“…All of the 15 significant results relating an individual's personal adjustment to his popularity are in the positive direction, but when the insignificant and untested results are included, the proportion falls to 74%. Although several of the correlations reported are over .50, the median is close to .10 Bonney et al, 1953;Borgatta, 1953;Burks, 1938;Cattell, 1934;Cohen, 1954;Cronbach, 1950;Fiedler et al, 1957;French & Mensh, 1948;Guthrie, 1956;Kelly, 1957;Martin et al, 1952;Mill, 1952Mill, , 1953Shapiro, 1953;Slater, 1955a;Tagiuri, 1952).…”

“…On the basis of nine contradictory results little can be said about the relationship between dominance and popularity. The trend is positive, but the two significant results are negative Bonney et al, 1953;Borgatta, 1953;Kelly, 1957;Lemann & Solomon, 1952;Shapiro, 1953).…”

“…The scales measuring extroversion on the 16 P. F. are better predictors of popularity than the corresponding scales on the Guilford-Zimmerman, and ratings on extroversion are more highly related to popularity than either. The highly chosen, popular individual emerges from these studies as a sociable, surgent, and emotionally labile person Bonney et al, 1953;Borgatta, 1953;Burks, 1938;Cattell, 1934;Cronbach, 1950;French & Mensh, 1948;Kelly, 1957;Lemann & Solomon, 1952;Mill, 1952Mill, , 1953Shapiro, 1953;Slater, 1955a).…”

“…Conservatism is positively associated with popularity in 73% of the results. More popular individuals tend to be more conservative, conventional, or authoritarian Bonney et al, 1953;French & Mensh, 1948;Hays, 1953;Kelly, 1957;Martin et al, 1952;Masling et al, 1955;Rohde, 1951;Shapiro, 1953;Slater, 1955a).…”

Studies included cover the period from 1900 to October 1957 and do not include those studies wherein children constitute the sample. The review is concerned with 7 personality characteristics (introversion-extraversion, dominance, interpersonal sensitivity, masculinity-feminity, conservatism, intelligence, and adjustment) and their relationship to such group behavior variables as leadership, popularity, conformity, task activity, total activity, and social-emotional activity. Most of the studies yielded low positive relationships, intelligence being the best predictor of individual behavior in the group. Considering the studies as a whole, the author is encouraged by the many clear trends which emerge. 151 refs.

This is an empirical-descriptive study of personality, value, interest, social awareness, and interpersonal orientation variables associated with a sociometric status of high acceptance, high rejectance, or relative anonymity of freshmen men and women. A range of assessment techniques revealed differences among groups in needs expressed in interpersonal settings, in affectionate and inclusive social behavior, in interests, and in past dating behavior and requests for current emotional counseling. Results indicate the anonymous student as defensive, self-protective, and emotionally uncomfortable; the highly accepted student as interpersonally rewarding; and the rejected student as interpersonally aversive. Regardless of objective social status all students felt accepted by others. Results are seen as means for helping anonymous and possibly rejected students establish a more satisfying interpersonal environment.
