| Abstract | The literature on competitive behavior in children is examined. Sections of the review concern the socializing process of competitiveness, evolutionary foundations, early developmental processes, the relationship between competition and aggression, gender differences, competition and cooperation, anthropological perspectives, effects of competition (including assimilated values, stress and anxiety), and Type A behavior development in children. Implications of findings for each area are discussed. A new dimensional framework for competition is presented in order to prompt a more differentiated conceptualization, especially for future investigations. The framework distinguishes many variations of competitive behavior. It is concluded that competitiveness has a multifactorial basis. There is a complex interrelationship between competitive behavior and other developmental phenomena. Competitive behavior appears to be closely related to stress. Competitive behavior can be a positive developmental characteristic, in that it can be elegantly adaptive, constructive, and successful, as many young sports champions and high achievers can attest. But extreme or inappropriate competitiveness can be detrimental to the developing child, both as an unconstructive social response, and as a characteristic that can increase the potential for Type A behavior for a young child, or later in adulthood.
