Abstract

Child witnesses' use of violent or peaceful strategies to resolve conflicts with peers were compared with strategies used by nonwitnesses. Stories depicting 5 types of peer conflicts were presented to each child, and the strategies used by the child to reach peaceful resolutions were scored. Findings include differences between witnesses and nonwitnesses, differences between genders, differences according to types of conflicts, and individual differences.
