本研究调查了儿童对他们认为受其他儿童欢迎或不受欢迎的同龄人的归因和期望。四年级和五年级的儿童（N = 135）提出了几个不熟悉的同龄人被描述为受欢迎或不受欢迎（或两者都没有）的图片。然后，孩子们被告知他们和每个同伴之间的几次假设的遭遇，并被要求解释或评价每个同伴对这种情况的反应。正如假设的那样，孩子们对他们认为不受欢迎的孩子有负面的刻板印象，而对他们认为受欢迎的孩子的刻板印象是积极和消极因素的混合。结果证实了过去的研究表明，必须区分社会计量和感知的受欢迎程度。还讨论了性别差异，因为男孩和女孩持有的定型观念在几个方面不同。
The present study investigated what types of attributions and expectations children have about peers who they believe are popular or unpopular with other children. Fourth and fifth grade children (N = 135) were presented with pictures of several unacquainted peers who were described as popular or unpopular (or neither). Children were then told about several hypothetical encounters between themselves and each of the peers and were asked to explain or rate what each peer's response would be to that situation. As hypothesized, children had negative stereotypes about children who they believed were unpopular, while stereotypes about children believed to be popular were a mixture of positive and negative elements. Results confirmed past research in suggesting that a distinction must be made between sociometric and perceived popularity. Gender differences were also discussed, because the stereotypes held by boys and girls differed in several respects.
