| dc.description.abstract | This study explored differences between aggressive-rejected and aggressive-nonrejected children on measures of Athletic Ability (AA) and Physical Attractiveness (PA). A main goal of the study was to explore possible differences within this sample of aggressive children. Variables that were examined included child's gender, ethnicity, and rejected status. A total of 173 elementary school-aged children participated in the study. The results concerning AA supported previous findings that boys were rated as having higher AA than were girls. An interaction between rejected status, gender, and minority status also revealed that non-rejected minority status boys were rated as more athletic than rejected minority boys. Likewise, non-minority non-rejected boys were rated as more athletic than were rejected non-minority boys. However, for girls, non-rejected minority status children were rated as more athletic than rejected minority children, while the opposite was found for non-minority girls. Examining PA, no statistically significant results were found. The results of this study suggest avenues for future research, particularly regarding teacher ratings of AA and PA given some findings inconsistent with literature regarding non-aggressive populations. | en |
