Abstract
Theoretical models for the development of relational aggression are reviewed, and the evidence in support of these models is briefly discussed. The central goal is to provide an overview of theoretical perspectives on the development and maintenance of relational aggression. Theories reviewed include the social information processing (SIP) model of children’s social adjustment (Crick & Dodge, 1994) as well as other important theories, such as an evolutionary explanation of relational aggression, attachment theory, and peer influences. The limitations of our theoretical understanding of relational aggression as well as the ways in which these models may inform future research in the field are discussed.
