“…As this study was part of a larger survey, the data of the teacher and parent report of social rejection, the self report on the frequency of physical and relation aggression, and the measures of affiliation with deviant peers have been used in previous studies (Jung, Krahé, Bondü, Esser, & Wyschkon, in press; Jung, Krahé, & Busching, in press).…”

Abstract. This two-wave longitudinal study identified configurations of social rejection, affiliation with aggressive peers, and academic failure and examined their predictivity for reactive and proactive aggression in a sample of 1,479 children and adolescents aged between 9 and 19 years. Latent profile analysis yielded three configurations of risk factors, made up of a non-risk group, a risk group scoring high on measures of social rejection (SR), and a risk group scoring high on measures of affiliation with aggressive peers and academic failure (APAF). Latent path analysis revealed that, as predicted, only membership in the SR group at T1 predicted reactive aggression at T2 17 months later. By contrast, only membership in the APAF group at T1 predicted proactive aggression at T2.

“…This model has recently been tested in a three-wave longitudinal study (Jung, Krahé, Bondü, et al, 2018), using latent path analyses. Antisocial behavior predicted both social rejection and academic failure in male and female children and adolescents.…”

“…These experiences of non‐control are highly aversive, making aggressive impulses more likely via the frustration‐aggression link. Jung, Krahé, Bondü, Esser, and Wyschkon () analyzed the development of external control beliefs, defined as subjective beliefs that social outcomes are not under volitional control, as a mechanism through which aggression may spread within aggressive peer groups. Their study used latent path analysis in a sample of 1,466 male and female children and adolescents who participated in two measurement points 18 months apart.…”

Exposure to peer aggression is a major risk factor for the development of aggressive behavior in childhood and adolescence. Furthermore, peer aggression has the propensity to spread and affect individuals who were not exposed to the original source of aggression. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that peer aggression is in many regards similar to a contagious disease. By presenting a program of research based on longitudinal and multilevel studies, we provide evidence for the contagious quality of aggressive behavior, show that individuals vary in their susceptibility to peer aggression, and describe group‐level characteristics that moderate the influence of peer aggression. We discuss mechanisms that may explain how individuals catch aggressive behavior from their peers and how the effects on the development of individuals' aggressive behavior unfold over time. Further, we examine processes that may increase the risk of being exposed to peers' aggressive behavior. We conclude with discussing implications for future studies on the contagious nature of peer aggression.

“…Since deviant behavior is caused by numerous factors, it is important to control for other potential risk factors to reduce the possibility that significant effects emerge as a result of third-variable correlations. One such variable is academic achievement, as studies have shown that low-achieving adolescents are at higher risk for deviant behavior (Jung, Krahé, Bondü, Esser, & Wyschkon, 2016). Another potential variable is age.…”

This article investigated how the development of deviant behavior in adolescence is influenced by the variability of deviant behavior in the peer group. Based on the social information-processing (SIP) model, we predicted that peer groups with a low variability of deviant behavior (providing normative information that is easy to process) should have a main effect on the development of adolescents’ deviant behavior over time, whereas peer groups in which deviant behavior is more variable (i.e., more difficult to process) should primarily impact the deviant behavior of initially nondeviant classroom members. These hypotheses were largely supported in a multilevel analysis using self-reports of deviant behavior in a sample of 16,891 adolescents in 1,308 classes assessed at two data waves about 1-year apart. The results demonstrate the advantages of studying cross-level interactions to clarify the impact of the peer environment on the development of deviant behavior in adolescence.
