“…Again, the same results were found for adolescents' relationship with mothers, fathers, and best friends. Although different correlates and consequences of constructive versus unconstructive conflict behavior have already been found in more traditional research (Dishion et al 1995;Jackson et al 1998;Jaffee and D'Zurilla 2003;Oldenburg and Kerns 1997;Rubenstein and Feldman 1993;Tucker et al 2003), our results extend these findings in that we found similar results at the daily level.…”

“…Certain conflict behaviors with friends have also been found to be related to negative outcomes. Negative engagement (physical and verbal aggressive behavior) during conflict with friends has been found to be related to lower relationship satisfaction in adolescent boys (Dishion et al 1995). However, the same study did not find positive engagement (positive nonverbal behavior such as touching, holding and physical interactions and positive verbal behavior such as selfdisclosure) during conflict with friends to be related to higher relationship satisfaction.…”

A daily diary method was used to examine the daily dynamics of adolescent conflict and perceived relationship satisfaction with mothers, fathers, and best friends among a sample of 72 Dutch adolescents (M = 15.59 years). Multilevel analyses revealed that perceived relationship satisfaction with mothers, fathers, and best friends was lower on days on which conflict occurred with mothers, fathers, and best friends than on days on which no conflict occurred. More specifically, perceived relationship satisfaction was highest in a particular relationship on days when no conflict occurred, second highest on days on which constructive conflict occurred, and lowest on days on which unconstructive conflict occurred. Whereas in adolescents' relationships with their parents, conflict and perceived relationship satisfaction were not found to be related to each other one day later, conflict with their best friends-and especially unconstructive conflict-was found to be related to higher perceived relationship satisfaction one day later.

“…For example, these children with oppositional defiant behaviors may be likely to make friends with children who have the same behavioral problems. Indeed, it has been suggested that deviant children and adolescents, relative to normal controls, are more likely to be rejected by mainstream peers and to befriend with deviant peers who are similar to themselves and with whom they share interests in deviant activities [41,42]. Thus, it is plausible that these children who show ODD symptoms might not have problems of being rejected by peers or making or maintaining friends; however, the quality of their friendships may not be positive and harmonious.…”

This study examined social problems at school and relationships with peers, siblings, mothers, and fathers among children with ADHD only (n = 41), ODD only (n = 14), ADHD + ODD (n = 47), and normal controls (n = 204) from a school-based sample of 2,463 first to ninth graders in Taiwan. ADHD and ODD symptoms were determined by teacher and mother reports on the Conners' Rating Scales and social adjustment problems were assessed by mother reports on the Social Adjustment Inventory for Children and Adolescents. Results indicated that relative to normal controls, children with ADHD + ODD displayed greater levels of social adjustment problems across domains (i.e., school, peers, siblings, and parents) while children with ADHD were significantly more impaired only in social adjustment at schools and children with ODD were more impaired only in social adjustment at home. Some similarities and differences in our findings, in relation to the Western literature, were discussed.

“…Dishion and others have conducted valuable work on providing insight in the mechanism that may explain why selective affiliation results in increases in aggressive behavior (Dishion et al 1995a(Dishion et al , 1996. The authors analyzed the topics and responses of 206 adolescent male friendship dyads during conversations.…”

Two processes in the relationships between children have been associated with adverse developmental outcomes in children, namely, peer rejection and affiliation with deviant peers. In numerous studies, both of these processes have been linked not only to negative outcomes, including aggression, delinquency, violence, but also to school failure or internalizing problems. However, we yet have to understand the exact role of peer dynamics in the development towards maladjustment. Many prevention programs aim at manipulating peer dynamics in their effort to prevent aggression and violence. Apart from studying the effectiveness of such programs, these programs can provide valuable insight through which peer dynamics are linked with aggression and violence. In this study, we review prevention programs that studied the role of peer dynamics in the development to aggression and violent behaviors. First, we shortly describe the processes of peer rejection and deviant friends' affiliation. We then review three types of intervention programs: programs in unstructured settings, universal classroom-based programs, and targeted intervention aimed at the direct manipulation of peer processes. From these studies, we demonstrate that intervention success (and also intervention failure) is, to an extent, accounted for by peer dynamics. Implications for further research are discussed. We conclude that although preventive interventions that aim at manipulating the social context of children are promising, we should be cautious with a large-scale implementation of such programs as our knowledge of peer dynamics is yet too limited to ascertain the absence of unexpected negative effects.
