    Area of Science:

    • Child Psychology
    • Social Cognition
    • Aggression Research

    Background:

    • Aggression in elementary school children is a significant concern.
    • Social cognitive factors may influence aggressive decision-making.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the links between aggression and social cognitions in children.
    • To investigate children's perceptions of self-efficacy for aggression and their beliefs about its consequences.

    Main Methods:

    • Administered two questionnaires to aggressive and nonaggressive elementary school children (mean age 11.3 years).
    • Assessed perceptions of self-efficacy for aggression and response-outcome expectancies regarding aggression.

    Main Results:

    • Aggressive children reported higher self-efficacy for aggression and greater belief in its rewards.
    • Aggressive children anticipated aggression would reduce aversive treatment by others.
    • Significant sex differences emerged in anticipated consequences, with girls expecting more victim suffering and peer punishment.

    Conclusions:

    • Children's self-efficacy and outcome expectancies are crucial factors in understanding aggression.
    • Cognitive models of aggression must incorporate children's knowledge of their capabilities and action consequences.
