Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the self-perceived status of students ( N = 48) rated by their teachers as high and low in aggressive behavior on an 8-item modified version of the Devereaux School Behavior Rating Scale. In Grades 2, 3, and 4, 4 boys and 4 girls rated low in aggression and 4 boys and 4 girls rated high in aggression by their teachers were randomly selected. A significant interaction of grade by aggression indicated differences in perceived status depending on grade and teachers' ratings of aggression. Students in Grades 2 and 3 who were rated high in aggression perceived themselves as more popular, but those in Grades 4 and 5 so rated perceived themselves as less popular.
