Children and adolescents who are perceived to be popular


Problem:

How can I make notes with bullet points in this paragraph? A small number of children and adolescents who are perceived to be popular, however, display a mix of positive and negative behaviors (Closson, 2009; Hawley, 2003a; LaFontana & Cillessen, 1999). These popular-aggressive kids are athletic, arrogant, and aggressive but at the same time are viewed as cool and attractive. Because their peers respect them, their aggressive tactics do not interfere with their popularity (Kuryluk et al., 2011). They wield high levels of social influence even though their actions are often manipulative rather than prosocial (Cillessen & Mayeux, 2004; Cillessen & Rose, 2005; Rodkin et al., 2000). Their classmates imi tate their styles of dress and taste in music and want to be friends with them so that they can be part of the in-group. Even school bullies can enjoy this kind of popularity, although their peers might avoid them for fear of becoming their next victim (Juvonen et al., 2003). The popular-aggressive phenomenon illustrates the adaptive value of aggression; for these individuals, aggression provides a route to power and influence (Hawley, 2014; Hawley et al., 2007). However, it is also a risk. Adolescents who are high in perceived popularity-typically popular-aggressive kids-show increased alcohol use and sexual activity over the years of high school (Mayeux et al., 2008).
