Popular children are those who get many positive votes when researchers evaluate social preferences and peer acceptance.Popular-prosocial children are both well-liked (socially preferred)and admired (high in perceived popularity).They combine academic and social competence,performing well in school and communicating with peers in friendly and cooperative ways.But other popular children are admired for their socially adept yet belligerent behavior.Popular-antisocial children include "tough" boys-athletically skilled but poor students who cause trouble and defy adult authority-and relationally aggressive boys and girls who enhance their own status by ignoring,excluding,and spreading rumors about other children.Despite their aggressiveness,peers often view these youths as "cool," perhaps because of their athletic abilities and sophisticated but devious social skills.Although peer admiration gives these children some protection against lasting adjustment difficulties,their antisocial acts require intervention.With age,peers like these high-status,aggressive youths less and less,eventually condemning their nasty tactics and rejecting them.
