Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Previous research identifies evolutionarily-relevant motives for the use of aggression in adolescence, including: competitive, impression management, reactive, and sadistic functions. We extend prior work by adopting a dyadic perspective and examining features of the perpetrator-target relationship and the characteristics of the target themselves. We used a sample of 278 Canadian adolescents (13–18 years old; 57 % boys; 54 % White) who engaged in aggression and a dyadic sample with their specific aggressive targets. We measured dyadic aggression (the types of aggression present in the dyad), dyadic relationship characteristics (reciprocity of aggression, friendship), target social characteristics (popularity, likability, social network position), and dyadic gender composition. Competitive aggression was related to direct aggression perpetrated by someone with lower or equal power (i.e., not bullying), reciprocal aggression, and male perpetrators. Impression management aggression was related to bullying, non-friend dyads, and targets with lower likability (though more overall friendships). Reactive aggression was related to direct aggression by someone with lower/equal power, and sadistic aggression was related to dyad friendship.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
