Predicting Children's Sociometric Status from Their Behavior

Abstract

The present study investigated the relationship between children's behavior and their popularity by examining two hypotheses. First, the ability of children to integrate themselves into the ongoing activity or conversation when entering a peer group and not to interfere or call attention to themselves was expected to be associated with their popularity. Second, the relationship between fitting into the group and popularity was expected to be strongest for children who accurately perceived the group's behavior. Further the study tested whether the responses to hypothetical social dilemmas found to differentiate popular and unpopular children in earlier research would generalize in the form of actual behavioral differences to analogous real situations.
