Two studies examined concurrent and longitudinal associations between adolescents' aggression, victimization, and high status. Findings indicated that both provocateurs and targets of reputational aggression had high levels of peer-perceived popularity. Proactive aggression was also associated with high popularity, while reactive aggression was associated with low social preference. High peer-perceived popularity and low social preference predicted all forms of aggression over a 17-month interval. (Author/KB)
