The Structure of Adolescent Peer Networks.

Urberg, Kathryn A.; And Others

Developmental Psychology, v31 n4 p540-47 Jul 1995

Structural aspects of school-based peer networks of adolescents in grades 6 through 12 were mapped in 3 school systems in a major Midwestern city. The results indicated that female students were more connected to their peer network than were male students, and that peer networks became more exclusive with increasing grade. (MDM)
