Young Children's Coping with Interpersonal Anger.

Fabes, Richard A.; Eisenberg, Nancy.

Child Development, v63 n1 p116-28 Feb 1992

Causes of preschoolers' anger, and preschoolers' reactions to anger, were studied. Measures of social competence and popularity were obtained. Sex, age, and context differences in coping strategies were found. Socially competent and popular children coped with anger in relatively direct and active ways that minimized conflict and damage to social relationships. (Author/GLR)
