Abstract
This study investigated the prevalence of mutual antipathy in peer groups and the distribution of mutual antipathy with same- and opposite-gender peers. Moreover, psychosocial maladjustment was compared between children with mutual antipathies and children with no mutual antipathies. The subjects, 520 children in the fifth and sixth grades completed peer nominations that assessed mutual antipathy, social behavior, peer victimization. and friendship. In addition, teachers assessed children's internalizing and externalizing problems. The results indicated that 23.5% of the children had one or more mutual antipathy. Compared to children with no antipathy, those with antipathy had different psychosocial adjustment. When including children who received at least one rejection nomination, having a mutual antipathy was associated with maladjustment for girls, but not for boys.
