description |
this study, based on the growing evidence of the relation between aggressiveness and prosociality as indicators of social status, addresses admiration among adolescents as a way to make status operational and evaluates the possible function of this social behavior. the hypothesis that guide the study is that, as aggressiveness and pro-sociality are valued features as they are linked to status, the admired adolescents, who are able to influence their peers, are those with such a profile. 274 pupils of 5th and 6th grades participated in the survey. the results reveal that the most common feature among admired adolescents is pro-sociality, followed by social prominence. However, two profiles of admired adolescents were identified that stand out by aggression: the “strong” profile includes, besides pro-sociality and social prominence, high scores on aggressiveness and popularity, while the profile called “model” ncludes, besides pro-sociality and social prominence, very low scores on aggressiveness and moderate scores on popularity. Differences between sexes are addressed. the results are discussed from the viewpoint of peer relations and possible implications for individual and group development among adolescents. |
