Abstract
The initial goal of the study was to look at the differences in aggressive behavior by gender. Prior research had looked at aggression between student but not aggregated these findings by gender. Males are traditionally thought to use physical aggression and females use relational aggression, such as spreading rumors and excluding others. The frequency of female aggression may have been previously underestimated because of the reliance of most instruments on physical aggression. Relational aggression is subtler and less likely to be identified and addressed by adults such as parents and teachers.A sample of 491 students in third through sixth grade was surveyed by the authors of the instrument. The CSBS had 15 items measuring physical aggression, relational aggression, prosocial behavior, and isolation. Participants responded on Likert scale with answers ranging from, 1, “never” to 5, “all the time.” Students were given a list of their classmates and asked t nominate three other students as examples of peers who engaged in each of the behaviors. The authors were present to answer any questions about the instrument. (CVRL Abstract).
