Abstract

Two studies are used to evaluate children's ability to rank their peers' academic achievement, their own achievement, and to see how these rankings relate to children's academic self-concept. Analysis shows that elementary-school aged children can accurately rank the achievement of their peers and themselves. Also peers' rankings for academic achievement interact significantly with children's academic self-concepts. Self-rankings and actual achievement do not. The results are discussed in terms of the importance of considering peers when evaluating a child.
