“…At present, self-reported social aggression has been associated with a variety of internalizing difficulties, including rumination (Goldstein et al 2008), anxiety and depressive symptoms (Bagner et al 2007;Goldstein et al 2008), fear of negative evaluation (Loudin et al 2003), affective instability (Werner and Crick 1999), and self-harm behaviors (Werner and Crick 1999). Bagner and colleagues (2007) found a similar pattern of results related to romantic relational aggression, wherein high levels were correlated with social anxiety, loneliness, and depressive symptoms.…”

“…With respect to other psychosocial correlates, selfreported social aggression has been associated with lower agreeableness and poorer emotional understanding (Burton et al 2007), lower levels of perspective taking (Loudin et al 2003), psychopathic personality features (Miller and Lynam 2003), egocentricity and stimulus-seeking (Werner and Crick 1999), and alcohol and drug use (Bagner et al 2007). Several gender differences also were noted.…”

The emergence of a research literature exploring parallels between physical and nonphysical (i.e., social, relational, indirect) forms of aggression has raised many questions about the developmental effects of aggressive behavior on psychological functioning, peer relationships, and social status. Although both forms of aggression have been linked to problematic outcomes in childhood and adolescence, more recent findings have highlighted the importance of considering the possible social rewards conferred by socially aggressive behavior. This paper examines relevant theory and empirical research investigating the adaptive and maladaptive correlates specific to nonphysical forms of aggression. Findings are explored at the level of group (e.g., peer rejection), dyadic (e.g., friendship quality), and individual (e.g., depressive symptoms) variables. Key developmental considerations and methodological issues are addressed, and recommendations for future research integrating current theoretical conceptualizations and empirical findings on social aggression are advanced.

“…Linder and coworkers [2002] found in a college student sample that couple relationships suffer when such tactics are implemented by romantic partners. Individually, relationally aggressive partners are also more likely to manifest significant maladjustment, such as loneliness, depression, and substance abuse [Bagner et al, 2007].…”

Drawing from developmental theories of relational aggression, this article reports on a study designed to identify if spouses use relationally aggressive tactics when dealing with conflict in their marriage and the association of these behaviors with marital outcomes. Using a sample of 336 married couples (672 spouses), results revealed that the majority of couples reported that relationally aggressive behaviors, such as social sabotage and love withdrawal, were a part of their marital dynamics, at least to some degree. Gender comparisons of partner reports of their spouse's behavior revealed that wives were significantly more likely to be relationally aggressive than husbands. Structural equation modeling demonstrated that relational aggression is associated with lower levels of marital quality and greater marital instability for both husbands and wives. Implications are drawn for the use of relational aggression theory in the future study of couple conflict and marital aggression.

“…Perpetrators and victims of these behaviors exhibit a number of adjustment problems, including both internalizing and externalizing problems (e.g., Bagner et al, 2007;Coyne et al, 2010;Murray-Close et al, 2010;Schad et al, 2008) and lowquality romantic relationships (Linder et al, 2002). In addition, research suggests that females exhibit similar (e.g., Bagner et al, 2007;Linder et al, 2002;Schad et al, 2008) or higher (e.g., Coyne et al, 2010;Ellis et al, 2009;Murray-Close et al, 2010; although see Storch et al, 2004) levels of romantic relational aggression compared to males.…”
