Abstract

Longitudinal associations between popularity, peer acceptance, and academic performance were examined in Chinese 7th ( n = 880; 400 girls; M age = 13.33, SD = .64) and 10th grade ( n = 646; 342 girls; M age = 16.76, SD = .75) adolescents across three academic years. Growth curve analysis revealed parallel changes in popularity and academic performance in both middle- and high-school students whereas a positive association between the trajectories of peer acceptance and academic performance was found only in high school. Random-intercept cross-lagged panel analysis revealed that popular students increased their academic performance 1 year later, and that improved academic performance positively predicted subsequent popularity. Changes in peer acceptance were not associated with longitudinal changes in academic performance nor did baseline aggression moderate the effect of initial popularity on the trajectory of academic performance. The positive between-person associations of academic performance with popularity and peer acceptance were greater in middle- than in high-school adolescents. These results have implications for understanding the positive and negative effects of peer status on academic adjustment.

青少年受欢迎程度、同伴接受程度和学习成绩之间的纵向联系

受欢迎程度、同伴接受程度和学习成绩之间的纵向关联在中国第七(n = 880;400个女孩;M年龄= 13.33,SD = 0.64)和10年级(n = 646;342个女孩;M年龄= 16.76,SD = 0.75)。增长曲线分析显示，初中生和高中生的受欢迎程度和学业成绩的变化是平行的，而同伴接受度和学业成绩的轨迹之间的正相关关系仅在高中生中被发现。随机截距交叉滞后面板分析显示，受欢迎的学生在一年后的学习成绩有所提高，而学习成绩的提高积极地预测了随后的受欢迎程度。同伴接受度的变化与学业成绩的纵向变化无关，基线攻击也不会缓和最初受欢迎程度对学业成绩轨迹的影响。学业成绩与受欢迎程度和同伴接受度之间的人际正相关在初中生中比在高中生中更大。这些结果对理解同伴地位对学业适应的积极和消极影响具有启示意义。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Behavioral Development is the official journal of the International Society for the Study of Behavioural Development, which exists to promote the discovery, dissemination and application of knowledge about developmental processes at all stages of the life span - infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age. The Journal is already the leading international outlet devoted to reporting interdisciplinary research on behavioural development, and has now, in response to the rapidly developing fields of behavioural genetics, neuroscience and developmental psychopathology, expanded its scope to these and other related new domains of scholarship. In this way, it provides a truly world-wide platform for researchers which can facilitate a greater integrated lifespan perspective. In addition to original empirical research, the Journal also publishes theoretical and review papers, methodological papers, and other work of scientific interest that represents a significant advance in the understanding of any aspect of behavioural development. The Journal also publishes papers on behaviour development research within or across particular geographical regions. Papers are therefore considered from a wide range of disciplines, covering all aspects of the lifespan. Articles on topics of eminent current interest, such as research on the later life phases, biological processes in behaviour development, cross-national, and cross-cultural issues, and interdisciplinary research in general, are particularly welcome.
