Based on evidence, children like Connor, who witness aggression at home, are likely to be what with peers?

Children who witness aggression at home often exhibit increased levels of aggression themselves. This phenomenon can be attributed to several factors, including modeling behavior, where children imitate what they observe in their environment, and desensitization to violence, which may lead them to view aggressive actions as a normal way to interact with others.

When these children experience or witness home aggression, they may internalize and replicate these behaviors in their social interactions with peers. As a result, they are more likely to engage in aggressive behaviors, which can manifest in verbal or physical confrontations. This can lead to difficulties in forming positive relationships with peers, further perpetuating a cycle of aggression.

In contrast, children who have not been exposed to home aggression typically demonstrate behaviors that are more nurturing and cooperative, indicating a stark difference in social development influenced by their home environment. Therefore, the association between witnessing aggression and subsequent aggressive behavior in peer relationships highlights an important aspect of child psychology and development.
