Age-Related Changes in Children's Perceptions of Aggression and Withdrawal in Their Peers.

Younger, Alastair J.; And Others

Developmental Psychology, v21 n1 p70-75 Jan 1985

Examined age-related changes in the organization underlying children's ratings of peer social deviance. Peer ratings of aggression, withdrawal, and likeability using the Pupil Evaluation Inventory (PEI) were collected from first, fourth, and seventh graders. For all ages aggression and likeability items were found to comprise cohesive categories of behaviors while withdrawal items changed with age. (Author/DST)
