Abstract

A method is proposed for modeling developmental data, in general, and, in particular, the developmental relationship between the age of a child and the presence or absence of aggressive (pushing) behavior using a logistic quantal response model. The proposed model was applied to cross-sectional data on 180 first-, second-, and third-grade children from a study by Hapkiewicz (1973) . The results tended to support the hypothesized sex differences and the logistic quantal response model was found to fit the data adequately. An interpretation of the parameter estimates provide interesting conclusions concerning the developmental patterns of aggression for both sexes.
