Abstract
Threats have been categorized as aggressive behaviors due to the nature of the intention expressed in the utterance. Threats constitute one type of aggressive behavior observed in preschoolers. This paper will discuss the nature of threats and their responses as collaborative units in children’s discourse. Based on the research, it is found that there are five types of threats and that committing harm is the mostly used one. According to the research, children usually reject the threat that was directed towards them or seeks for an explanation why the threat occurred in the first place. As the title suggests, the main emphasis will be put on the influence of the age and the gender on children’s use of threats. Studies have shown that the young children use threats more frequently than older ones and that their nature is usually much more violent due to their newly discovered feeling of power. Child’s gender does not influence the frequency of threats, but it mainly has the influence on the choice amongst different types of threats. Male children are significantly more violent in their use of threats and in most cases threaten to cause harm, while female preschoolers usually tend to use the withhold-object/action type of threat.
