“…Because spending money may be necessary in order to try new brands and products, our definition may bias our sample towards those who are spenders. Future research on saving behaviour of young people may benefit from defining groups based more on reputation than on self-definition, using methods such as those described by Kinney (1993Kinney ( , 1999, or Stone and Brown (1998).…”

“…Some of the major crowd labels that have been examined in the psychological literature include jocks, brains, and trendies or populars. Other crowd labels that are less often studied are partyers, skaters, and performers (Kinney, 1993(Kinney, , 1999Stone & Brown, 1999).…”

“…Crowds are ''reputation-based abstract social categories'' (Stone & Brown, 1999, p. 7). Various crowds are perceived to have different characteristics in terms of clothing style, academic attitude, weekend activities, and level of participation in sports and extracurricular activities (Kinney, 1999). Some of the major crowd labels that have been examined in the psychological literature include jocks, brains, and trendies or populars.…”

“…And the danger of framing oppositionality in terms of resistance is that identities are theorized as more dichotomous than is in fact the case. Certainly a wide variety of oppositional youth identities have been described by researchers (e.g., Bucholtz 1999b, Eckert 1989, Leblanc 1999, Lowney 1995, Kinney 1999, but despite the rigidity of these categories in local ideologies, they often prove to be flexible in practice. Hemmings (2000) documents a U.S. urban high school clique of unusual diversity, in which socially marginalized students of different backgrounds came together in ways that both allowed for individuality and precluded violent opposition with other groups.…”

s Abstract The study of youth played a central role in anthropology in the first half of the twentieth century, giving rise to a still-thriving cross-cultural approach to adolescence as a life stage. Yet the emphasis on adolescence as a staging ground for integration into the adult community often obscures young people's own cultural agency or frames it solely in relation to adult concerns. By contrast, sociology has long considered youth cultures as central objects of study, whether as deviant subcultures or as class-based sites of resistance. More recently, a third approach-an anthropology of youth-has begun to take shape, sparked by the stimuli of modernity and globalization and the ambivalent engagement of youth in local contexts. This broad and interdisciplinary approach revisits questions first raised in earlier sociological and anthropological frameworks, while introducing new issues that arise under current economic, political, and cultural conditions. The anthropology of youth is characterized by its attention to the agency of young people, its concern to document not just highly visible youth cultures but the entirety of youth cultural practice, and its interest in how identities emerge in new cultural formations that creatively combine elements of global capitalism, transnationalism, and local culture.

“…Importantly, social opportunities matter to academic outcomes but can be either academically productive or counterproductive depending on the specific opportunity (Coleman, 1961; Eckert, 1989; Eder & Kinney, 1995; Kinney, 1999). Of the forms of social achievement discussed in the prior section, some have well-established associations with better grades (e.g., warm relationships with teachers and fellows students, sports participation, and positive psychosocial functioning), and some have well-established associations with poorer grades (e.g., party behavior; Catalano, Haggerty, Osterle, Fleming, & Hawkins, 2004; Crosnoe, 2002; Fredericks & Eccles, 2006; McLeod & Fettes, 2007; Needham, Crosnoe, & Muller, 2004).…”

Beauty has a well-documented impact on labor market outcomes with both legal and policy implications. This monograph investigated whether this stratification is rooted in earlier developmental experiences. Specifically, we explored how high schools’ dual roles as contexts of social relations and academic progress contributed to the long-term socioeconomic advantages of being physically attractive. Integrating theories from multiple disciplines, the conceptual model of this study contends that physically attractive youths’ greater social integration and lesser social stigma help them accumulate psychosocial resources that support their academic achievement while also selecting them into social activities that distract from good grades. A mixed-methods design, combining statistical analyses of the National Longitudinal Survey of Adolescent Health and qualitative analyses of a single high school, supported and expanded this model. The data revealed that the benefits of attractiveness flowed through greater social integration but were partially offset by social distractions, especially romantic/sexual partnerships and alcohol-related problems. Interview and ethnographic data further revealed that adolescents themselves understood how physical attractiveness could lead to favorable treatment by teachers and classmates while also enticing youth to emphasize socializing and dating, even when the latter took time from other activities (like studying) and marginalized some classmates. These patterns, in turn, predicted education, work, family, and mental health trajectories in young adulthood. The results of this interdisciplinary, theoretically grounded, mixed methods study suggest that adolescence may be a critical period in stratification by physical appearance and that the underlying developmental phenomena during this period are complex and often internally contradictory. The monograph concludes with discussion of theoretical and policy implications and recommendations for future developmental research.
