Abstract
The two goals of the present study were to determine the extent to which two forms of rough-and-tumble play (R&T/Rough and R&T/Chase) varied across early adolescence and to explore the role of each form of R&T in boys' dominance relations. In this longitudinal study, the two forms of R&T were statistically independent of each other. R&T/Chase did not vary from Year 1 to Year 2 and was not related to dominance, but R&T/Rough declined across time and was related to dominance displays and aggression displays. Results are discussed in terms of the role of R&T in adolescent boys' dominance relationships.

It is suggested that play is a distinctive behavioural category whose adaptive significance calls for explanation and its capacity to enhance innovative behaviour seems to be a residual function of play which has acquired a new cultural importance.

The social transactions of popular, rejected, neglected, and average first- and third-grade boys were examined during their initial encounters with peers, finding that socially interactive behaviors anteceded high preference by peers, and low preference in turn led to social isolation in subsequent sessions.

Data strongly suggest that “play-fighting” has evolved from different precursors in different taxa and thus has multiple origins and has an important bearing on the universal applicability of many of the suggested functions of play-fighting and also on how such behavior is to be described and classified.
