Human Growth and Development / Unit 10 HGD 1386 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Clique Structure and Aggression
Captions available
The idea
In about one hundred seventy classrooms, the average clique had about six members; egalitarian cliques showed more relational aggression, jockeying for status.
In practice
Hierarchical cliques more prosocial inside the group and more aggressive toward other cliques.
Where people slip
Structure shaped behaviour in this study: flat groups competed within, ranked groups competed with outsiders.
