Abstract
The relationship between sociometric status and behavior ratings was investigated in a sample of 78 boys in residential treatment. The subjects were classified into sociometric groups based on peer nominations. The Devereaux Child Behavior Rating Scale scores (completed by their child-care workers) of these groups were then compared. Boys of rejected status were rated as having significantly more behavioral problems than boys in the other sociometric groups. It is suggested that rejected boys in residential treatment may constitute a subgroup especially meriting remedial intervention.
