TY - JOUR PY - 2022// TI - Conflict moderates the longitudinal association between aggression with classmates and popularity: leveraging disagreements into peer status JO - Personality and individual differences A1 - Yoho, Michael A1 - Faur, Sharon A1 - Laursen, Brett SP - e111538 EP - e111538 VL - 190 IS - N2 - The present study tests the hypothesis that conflict amplifies longitudinal associations from aggressiveness and disruptiveness to classroom popularity. Participants were 356 (181 girls, 172 boys) Florida primary school students (ages 8-12). The results revealed that higher initial levels of peer-reported aggression, and disruptiveness were associated with increases in peer-reported popularity, particularly for children who report frequent conflict with classmates. The findings highlight a hitherto unexplored avenue through which aggressive and disruptive children attain status in the peer group.
