DESCRIPTION:Children aged four to seven\, display a range of behaviours to
 wards their peers at school. Three sub-categories of behaviour include agg
 ression\, pro-sociality and withdrawal. There are numerous correlates of t
 hese behaviours and huge importance in understanding why children behave i
 n these ways and whether patterns are formed over time.\n\nThis presentati
 on will consider research conducted as part of Rix's PhD\, in which both t
 he nature and frequency of these behaviours are explored\, in addition to 
 children's explanations for these. It will consider the methodology and re
 sults of this UK based\, three phase\, fifteen month longitudinal study co
 nducted from April 2012 to July 2013 with two groups of children across fi
 ve schools. \n\nChildren were asked to report on the frequency of their ow
 n behaviour\, on a three point scale of lots\, sometimes and never\, befor
 e being asked to provide an explanation for displaying and/or not displayi
 ng this behaviour towards their peers at school. Reports were also collect
 ed from teaching staff and peers.\n\nThis presentation will provide an ove
 rview of this PhD research as well as give consideration to some of the ke
 y findings.
