Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺南大學 === 幼兒教育學系碩士班 === 105 === This study examined how the preschoolers’ social status groups related to subtypes of
aggression assessed by teachers and peers. One hundred and twenty-nine preschoolers’ overt
and relational subtypes of aggression were measured by peer nominations (Preschool Peer
Nomination Measure – Peer Form, PSBS-P) and teacher ratings (Preschool Social Behavior
Scale – Teacher Form, PSBS-T). Peer nominations of acceptance and rejection (like and
dislike nominations) were also collected in order to form the social status groups (popular,
average, rejected, neglected, and controversial). Results showed that
(a)there were no significant differences in overt and relational aggression measured by
peer nominations and teacher ratings between younger and older preschoolers,
(b)boys’ overt aggression measured by teacher ratings was higher than girls’, but there
were no other significant differences in aggression between boys and girls,
(c)there were no significant differences in teacher reports’ overt and relational aggression
among various social status groups, and
(d)there were significant differences in peer reports’ overt and relational aggression
among various social status groups.
