Abstract
Children with high frustration reactivity are at risk for externalizing symptoms such as aggression. Research has indicated that certain parenting factors, such as responsiveness are associated with positive child outcomes. This study examined the effect of frustration reactivity and parental responsiveness on symptoms of aggression in a longitudinal design.
