Pupils' Self Concepts and Perceptions of Popular Qualities.

Hendry, L. B.; Jamie, D.

Scottish Educational Review, v10 n2 p44-52 Nov 1978

Pupils, ages 15-16, completed a self-evaluative checklist from which self-concept groups were identified by cluster analysis. Academic attainment distinguished significantly among groups. Students also ranked qualities describing their most popular peers. Physical attributes (athleticism, attractiveness, sexuality) proved to be the main criteria for popularity. (Author/SJL)
