Abstract

Individual differences in children's conflict management in disputes with their friends, siblings and mothers were examined in a longitudinal study of 50 secondborn children followed from 33 to 72 months. Children's conflict management differed with their mothers, siblings, and friends, and these differences were related to the affect expressed in the relationships. Investigation of antecedents showed that children's conflict resolution with their friends at 6 years was related to the conflict strategies of their mothers and siblings 3 years earlier, and to the children's own ability to understand other minds and emotions, and their moral sensibility. Girls were more often submissive than boys. Aggr. Behav. 23:343–357, 1997. © 1997 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
