Abstract
Recent research has revealed significant heterogeneity in the peer difficulties associated with social withdrawal subtypes during early adolescence but little is known about possible sources of that heterogeneity This study of 194 Indian young adolescents 48 female 90 Hindu M age = 1335 years evaluated whether the peer adversity related to selfreported social withdrawal subtypes shyness unsociability avoidance varied as a function of peernominated overt and relational aggression and gender Regression analyses revealed that overt aggression and gender moderated the pathways between shyness and peer exclusion and peer victimization such that the associations were significant and positive only for boys who were high and girls who were low in overt aggression Several additional moderator effects were found including results revealing that relational aggression in certain cases in conjunction with gender moderated the association between 1 avoidance and peer exclusion and peer rejection 2 shyness and peer rejection and 3 unsociability and peer victimization For adolescents who were average and low in relational aggression avoidance was positively related to peer rejection and unsociability was positively related to peer victimization However only for boys who were high in relational aggression avoidance was found to be positively related to peer exclusion and shyness was positively related to peer rejection The findings highlight the importance of considering additional individual risk factors in studies of social withdrawal subtypes and point to important differences for young adolescent withdrawn boys and girls
