Problem: How can I make notes with bullet points in this paragraph? Both of these sociometric approaches are useful. Nominations are helpful for questions concerning children's most extreme likes and dis likes; rating-scale assessments are better for finding out how each child feels about everyone else in the group. Rating-scale measures of acceptance are also better for detecting changes in acceptance when interventions are carried out to help children with peer-relations problems (Asher et al., 1996). Notably, although for decades researchers referred to well-liked children as "pop ular" (i.e., received many liked most and few liked least nominations (Coie et al., 1982), these are not necessary the peers who youth themselves think of as "popular," especially by adolescence. In fact, more recently, researchers adopted a different approach in which they actually asked youth to nominate which of their peers is "popular" (teachers and parents also are sometimes asked to report on popularity). Youth who receive many "popular" nominations (and sometimes also fewer Peer Status 309 "unpopular" nominations) are referred to as "perceived popular." In childhood, perceived popularity is quite strongly related to popularity assessed with sociometric techniques or, in order words, being well liked. In adolescence, however, these associations become weaker. At this age, popular adolescents tend to be visible and well known among their peers, but not necessarily well liked. Need Assignment Help?
