Social Networks and Social Status in Emotionally Disturbed Children.

Farmer, Thomas W.; Cairns, Robert B.

Behavioral Disorders, v16 n4 p288-98 Aug 1991

Affiliation patterns of 19 emotionally disturbed children (ages 10-13) in a residential school were analyzed. Results indicated that robust peer clusters could be identified, within-classroom clusters were relatively stable over time, and considerable overlap occurred between findings of social network analyses and applied sociometric techniques.
