Causes of
preschoolers' anger, and preschoolers' reactions to anger, were
studied. Measures of social competence and popularity were obtained.
Sex, age, and context differences in coping strategies were found.
Socially competent and popular children coped with anger in relatively
direct and active ways that minimized conflict and damage to social
relationships. (Author/GLR)
