Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the behavior profiles and correlates of subgroups of aggression and victimization in a rural children sample.Methods: 744 primary school children (10.96?1.32 years old) were investigated through peer nomination. Results: Classifications resulted in three subtypes, the aggressive-victims (54 boys, 16 girls), non-aggressive victims (20 boys, 18 girls), and 41 non-victimized aggressors (33 boys, 8 girls). MANOVA revealed significant differences among these subtypes and between genders on an array of social behaviors. Post hoc comparisons suggested that aggressive-victims had the lowest peer acceptance, highest peer rejection, and higher social withdrawal. Compared with normal groups, non-aggressive victims also showed more behavioral problems. Conclusion:The aggressive-victims have lowest peer relations and highest aggression and victimization, the non-aggressive victims have highest withdrawal and shyness.
