Popularity and Rejection in Children's Peer Groups: A South African Perspective.
Bonn, Marta; Kruger, Pieter
Early Child Development and Care, v125 p1-14 Nov 1996
Assessed the classroom and playground behavior of children nominated as either popular or rejected by their peers. Subjects were 631 black South African children between 8 and 12 years old. Found that rejected and popular children did not differ in their initiations of contact with other children, but popular children were the recipients of more initiations from others. (MOK)
