Although important distinctions among sociometrically rejected, neglected, and popular children have been reported in the literature, concerns have been raised about use of negative peer nominations in identifying these children. A revised procedure developed by Asher and Dodge [Developmental Psychology, 22, 444-449 (1986)] eliminates the need to obtain negative peer nominations. In the present study, the construct validity of this revised procedure was explored and its long-term stability examined over 6, 12 and 18 months. Our findings establish significant differences on several indices among rejected, neglected and popular children. However, the differences between rejected and popular children were more robust than those between neglected and popular children, who failed to differ from one another on most of the measures. Moreover, fairly good long-term stability was found for popular and rejected status, whereas the long-term stability for neglected status was quite poor. These findings were addressed in the context of similar research employing negative nomination methods. Implications for the identification of at-risk children were also discussed.
尽管文献中已报道了在社会测量中被拒绝、被忽视和受欢迎儿童之间的重要差异，但对于使用负面同伴提名来识别这些儿童的做法，人们也提出了担忧。阿舍和道奇[《发展心理学》，22，444 - 449（1986）]开发的一种修订程序消除了获取负面同伴提名的必要性。在本研究中，探讨了该修订程序的结构效度，并在6个月、12个月和18个月的时间跨度内检验了其长期稳定性。我们的研究结果表明，在几个指标上，被拒绝、被忽视和受欢迎的儿童之间存在显著差异。然而，被拒绝儿童和受欢迎儿童之间的差异比被忽视儿童和受欢迎儿童之间的差异更为明显，在大多数测量指标上，被忽视儿童之间没有差异。此外，受欢迎和被拒绝状态具有相当好的长期稳定性，而被忽视状态的长期稳定性则相当差。这些发现是在采用负面提名方法的类似研究背景下进行阐述的。同时也讨论了对识别高危儿童的启示。
