The Rough Play of Adolescent Boys of Differing Sociometric Status.
Pellegrini, A. D.
International Journal of Behavioral Development, v17 n3 p525-40 Sep 1994
Observed rough-and-tumble play in young adolescent boys on the playground. Found that sociometrically defined average and rejected boys spent a greater portion of their time in rough play compared to popular boys and did so with children who were less dominant than they, suggesting that some children exploit play bouts for their own dominance-exhibition ends.
