Among young teens, aggression equals popularity (506 words)
It's not just a stereotype: Popular teens really are meaner than their peers--at least according to a study in the May issue of Developmental Psychology (Vol.
To determine whether the connection between aggression and popularity may be due to overt aggression, relational aggression or both, Rose and her team surveyed more than 600 third-, fifth-, seventh- and ninth-graders about their schoolmates' aggressive behaviors and popularity.
Next, the researchers explored whether the teens were using relational aggression in a calculated way to increase their popularity over time--say, by snubbing an unpopular classmate--or whether popular teens became more aggressive over time because their schoolmates, bowing to their social power, allowed them to do so.
Popularity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (362 words)
Popularity figures are an important part of many people's personal value systems, and forms a vital component of success in people-oriented fields such as politics.
General popularity usually involves respect in two directions: the popular person is respected by his peers, and will simultaneously show them respect, thus reinforcing their belief that he is deserving of his popularity.
This reciprocal nature of interpersonal popularity is often overlooked by people (particularly the young) who are attempting to become popular: being loud or a show-off may be successful in gaining attention, but is unlikely to provide the necessary mutual respect characteristic of "true popularity".
