Dominance in Early Adolescent Boys: Affiliative and Aggressive Dimensions and Possible Functions
Abstract
In this multimethod, multiagent longitudinal study, boys’ dominance was studied as they made the transition from primary to middle school. A cohort of boys was followed as they moved from fifth grade (mean age 10.1 years of age) through sixth grade (mean age 12.1 years of age). Consistent with theory, dominance decreased as boys made the transition to a new group; aggression initially increased from primary school to the start of sixth grade and then decreased again at the end of the year. Additionally, and consistent with theory, dominance had a significant aggressive, but not affiliative, dimension at the start of sixth grade. By the end of the year, dominance did not have a significant aggressive dimension but did have a significant affiliative dimension. Last, both affiliative and aggressive dimensions of dominance predicted heterosexual relationships (i.e., dating) at the end of the sixth grade. Results are discussed in terms of distal, evolutionary effects and proximal, peer group effects on peer relations in adolescence.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
