“…It may be necessary to design different interventions for children in different schools. While it could be argued that the effective number of subjects for analyzing sociometric position in this study is the number of classrooms, not the number of children, school-wide sociometric data correlate extremely highly with within-classroom sociometric data, and the consistency is even greater for the extremes of friendship choices received (Bell & French 1950;Gronlund & Whitney 1956). …”

The relationship between social skills, social interaction, and popularity was examined. The subjects were 198 children in third and fourth grades in middle- and low-income schools. The relationships between number of friends, socioeconomic status, and grade level were studied in a 2 times 2 times 2 factorial design with 2 sets of dependent measures: (1) social skills were assessed by an experimenter testing each child individually on a set of tasks which included measures of the ability to label emotions in facial expressions, knowledge of how to make friends, giving help, and role-taking ability; and (2) social interaction in the classroom was assessed using a naturalistic observational system. Popular and unpopular children differed in their knowledge of how to make friends and on the referential-communication task. In the classroom, popular children distributed and received more positive reinforcement than unpopular children and spent less time daydreaming. Both grade and social class factors were significant. However, different patterns of results contributed to the main effect of friends and the grade-level main effect. The importance of assessing social skills which are first validated by reference to a criterion such as sociometric position was noted.

“…Studies testing this consistency-specificity hypothesis have produced mixed results, however. Some researchers reported that leadership behaviors are consistent across situations (e.g., Albright & Forziati, 1995;Barnlund, 1962;Bell & French, 1950;Borgatta, 1954;Carter & Nixon, 1949;Geier, 1967;Gibb, 1950;Gordon & Medland, 1965;Schultz, 1974;Zaccaro, Foti, & Kenny, 1991), but others found evidence that leadership behaviors vary by context (Barrow, 1976;Herold, 1977;Hill, 1973;Hill & Hughes, 1974;James & White, 1983).…”

“…They have been employed to analyse coalition formation, rates of group interaction, group-level processes, and most frequently, emergent leadership. Bell & French (1950) were interested in the stability of leadership behaviour in groups. Each subject participated in six, five-person groups, and the task content was the same in each of the six sessions.…”

“…They estimated that about 56 per cent of the variance in leadership was stable from task to task. Barnlund (1962) replicated Bell & French's (1950) study except that Barnlund varied the task type to explore a situational theory of leadership. A different task was used for six sessions: motor, artistic, mathematical, literary, social and spatial tasks.…”

The design and analysis of data when individuals are in more than one group are discussed. In the generations design, the group members change across time in a pattern that mimics the birth and death of members in families. We present a regression‐based approach to the estimation of conformity and stability parameters. In a rotation design, people interact in multiple groups and multiple sessions and each group involves a different set of partners. For two different types of rotation designs, we present a variance decomposition approach. For all designs discussed, we illustrate the analysis with results from actual studies.
