This study examined the moderating effects of prioritizing popularity on the association between early adolescents' popularity and their aggressive, leadership, and prosocial behaviors with peers. Participants were 288 14-year-olds from The Netherlands who completed a sociometric instrument and an assessment of how much they prioritized popularity over other personal goals. Results indicated that prioritizing popularity was distinct from actual popularity in the peer group. Further, prioritizing popularity moderated the association of popularity with aggressive and leadership behaviors, with adolescents who were both popular and who prioritized popularity being particularly aggressive and scoring high on leadership behaviors. This trend was especially true for boys. The same moderating effect was not found for prosocial behaviors. Motivational and social-cognitive factors in the dynamics of peer popularity are highlighted.
本研究考察了将受欢迎程度置于优先地位对青少年早期的受欢迎程度与其与同伴的攻击性行为、领导行为和亲社会行为之间关联的调节作用。参与者是来自荷兰的288名14岁青少年，他们完成了一份社会测量工具以及一项关于他们将受欢迎程度置于其他个人目标之上的程度的评估。结果表明，将受欢迎程度置于优先地位与同龄人中的实际受欢迎程度是不同的。此外，将受欢迎程度置于优先地位调节了受欢迎程度与攻击性行为和领导行为之间的关联，那些既受欢迎又将受欢迎程度置于优先地位的青少年尤其具有攻击性，并且在领导行为方面得分较高。这种趋势在男孩中尤为明显。亲社会行为未发现同样的调节作用。研究强调了同伴受欢迎程度动态中的动机和社会认知因素。
