Abstract = {The authors investigated the relation between children's
knowledge structures for peers and externalizing behavior
problems. Initial levels of aggression were evaluated in 135
boys and 124 girls (Grades 1-3; 40% African American, 60%
Caucasian) in Year 1 and again in Years 6 and 9. In Year 6,
3 aspects of their social knowledge structures were
assessed: quality, density, and appropriateness. Results
indicate that knowledge structures are related to children's
concurrent levels of externalizing behaviors and that
knowledge structures are related to children's concurrent
levels of externalizing behaviors and predict externalizing
behaviors 3 years later even after controlling for current
levels of behavior. In addition, knowledge structures in
Year 6 mediate the relation between aggression in Year 1 and
externalizing behaviors in Year 9. The role of knowledge
structures in the maintenance and growth of children's
antisocial behavior is discussed.},

Title = {Development and validation of the social information

boys.},

Abstract = {The purpose of this study was to evaluate the psychometric
properties of an audio computer-assisted self-interviewing
Web-based software application called the Social Information
Processing Application (SIP-AP) that was designed to assess
social information processing skills in boys in 3rd through
5th grades. This study included a racially and ethnically
diverse sample of 244 boys ages 8 through 12 (M = 9.4) from
public elementary schools in 3 states. The SIP-AP includes 8
videotaped vignettes, filmed from the first-person
perspective, that depict common misunderstandings among
boys. Each vignette shows a negative outcome for the victim
and ambiguous intent on the part of the perpetrator. Boys
responded to 16 Web-based questions representing the 5
social information processing mechanisms, after viewing each
vignette. Parents and teachers completed measures assessing
boys' antisocial behavior. Confirmatory factor analyses
revealed that a model positing the original 5 cognitive
mechanisms fit the data well when the items representing
prosocial cognitions were included on their own factor,
creating a 6th factor. The internal consistencies for each
of the 16 individual cognitions as well as for the 6
cognitive mechanism scales were excellent. Boys with
elevated scores on 5 of the 6 cognitive mechanisms exhibited
more antisocial behavior than boys whose scores were not
elevated. These findings highlight the need for further
research on the measurement of prosocial cognitions or
cognitive strengths in boys in addition to assessing
cognitive deficits. Findings suggest that the SIP-AP is a
reliable and valid tool for use in future research of social
information processing skills in boys.},
