Does Parent–Child Discussion of Peer Provocations Reduce Young Children's Hostile Attributional Bias?

Abstract: Two studies investigated whether parent-child discussion of peer provocations reduces young children's hostile attributional bias. Study 1 (N = 109, age 4-7)-an observational study-showed that parent-child discussion of nonhostile attributions (when reading a picture book) predicted reductions in children's hostile attributional bias from pre- to postdiscussion. Study 2 (N = 160, age 4-6)-an experimental study-showed that stimulating parents to discuss either nonhostile attributions or normative beliefs (vs. a… Show more

“…In the trait anger-aggressive behavior link, social information processing (SIP; Crick & Dodge, 1994;Dodge & Crick, 1990;Lemerise & Arsenio, 2000) assumes that the individual's interpretation and attribution of situational stimuli, and hostile cognition in particular, play a crucial role in the development of aggressive behavior. Some theoretical (Anderson & Bushman, 2002;Van Dijk et al, 2018;Wilkowski & Robinson, 2008) and empirical studies confirm the partial mediating effect that hostile cognition has in the trait anger-aggressive behavior link (Hou et al, 2017).…”

“…Trait anger, which is an important personality trait, is widely concerned with the prediction of aggressive behavior (Bettencourt, Talley, Benjamin, & Valentine, 2006). Studies show that although the anger-hostile cognition-aggressive behavior link is stable (Crick & Dodge, 1994; Van Dijk, Poorthuis, Thomaes, & de Castro, 2018; Wilkowski & Robinson, 2008), hostile cognition only has a partial mediating role (Hou, Jiang, Wang, & Li, 2017). There are still other personal or situational factors that influence the trait anger-aggressive behavior link.…”
