Abstract
As part of a longitudinal study of sibling and friend relationships, we examined 7-year-olds’ conflicts and averted conflicts with siblings and friends during free play, construction tasks, and board game play. Both partner and task made a difference in rates of conflict and aggression and in affective intensity.
