本研究考察了受欢迎青少年的欺凌行为在多大程度上影响欺凌行为是否更容易被同龄人接受或拒绝（受欢迎-规范效应），而不是所有同龄人的行为（班级规范）。具体而言，将班级欺凌的平均水平（班级规范）分为受欢迎青少年的行为（受欢迎-规范）和不受欢迎青少年的行为（非受欢迎-规范），并考察其与个体欺凌在同伴接受和同伴拒绝方面的相互作用。数据来自TRAILS的同行提名子样本，这是一个基于大量人口的青春期男孩和女孩样本（N = 3312）。多水平回归分析结果表明，受欢迎青少年恃强凌弱对同伴接受的负面影响和对同伴拒绝的积极影响被显著削弱。这些结果从不同的角度看待了之前在人-群体差异研究中发现的阶级规范效应，表明受欢迎的青少年的欺凌行为与欺凌行为所附带的社会地位有关。
This study examined to what extent bullying behavior of popular adolescents is responsible for whether bullying is more or less likely to be accepted or rejected by peers (popularity-norm effect) rather than the behavior of all peers (class norm). Specifically, the mean level of bullying by the whole class (class norm) was split into behavior of popular adolescents (popularity-norm) and behavior of non-popular adolescents (non-popularity-norm), and examined in its interaction with individual bullying on peer acceptance and peer rejection. The data stem from a peer-nominations subsample of TRAILS, a large population-based sample of adolescent boys and girls (N = 3312). The findings of multilevel regression analyses demonstrated that the negative impact of individual bullying on peer acceptance and the positive impact on peer rejection were particularly weakened by bullying by popular adolescents. These results place the class-norm effects found in previous person-group dissimilarity studies in a different light, suggesting that particularly bullying by popular adolescents is related to the social status attached to bullying.
