The Peer Group as a Context: Mediating and Moderating Effects on Relations between Academic Achievement and Social Functioning in Chinese Children.
Chen, Xinyin; Chang, Lei; He, Yunfeng
Child Development, v74 n3 p710-27 May-Jun 2003
Examined peer group contextual effects on relations between academic achievement and social functioning among Chinese 9-, 13-, and 16-year-olds. Found that peer groups were highly homogeneous on academic achievement. Academic achievement and social adjustment were associated at within-group individual and group levels. Group academic performance moderated relations between academic achievement and social adjustment (peer acceptance, social competence, and leadership), suggesting that individual-level relations are influenced by group academic norms.
