Abstract
Affiliative, aggressive, and problem-solving types of behavior were an alyzed in middle-class preschoolers, 53 boys and 52 girls, grouped by length of time in day care. Boys were observed to be significantly mor e aggressive toward peers, but no differences between boys' and girls' aggressive or affiliative ratings were attributable to differential e ffects of time of entry into day care.
