요약There is significant interest in the early identification and prevention of aggressive behavior problems beginning in preschool (Bryant et al., 1999; Campbell et al., 2000). Developmental research demonstrates that young children who persist in high rates of aggression as they move through the early childhood years and enter elementary school often experience significant negative consequences in later years (Tremblay et al., 2004). Notably, this developmental research has focused primarily on children who exhibit a range of disruptive and aggressive behaviors, along with poor impulse control and emotion dysregulation. However, researchers have also identified a relatively small group of young children who show elevations in relational aggression without concurrent disruptive-aggressive behaviors and who demonstrate normative rates of prosocial behavior, emotion regulation, and attention control skills (Carpenter & Nangle, 2006; Hawley, 2003; Ingram, 2014; Ostrov et al., 2013; Shahaeian et al., 2017).Few studies have examined the developmental consequences of elevations in relational aggression during the early childhood years when it occurs without concurrent disruptiveaggressive behavior. Resource control theory and social dominance theory suggest that some children learn to use relational aggression strategically to control social resources and social status and experience positive psychosocial outcomes in the short term. The longer-term outcomes that these children experience are understudied. Theoretically, the potential benefits of strategic relational aggression may be limited to the preschool period, as later social pressures (e.g., undesirability of aggressive behaviors; punitive responses) socialize many children into desisting from aggression. However longitudinal studies that follow relationally aggressive children from preschool through early adolescence are needed to determine whether reliance on relational aggression decreases over time and whether it predicts to difficulties with selfregulation or social maladjustment in the later school years.Theorists have suggested that relational aggression may indicate greater risk when children show high rates in the later elementary years, when it is more negatively evaluated by peers and teachers (Hawley, 1999). For example, a recent meta-analysis found that age moderated the association between relational aggression and peer rejection, after controlling for disruptive aggression, with relational aggression more highly associated with rejection at the older ages than the younger ages (age range 5 to 15 years, mean age 10.4 years; Yue & Zhang, 2023).It is also possible that the social impact of relational aggression varies as a function of child gender, which in turn, may influence the developmental course of the behavior and its association with social and academic adjustment in the later school years. Researchers theorize that gender socialization informs children's preference for aggression subtypes (e.g., boys towards disruptive aggression and girls towards relational aggression). As gender-consistent forms of aggression become more developmentally salient to children, these forms of aggression may precipitate stronger negative responses and be more predictive of future adjustment difficulties than gender-inconsistent forms of aggression (Ostrov & Godleski, 2010).This study compared longitudinal variations in the associations between relational aggression and social-emotional adjustment by comparing the school outcomes of subgroups of children who exhibited high rates of relational aggression (without concurrent disruptive aggression), high rates of disruptive aggression (without concurrent relational aggression), high rates of both types of aggression, and low rates of both types of aggression. Preschool aggression subgroups were identified based upon the teacher ratings provided in preschool, the year before v children entered elementary school. Children were followed forward through elementary school and into high school. Preschool aggression subgroups were compared on aggression persistence versus desistance through the end of elementary school (grade 5) and on social-emotional adjustment in preadolescence (grade 5) and adolescence (grades 7 and 9). In the same sample, preadolescent aggression subgroups were identified based upon the teacher ratings provided in elementary school at grade 5. These preadolescent aggression subgroups were compared on social-emotional adjustment in preadolescence (concurrent, grade 5) and adolescence (predictive, grades 7 and 9). Outcomes of interest in grade 5, 7, and 9 included aggressive behaviors (antisocial activity, conduct problems, antisocial peer affiliation), self-regulation skills (emotion regulation, inattention-hyperactivity), social adjustment (social support, prosocial behavior, peer problems, peer exclusion, student-teacher relationships), and self-systems processes (emotion symptoms, academic competence).Results revealed that the stability and predicted social outcomes associated with preschool relational aggression depended upon whether or not it was accompanied by disruptive aggression. Preschool children who exhibited elevated relational aggression without concurrent disruptive aggression were likely to desist over time and showed preadolescent and adolescent social outcomes that were equivalent to preschool children who were low in aggression. In contrast, preschool children who exhibited a pattern of combined aggression (elevated relational and disruptive aggression) were much less likely to desist in aggression over time and showed elevated social-emotional maladaptation in preadolescence and adolescence. The developmental significance of relational aggression differed for children identified with elevations in preschool versus those who exhibited elevations in preadolescence, with the latter group showing social maladjustment in adolescence even when relational aggression was not accompanied by vi disruptive aggression. Gender differences emerged in the frequency with which children exhibited different patterns of relational and disruptive aggression but did not significantly moderate the associations between aggression patterns and social adjustment. Implications for the developmental study of aggression and for the design of preventive interventions are discussed.
