Provoked by a Peer: Children's Anger-Related Responses and Their Relations to Social Functioning.

Murphy, Bridget C.; Eisenberg, Nancy

Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, v42 n1 p103-24 Jan 1996

Examined angry conflict incidents in a sample of 108 children ages 7 to 11, focusing on relations of anger-related internal and behavioral reactions to children's social functioning. Found that individual differences in children's social functioning were related to boys' anger-related goals and children's anger-related strategies. (MDM)
