- Title
Sociometric status and peer group behavior.

- Abstract
Children's peer relations arc perhaps the most ubiquitous of all human relationships. Sociometric status is distinct from friendship or peer group membership and concerns overall peer acceptance. Sociometric status is unilateral in terms of measurement, in group evaluations of individual members, but it is not a unitary social construct. The present study studies the sociometric status and peer group behavior. Numerous studies have examined the types of behaviors that children ascribe to peers who vary in preference and popularity. The social context plays a major role in the line between social behavior and social status.
