Visibility and Vulnerability: Responses to Rejection by Nonaggressive Junior High School Boys.
Merten, Don E.
Journal of Early Adolescence, v16 n1 p5-26 Feb 1996
Examined responses to rejection by four rejected junior high school boys in seventh and eighth grades through interviews and observations. Found high categorical stability for those who were rejected; most were unable to alter their status. Reported on one student who managed to change status through extraordinary responses, by negating the identity imposed on him by his peers. (DR)
