Variable Effects of Children's Aggression, Social Withdrawal, and Prosocial Leadership as Functions of Teacher Beliefs and Behaviors.
Chang, Lei
Child Development, v74 n2 p535-48 Mar-Apr 2003
Examined link between Chinese teachers' beliefs about classroom aggression and withdrawal and their support of middle schoolers, and student behaviors, peer acceptance, and self-perceived social competence. Found that teachers' aversion to aggression and empathy toward withdrawal enhanced self-perceptions of both aggressive and withdrawn children and enforced peer rejection of aggression, but not of social withdrawal. Prosocial leadership influenced social behavior independent of teacher beliefs. (Author/KB)
