“…Numerous observational studies have shown that dominance hierarchies form early in life and gradually become stable with age ( La Freniere and Charlesworth, 1983 ; Pellegrini et al., 2007 ; Roseth et al., 2007 ; Strayer and Trudel, 1984 ). In the past decades, the stably existing social hierarchies in preschool children have promoted researchers to explore the influences of multiple factors, such as age, sex, intelligence, social skills, parenting style, moral education, and cultural background ( Charafeddine et al., 2016 ; Hawley, 1999 , 2002 ; Hawley and John Geldhof, 2012 ; Keating and Bai, 1986 ; McDonald et al., 2013 ; Neppl and Murray, 1997 ; Pellegrini et al., 2007 ; Reifen Tagar et al., 2017 ; Roseth et al., 2011 ). Children with more aggressive behaviors are usually recognized as higher-ranking status in their group ( Hawley, 2007 ; Roseth et al., 2011 ; Sluckin and Smith, 1977 ; Strayer and Strayer, 1976 ).…”

Social hierarchy plays important roles in maintaining social structures. Despite similarity in concept, frameworks of human hierarchy have seldom been investigated in parallel with other animals. Moreover, the importance of subordination in hierarchical formation has been largely underestimated in previous research. Here we established, compared, and investigated hierarchy in children and weanling mice. Temperament assessments suggested that children who are less persistent, low emotional intensity, and withdrew easily were more likely to be subordinate in competitive scenarios independent of task characteristics and interaction experiences. The tube test further showed that conflicts between mice were not resolved by winner approach but by loser withdrawal, which was mainly determined by intrinsic subordinate status regardless of opponents. Our study presents evolutionary conserved hierarchical relationships in young and a critical role of the intrinsic subordinate characteristics in hierarchical determination. These findings provide a new perspective on social interactions with potential implications for preschool education.

“…A comprehensive survey conducted by the US Department of Justice reported that more than 60% of children living in the United States were exposed to some type of violence in their daily lives (Finkelhor, Turner, Ormrod, Hamby, & Kracke, 2009), typically in a domestic context. In turn, exposure to domestic violence has been found to be associated with children's negatively biased social information processing (SIP) patterns (e.g., Crick & Dodge, 1994; Dodge, Bates, & Pettit, 1990; Mcdonald, Baden, & Lochman, 2013) as well as social and maladjusted behaviour, such as aggressive and violent behaviour, poor positive social skills, and learning problems (e.g., Shaw, Owens, Giovannelli, & Winslow, 2001; Ziv, 2012).…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of exposure to political violence on preschool children and their mothers. We explored whether these dyads are different from dyads with no known history of exposure to violence and from mother–child dyads with known exposure to domestic violence. Specifically, we explored differences in mothers' psychological status (depression and anxiety), dyadic emotional availability (EA), children's social information processing, and children's social behaviour, in a sample of 216 dyads divided into three groups (exposure to political violence, no exposure to violence, and exposure to domestic violence). We found evidence to support our hypotheses that children exposed to domestic violence exhibit the highest levels of social maladjustment with smaller but still significant differences between children exposed to political violence and children in the comparison group. As expected, the lowest EA scores were found in the exposure to domestic violence group, followed by dyads in the exposure to political violence group. Dyads belonging to the comparison group (no exposure) exhibited the highest levels of EA. These findings contribute to our understanding of the meaning of exposure to political violence, as well as sharpen the difference between exposure to political and domestic violence.

“…Studies examining the links between caregivers' behaviors and SIP reported that negative parental behaviors, such as negative emotionality, criticism, and covert and overt hostility, were associated with children's hostile attribution biases and aggressive tendencies in school [e.g., [25][26][27][28][29][30][31].…”

Exposure to adverse childhood experiences (ACE) has been found to have a profound negative impact on multiple child outcomes, including academic achievement, social cognition patterns, and behavioral adjustment. However, these links have yet to be examined in preschool children that are already experiencing behavior or social-emotional problems. Thus, the present study examined the links between the caregiver's and the child's exposure to ACE and multiple child and caregiver's outcomes in a sample of 30 preschool children enrolled in a Therapeutic Nursery Program (TNP). Children are typically referred to this TNP due to significant delays in their social emotional development that often result in difficulty functioning in typical childcare, home, and community settings. Analyses revealed some contradictory patterns that may be specific to this clinical sample. Children with higher exposure to ACE showed more biased social information processing patterns and their caregivers reported lower child social skills than caregivers of children with less exposure, however their inhibitory control levels were higher (better control) and staff reported that these children exhibited better social skills as well as better approaches to learning than children with less exposure. No such contradictions were found in relation to the caregiver's exposure to ACE, as it was positively associated with a number of negative child and caregiver outcomes.
