Diagnostics of Aggressive Behaviour Patterns in Preschool Children

Among the requests concerning children's behaviour that kindergarten teachers address to psychologists the theme of aggressive behaviour in children aged 5-7 years constitutes up to 40%. In this connection the aim of this research was to identify aggressive behaviour in preschoolers of two Moscow kindergartens. The following methods were used: questioning of kindergarten teachers, pictorial projective techniques, and a specially developed questionnaire for teachers. Basing on the results obtained in the research children with aggressive behaviour were selected for participation in a specially developed programme aimed at reducing aggression.
