Peer reviewedBoulton, Michael J.; Smith, Peter K. – Child Development, 1990
In two classes of 8 year olds and 2 classes of 11 year olds, each child ranked all members of his or her class in terms of degree to which classmate was strong and liked. Subjects consistently overestimated their place in the hierarchy in relation to peers' perceptions. Bias in perceptions of strength extended to peer group. (RH)
