Abstract
Positive and negative sociometric choices were obtained from three groups of nursery school children using a picture board method of presentation. Test-retest reliability was moderate. Age and sex were not related to popularity in these groups. There was a tendency for children of both sexes to give their positive choices to same-sex peers and their negative choices to opposite-sex peers. When data from the three groups were combined, both nurturance-giving and dependence on children were positively related to sociometric status. Dependence on adults was not related to sociometric status in two of the three groups, but yielded a significant negative correlation in the youngest nursery school group.
