(2018) : Culture and peer relationships. In: Bukowski, William Michael; Laursen, Brett; Rubin, Kenneth H. (Hg.): Handbook of peer interactions, relationships, and groups.: New York: Guilford Press, S. 552-570
Abstract: Over the past several decades, there has been increased interest in culture and children’s peer relationships. The findings from various research programs have clearly indicated that cultural contexts play a significant role in shaping children’s experiences in peer interactions and relationships. Cultural beliefs and values provide guidance for how peers judge and evaluate specific behaviors that children display in interactions. Social judgments and evaluations, in turn, serve to regulate children’s behaviors and eventually affect their developmental outcomes. In addition to social evaluation and regulation processes, culture determines, in part, the features and functions of dyadic and group relationships. In this chapter, we review and discuss the issues involved in the study of cultural diversity as it relates to peer interactions and relationships. The main theme of the chapter is the understanding of cultural involvement in the organization of peer relationsh ips. We first discuss various theoretical issues concerning cultural values, children’s social functioning, and peer relationships. Then we review the literature on children’s social behaviors in peer interactions in different cultural contexts. In the following sections, we review and discuss how cultural factors may be involved in determining the structural and functional features of friendships, peer groups, and popularity. Our chapter concludes with a discussion of future directions in the study of culture and peer relationships. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2018 APA, all rights reserved) zitiert von 42

(2014): Examining the many dimensions of children’s popularity. In: Journal of Social and Personal Relationships 33 (1), S. 62-80. DOI: 10.1177/0265407514562562
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1177/0265407514562562 Abstract: Using peer nomination data, this study explored predictors of popularity among 144 third- through eighth-grade students in a diverse urban school. Findings demonstrated that children were more likely to be nominated as popular by peers when they exhibited higher levels of prosocial behavior or aggression. Furthermore, a significant interaction between prosocial behavior and aggression predicted popularity. Children with high levels of peer-nominated aggression were more likely to be viewed as popular when they were also nominated by their peers for engaging in high levels of prosocial behavior. Lastly, findings suggested that the positive association between prosocial behavior and popularity was stronger for girls than boys. Implications and areas for future research are discussed.

(2013): Social cognitive dynamics of popularity and indirect aggression. The role of social goals and social intelligence. ProQuest Information & Learning, US.
Abstract: This study investigated the social goals of adolescents and their use of indirect aggression. Additionally, it examined how gender, peer status (i.e. perceived popularity) and individual differences in social intelligence relate to adolescents' social goals and their use of indirect aggression. 109 seventh-graders completed a social goals measure and the Tromsø Social Intelligence Scale (TSIS; Silvera, Martinussen, & Dahl, 2001). Participants also completed a peer nomination assessment of popularity and indirect aggression. Results indicated reliable associations among social goals and peer-nominated indirect aggression. Gender, popularity, and social intelligence further moderated these associations. These findings suggest that the social goals of adolescents can be a motivating force to engage in hurtful behaviors and provide a framework from which peer relations researchers can improve peer relationships and be better equipped to intervene in indirect aggression.
