The study, which observed fifth- and sixth-grade students, found that when it was unclear whether teasing was friendly or unfriendly, kids tended to interpret the act as unfriendly. Previous research showed that fifth- and sixth-grade students were able to distinguish between antisocial and prosocial teases. However, this study, presented in February at a conference of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology, demonstrates that the same children are not always able to distinguish the intent of teasing that is more ambiguous.
