Relational aggression encompasses behaviors that harm others by damaging, threatening to damage or manipulating one's relationships with his/her peers, or by injuring one's feelings of social acceptance.
For example:
- Purposefully ignoring someone when angry (giving
the "silent
treatment")
- Spreading rumors about a disliked
classmate
- Telling others not to play with a certain
classmate as a means of retaliation.
