“…Social hierarchies tend to emerge in which athletic and physically dominant boys make up the most popular boys' groups (Adler & Adler, 1996;Eder & Parker, 1987). Although leaders of these groups are perceived by peers as being the most popular, their high status paired with their bullying and socially aggressive tactics can result in their being disliked by others (Adler & Adler, 1995;Adler et al, 1992;Evans & Eder, 1993).…”

“…These studies suggested that this dislike occurred because popular girls tended to use a variety of socially aggressive strategies, including gossiping, starting rumors, and social exclusion, to help them maintain their high status. Similarly, boys in the most popular peer groups tended to have greater physical prowess, were more likely to be involved in extracurricular sports, tended to be socially dominant, and used aggressive and disruptive tactics to exert and maintain their social power (Adler & Adler, 1995;Eder & Parker, 1987). Further, narrative reports of peer conflict suggest that some popular youths may instigate episodes of collective bullying toward low-status peers to demonstrate and bolster their dominance over others (Adler et al, 1992;Evans & Eder, 1993).…”

Teacher assessments of interpersonal characteristics were used to identify subtypes of rural African American early adolescents (161 boys and 258 girls). Teacher ratings of interpersonal characteristics were used to identify popular and unpopular aggressive subtypes for both boys and girls. Unpopular aggressive youths did not have elevated levels of rejected sociometric status but were more likely to have lower levels of peer-perceived social prominence and social skills. Conversely, popular aggressive youths were more likely to be disliked by peers even though they were perceived by peers as socially prominent and socially skilled and were identified by teachers as highly involved in extracurricular activities. Both popular and unpopular aggressive youths tended to associate with others who had similar levels of peer-perceived popularity.

This study investigated the roles of adolescent popularity and likeability in eight domains of risk-taking in Australian grade 9 students (53% girls). The eight domains included previously examined areas of aggressive behaviours, alcohol use, and sexual intercourse, and areas where there is scarce information, including antisocial activities, unprotected intercourse, body imagerelated risk-taking, unsafe road practices, and stranger-related risk-taking. The results indicated a clear association between popularity and higher risk-taking in five of the eight domains. This is contrasted with likeability, which was not directly related to risk-taking aside from one two-way interaction with gender for sexual intercourse. The findings demonstrate the importance of including a broader range of risk-taking activities when considering popularity, particularly stranger-related risk-taking.
