This study examined fourth- and fifth-grade girls' cognitions of their relationally aggressive peers as a function of their own relationally aggressive and sociometric status. Findings indicated that relationally aggressive girls tended to display a relatively cautious and wary social cognitive style in relationally provocative social situations. Rejected girls exhibited markedly different social processing styles depending upon whether they were also relationally aggressive themselves. (Author/KB)
