Gavin, Leslie A.; Furman, Wyndol
Developmental Psychology, v25 n5 p827-34 Sep 1989
Examines peer group perceptions of 312 students in grades 5-12. Early and middle adolescents placed more value on being in a popular group; perceived more conformity, antagonism, and leadership in their groups; and reported more antagonistic interactions with those outside their groups than did preadolescents and late adolescents.
