For older children, relational aggression, not overt aggression, is linked to higher perceived popularity. This connection is bidirectional in older girls and shows popularity influences aggression in older boys.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Social Psychology

Background:

  • Aggression in children and adolescents is a significant concern.
  • Understanding the relationship between different forms of aggression and social standing is crucial for developmental research.
  • Previous research has yielded mixed findings on the link between aggression and popularity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the concurrent and temporal relations between overt and relational aggression and perceived popularity in children and early adolescents.
  • To differentiate the roles of overt and relational aggression in predicting perceived popularity.
  • To investigate gender and age differences in these associations.

Main Methods:

  • Two studies were conducted with large samples of children and early adolescents (N = 607 and N = 1,049).

  • Data on overt aggression, relational aggression, and perceived popularity were collected.
  • The second study employed a longitudinal design, assessing relations over a 6-month period.

    • Main Results:

    • Among older participants, relational aggression was positively associated with perceived popularity, even after controlling for overt aggression.
    • Overt aggression's association with perceived popularity became nonsignificant when relational aggression was accounted for.
    • For older girls, the link between relational aggression and popularity was bidirectional; for older boys, popularity predicted relational aggression.

    Conclusions:

    • Relational aggression plays a distinct role in the social dynamics of older children and adolescents, particularly concerning perceived popularity.
    • Findings suggest that interventions targeting aggression and popularity should consider the type of aggression and developmental stage.
    • The bidirectional nature of these relationships highlights the complexity of social hierarchies and aggression in youth.
