Only the hypothesis of the fast study on maltreatment characteristics was supported. Victims of frequent and severe abuse were more likely to report aggression. As for the second and third study, the expectation of positive outcomes from violence and feelings of shame-rage (as indicated by high levels of guilt-free shame) were actually inversely related to aggression.
Even though these results went in the opposite direction of the hypotheses, they are not altogether in conflict with theoretical models. According to L. Rowell Huesmann's description of social information processing, a hostile worldview was considered a mediating factor in the development of aggression problems. The tendency for aggressive youth to expect negative rather than positive outcomes from violence can be interpreted as support for this view. Abuse-related shame was not related to aggression, but it did demonstrate the predicted association with anger and hostility. The suggestion therefore is that feeling shame as a result of abuse leads to pent-up rather than expressed rage.
Given these results, it is suggested that victims of harsh maltreatment be targeted for appropriate prevention and skills promotion programs. Also, future research should investigate whether the formation of problematic relationship schemas and the tendency to suppress abuse-related emotions contribute to the maintenance of aggression problems.

This research study was designed to evaluate whether or not Gestalt therapy approaches could be used effectively when intervening with aggressive acts in a day care setting. Five focus children were observed at timed intervals as to whether or not they were aggressive, how the caretaker intervened, and how the children responded to the caretaker intervention. After a baseline of aggressive acts was established, caretakers were trained to use Gestalt therapy intervention methods. Comparisons were made to establish whether there were fewer aggressive acts after Gestalt therapy intervention methods were used and if the children responded more positively to these intervention methods. This study suggests that Gestalt therapy intervention methods could be used in a day care setting to effectively deal with childrenâ s aggression.

Resumo: O presente estudo preocupou-se em pesquisar a agressividade infantil dando continuidade ao estudo realizado durante a graduação, destacando a influência do meio e do desenvolvimento emocional nas atitudes das crianças. Buscou investigar e pontuar recursos e estratégias para lidar e ou evitar as manifestações agressivas das crianças de Educação Infantil, analisando as possíveis causas da agressividade infantil do ponto de vista da psicanálise de Winnicott. Para isso foi realizado um estudo de casos múltiplos, onde observou-se três escolas em contextos diferentes (uma pública central, uma pública de periferia e uma particular) e entrevistou-se cinco professoras dessas escolas afim de compreender o fenômeno em diferentes variáveis. Os dados obtidos indicaram que a redução dos momentos de brincadeira e o excesso de preocupação com conteúdos pedagógicos na pré-escola influencia consideravelmente no aumento de manifestações agressivas das crianças, assim como técnicas de relaxamento e a presença de uma outra pessoa auxiliando a professora podem contribuir na amenização dos atos agressivos. Como produto desse estudo foi elaborado um guia de orientações para professores com o objetivo de propiciar a reflexão diante de recursos e estratégias que podem ser empregados diante da agressividade infantil pensando no desenvolvimento das crianças.
Abstract: The present study was concerned in the research of child aggressiveness continuing the study performed during the grauation, highlighting the influence of the environament and emotional development in the atitudes of children. Sought to investigate and rate resources and strategies to address and prevent aggressive manifestations of children from Early Childhood Education, analyzing the possible causes of childhood from the Winnicott's psychoanalysis point of view. For this, a study of multiple was performed where three schools in diferent contexts were observed (a public school in the suburbs, a public school in the periphery zone and a private school) and five teachers in these schools were interviewed in order to understand the phenomenon in different variables. The data indicated that the reduction of playful moments and excessive concern with educational content in preschool greatly influences the increase of agressive manifestations in children, as well as relaxation tehcniques and the presence of another person assiting the teacher can contribute the amelioration of aggressive acts. As a product of this study, a guide was prepared with guidelines for teachers in order to promote reflection on resources and strategies that can be applied on child aggression while thinking about the development of children
