Problem: How can I make notes with bullet points in this paragraph? Goals also shape how children respond to routine negative altercations such as hitting and name calling. Children whose goals focus on developing harmonious relationships react with more adaptive coping strategies including engagement, problem solving, and advice seeking. Children whose goal is to solicit social status engage in responses that are less effective, including less-effortful engagement, less-effortful problem solving, and retaliation. These responses are likely to encourage further altercations and not improve social relationships (Rudolph et al., 2011). Sometimes children have mixed social goals. Children who are high in perceived popularity, for example, might have the mixed goals of wanting to be popular and wanting to dominate and influence their peers. They achieve these mixed goals by a combination of prosocial behavior and manipu lative or socially savvy behavior (Caravita & Cillessen, 2012; La Fontana & Cillessen, 2010) or even aggressive behavior (Cillessen & Bellmore, 2011; Rodkin et al., 2013).
