Abstract
An examination of role functions of peers and adult socialization agents (mother, father, and teacher) on two dimensions of aggression-related experiences (modeling and norms) was made. Ss were 108 male elementary school children attending the 4th and 6th grades. A standardized interview focusing on nonparticipatory observations of aggressive behavior and reinforcement-expectations for aggressive behavior served to provide response measures of differences among sources in providing experiences correlated with the acquisition and performance of aggressive behavior. Among sources surveyed, peer-related experiences were significantly more frequently representative of exposure to modeling and reinforcement contingencies associated with aggression, while reports of teacher behavior were least representative of these dimensions.
