Abstract
During a study of three natural groups of teenaged boys, it was discovered that one of the groups was under stress because of the death of one of their members. The three groups participated in three sociogramming situations: (1) a disguised questionnaire administered a month prior to the occurrence of stress and (2) a disguised sociogame occurring a few hours after the stressful incident, followed by (3) a direct questionnaire regarding status rankings within each group. The sociogame, a highly unobtrusive measure of status rank, revealed for the stressed group the influence of each member's participation in the situation leading to the death. The direct questionnaire reflected the long term status hierarchy. The non-stressed groups did not reflect any differences across the three methods.
