Article Synopsis
- A study involving 149 children aged 8-11 from the UK examined the relationship between trust beliefs in peers and peer interactions over a school year.
- Girls with very low or very high trust beliefs faced more rejection, greater indirect aggression, and higher levels of distress compared to those with moderate trust beliefs.
- Boys with extreme trust beliefs exhibited more direct aggression and passive behavior, highlighting the risks of psychosocial maladjustment for children with either low or high trust in peers.
