本研究探讨了学校表现、课堂上的友谊选择以及各种与学校相关的活动对孩子自我定义的重要性之间的相互关系。孩子们将那些在不相关活动上表现（无论是实际的还是扭曲的）比自己好而在相关活动上稍逊于自己的同学称为朋友。还有一个惊人的相似效应。朋友的整体表现与受试者自己的整体表现高度相似，并且受试者和朋友在受试者的相关活动上的表现都比在受试者的不相关活动上的表现更好。一个遥远的人，在这种情况下是一个不喜欢的人，在相关和不相关的活动上都受到了贬损。
The present study examined the interrelations among performance in school, friendship choices in the classroom, and the importance of various school-related' activities for a child's self-definition. Children named as friends those classmates whose performance (both actual and distorted) was better than their own on irrelevant activities and somewhat inferior to their own on relevant activities. There was also a striking similarity effect. Friends' overall performance was highly similar to the subject's own overall performance, and both the subjects and friends performed better on the subject's relevant activity than on the subject's irrelevant activity. The performance of a distant other, in this case a disliked other, was derogated on both relevant and irrelevant activities.
