Abstract
The purpose of the study was to describe the relationship between mothers' knowledge of their children's friendship preferences and their children's achievement of social status. Sociometric nominations for 52 girls and 50 boys in Grades 2 and 3 were used to determine children's social status and 57 mothers were interviewed for their “sociometric awareness” of their children's social status among peers. Both children's and maternal sociometric awareness were correlated positively with social acceptance and negatively with social rejection by peers. Mothers of “rejected” children were less aware of the positive friendship preferences of their children than mothers of children of more favored status.
