Compared sociometric and behavioral measures of two-year (kindergarten to grade two, or grade one to grade two) and 1-year (kindergarten-only or grade-one-only) rejected children. Concluded that it was possible to identify at-risk, two-year rejected children as early as kindergarten by means of combined sociometric and behavioral data. (GLR)

This study examined fourth- and fifth-grade girls' cognitions of their relationally aggressive peers as a function of their own relationally aggressive and sociometric status. Findings indicated that relationally aggressive girls tended to display a relatively cautious and wary social cognitive style in relationally provocative social situations.…

Children's behavior and sociometric status were rated in kindergarten and first grade. Mothers provided data on family ecology. Rejected children were more likely to come from low-SES families in which restrictive discipline was used, and were more aggressive and less academically skilled than accepted children. Children whose SES improved across…

The latter did not show…
