The role of identity on peer conflict and aggression

This study explores the relationship between identity development variables on the one hand, and aggression and peer conflict on the other; Results showed a direct relationship between internalizing symptoms and relational aggression, existential anxiety and reactive aggression, and an inverse relationship between identity exploration and proactive aggression. While preliminary, these findings suggest some potentially fruitful avenues for using the promotion of positive identity development to aid bullying prevention efforts.
