Abstract: The present research has probed into the relation between the developmental tendency of aggression and the peer relationship,using peer nomination,"class play" and friendship quality questionnaire.430 elementary school children from Grade 3 to Grade 5 participated in the study,and they completed the questionnaires twice during one year.According to aggressive scores,participants were divided into four groups:the continuing high group,the continuing low group,the increasing group and the decreasing group.The results indicated that:The different developmental tendency of aggression affected the social preference significantly,but there is no significant difference on the friendship quality.Specially speaking:(1) For the overt aggression,the decreasing group increased significantly on the social preference compared with the other three groups.Besides,the decreasing tendency of the continuing low group is lower significantly than that of the continuing high group,which is lower significantly than that of the increasing group.(2) For the relational aggression,the increasing group showed an increasing tendency significantly compared with the decreasing group and the continuing low group.

Key words: overt aggression, relational aggression, social preference, friendship quality
