Relationship Of

Aggression was operationally defined as physical attack, destructiveness, humiliation, threat, and disapproval. The frequency of each behavior displayed by 20 lower-class children and 20 middle-class children in one preschool was recorded by two observers. Analyses of variance indicated no significant effects of social class on any measure. Boys were more disapproving than girls. Results are discussed with reference to Mischel's concept of the situational specificity of behavior.
