Children?s competitive peer aggression during reward and punishment
Behavior-disordered children (N = 65) competed with a presumed unknown peer on consecutive administrations of an analogue aggression task of instrumental aggression (blocking the opponent’s game) and hostile aggression (sending the opponent a noise).

Results indicated clear differences on aggressive respon…
Victims and Aggressors at School

Employment during adolescence could provide significant experiences for growth into later work roles, but most societies are not equipped to provide adolescents with meaningful work experience. In Youth Unemployment and Society, historians, psychologists, economists and sociologists provide a cross-n…
The Manchu Exegesis of the Lúnyǔ
The officially sanctioned Manchu translation of the Analects, completed in 1654 and revised in 1756, is valuable for the insights it provides into Qing-dynasty traditions of Lunyi interpretation and the then-contemporary understanding of key Confucian ethical notions of ren, yi, 11, dao, and de. By examining the words employed in the Manchu translation of the Analects and exploring their etymology, which is sometimes Chinese and Mongolian as well…
Physical Attractiveness and Psychosocial Functioning among Early Adolescents
Male and female adolescents who differed in physical attractiveness (PA) were also expected to differ in peer and parent relations, classroom behaviors, and self-perceptions, with adolescents higher in PA expected to score more favorably than those lower in PA. To test these expectations, sixth graders from the Pennsylvania Early Adolescent Transitions Study were longitudinally assessed at the beginning, middle, and end of sixth grade. Across tim…
Early Adolescent Physical Attractiveness and Academic Competence
Using data from the Pennsylvania Early Adolescent Transitions Study (PEATS), a short-term longitudinal study of northwestern Pennsylvania adolescents undergoing the transition from elementary to junior high school, physical attractiveness (PA) and objective and subjective measures of academic competence were interrelated in order to test two alternative models: The direct effects model stresses intraorganism, noncontextually mediated links, while…
Peer Social Support and Adjustment of Early Adolescent Peer Groups
This study examined whether early adolescents in four sociometric groups (peer-rejected, -neglected, -popular, and -controversial) vary in their perceptions of peer social support and in their behavioral, psychosocial, and scholastic adjustment. Subjects were 101 sixth-graders who participated in the Pennsylvania Early Adolescent Transitions Study. Sociometric groups were formed using results from a peer nomination questionnaire. Self-ratings wer…
