Description
In order to identify possible risk and protective factors of aggression, we analyzed levels of relational and physical aggression, as well as experiences of peer victimization in middle-school girls. Results suggest the important role of race and peer victimization in the development of relational aggression into perpetration of physical aggression. As a result from the investigation of this novel relationship, this study will inform practitioners of the benefits of social-problem solving and potential policy changes.
