โฆ Synopsis
This article addresses theoretical and methodological problems in the study of aggression in infants and toddlers. It is argued that the Occurrence of aggressive behavior in very young children must be considered against the background of their developing social competence. As a result, evidence for the infants' capacities to act with specific intentions and the Wants' knowledge of the other as a distinctive individual having his own plans and goals are reviewed. Studies of early social interactions in humans are then examined with special emphasis on cognitive development and social cognition.
Finally, the problem of dominance in very young children's groups is considered.
