Summary:

"Aggression and other moral transgressions, such as cheating, lying, and stealing, are by their basic nature emotionally charged. Whether the transgression involves a preschooler taking another child's toy, a middle school child lying about a peer to stay out of trouble, or an adolescent involved in an armed robbery, victimizers are likely to feel a range of intense emotions, whereas their victims will feel different, but no less intense, emotions. But how and why do these acts of victimization become charged with emotions? And what do these emotions tell us about both those who become routine victimizers and those who learn to inhibit victimizing behaviors? Finally, is victimization primarily a matter of affective influences, or do cognitive abilities also play an important role? The chapters included in this volume share a unifying theme: the need to understand how children and adolescents' emotions, moods, and other affective processes interact with their social cognitions to influence moral and aggressive tendencies"--Introduction.
