behaviors in the context of romantic relationships in emerging ad…
A Longitudinal Study of Relational Aggression, Physical Aggression, and Children's Social–Psychological Adjustment
Although great strides have recently been made in our understanding of relational aggression and its consequences, one significant limitation has been the lack of prospective studies. The present research addressed this issue by identifying and assessing groups of relationally aggressive, physically aggressive, relationally plus physically aggressive (co-morbid), and nonaggressive children during their third grade year in elementary school and th…

Media Exposure, Aggression and Prosocial Behavior During Early Childhood: A Longitudinal Study
Preschool children (N = 78) enrolled in multi‐informant, multi‐method longitudinal study were participants in a study designed to investigate the role of media exposure (i.e., violent and educational) on concurrent and future aggressive and prosocial behavior. Specifically, the amount of media exposure and the nature of the content was used to predict concurrent and future physical, verbal and relational aggression as well as prosocial behavior f…

Gender Differences in Preschool Aggression During Free Play and Structured Interactions: An Observational Study
We observed 48 children from rural preschools (M=64 months old) in two different social contexts to test hypotheses about the type (relational, physical, verbal, nonverbal), contextual independence, and sociometry of girls’ and boys’ aggressive tactics. We predicted and generally found that (1) girls displayed more relational aggression than boys while boys displayed more physical and verbal aggression than girls, and that children received more …
