Abstract

One hundred and forty-nine 8–11 year-old children (86 males; M = 9 years - 4 months and SD = 7 months) from the UK were administered the Trust Beliefs in Peers scale and were observed in the playground over one school year. Quadratic relations were found between trust beliefs in peers and peer interaction, which varied by gender. Compared to girls with the middle range of trust beliefs, girls with very low beliefs and those with very high beliefs (a) were less accepted/more rejected by the peer group (i.e., lower group interaction, and greater negatively received bids), (b) showed greater indirect aggression (engaged in and received), (c) showed greater non-engagement (i.e., being alone), and (d) showed greater concomitant distress. Compared to children with the middle range of trust beliefs, children with those extreme trust beliefs in peers demonstrated greater direct aggression (engaged in and received) and showed passive behavior (for boys only). The findings supported the conclusion that children, primarily girls, who trust peers too little and those who trust too much are at risk for psychosocial maladjustment.

Significant individual variation in slope was found for prosocial behavior for girls (β = -0.146, p < 0.001) and boys (β = -0.169, p < 0.001), and for passive behaviour for boys (β ≤ -0.010, p < 0.001). These findings had no bearing on the relation between trust beliefs in peers and behavior in the study.

The graphs for the relations regarding negatively received bids, indirect aggression, peer indirect aggression, distress, being alone, passive behavior, and peer direct aggression (as a function of gender) are depicted in Figures 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10, respectively, in the Supplemental File.
