Adolescents' Concept of Popularity and Unpopularity, Comparing 1960 with 1976.

Sebald, Hans

Adolescence, v16 n61 p187-93 Spr 1981

Two comparable random samples of 100 high school students each were given the opportunity to respond to open-ended questions about what makes for a popular teenager and what makes for an "oddball" or "square." The importance attached to being popular in the high school crowd seems to have been modified little over the 16-year time period. (Author/RH)
