Summary

Children's peer relations play an important role in their psychological, academic, and social development. Although peers offer many positive benefits, such as friendships and opportunities to enact and receive prosocial behavior, on occasion, they are the source of harmful influences that result in immediate hurt feelings as well as short- and long-term negative consequences. One of the more salient aspects of peer relations is the occurrence of aggression. Immediate consequences of this aggression include fear, sadness, humiliation, and diminished self-concept for the victim; in contrast, the aggressors often experience immediate positive affect (happiness, feeling powerful) from the aggression itself or the rewards it brings. This does not imply that the hurtfulness of childhood aggression is one-sided, however. Moving beyond the immediate affect in aggressive encounters, we next review evidence that these acts of aggression have negative psychological, academic, and social consequences for both the aggressors and victims. Consistent with the theme of this book, we then turn our focus to the dyadic relationships between aggressors and victims. In this chapter we describe the conceptual, empirical, and theoretical support for this relationship perspective and then review research showing that certain aggressor–victim relationships are especially hurtful. Given that this relationship approach to studying aggression is relatively novel, we conclude with a discussion of its opportunities and challenges and a call for future research.
