“…Although the literature was replete with studies proving the predictability of low peer status for later problems, especially delinquent or criminal behavior and emotional problems, based on observations by adults or sociometric choices by peers (Cowen et al, 1973;Kupersmidt & Coie, 1990;Parker & Asher, 1987;Roff & Wirt, 1984b), this study did not corroborate those findings with self-perceived unpopularity. Also, there was no significant link between academic performance and early self-perceived unpopularity.…”

“…Other poor outcomes in later life found to be associated with earlier unpopularity were poor academic achievement (Chance, 1989;Parker & Asher, 1987;Roff & Wirt, 1984b), psychosis (Fleming & Ricks, 1970;Roff, 1963), neurosis (Robins, 1966), and criminal behavior (Chance, 1989;Parker & Asher, 1987;Roff et al, 1972).…”

Self-perceptions of unpopularity in 404 high school students were found to reflect current emotional and behavioral distress. The authors studied these youths from ages 9 to 15 to examine early risks and current factors associated with perceptions of unpopularity. Feelings of unpopularity in middle childhood increased the risk of similar feelings in adolescence. However, self-reports of unpopularity at age 9 were not strong predictors of emotional and anti-social problems at age 15. Identification of unpopular adolescents and recommendations for future practice and research are proposed.

“…Longitudinal studies have also pointed to the importance of peer status for later depressive symptoms (Boivin et al 1995a;Nolan et al 2003;Vernberg 1990) and anxiety disorders (Bell-Dolan et al 1995;Strauss et al 1988) in children and adolescents. There is much less evidence regarding effects at later ages, but at least two studies have used register data to follow children up into young adulthood (Cowen et al 1973;Roff and Wirt 1984). Both studies found that children with low peer ratings were at increased risk of mental health problems ten or more years later.…”

This study examined the extent to which sixth grade peer status could predict anxiety and/or depression in 5,242 women and 5,004 men who were born in 1953 and whose hospital records were followed up from 1973-2003. The data used was the Stockholm Birth Cohort Study. While no association could be established for men, results indicated that women who held low peer status positions in childhood were at a considerably higher risk of anxiety and/or depression later in life compared to women in average status positions. Women who held popular positions during childhood did not differ significantly from their average counterparts. These findings persisted after adjusting for family- and child-related problem-load, perceived security at school, family constellation, socioeconomic status as well as the child's cognitive ability, ninth grade school marks and continuance to upper secondary school.

“…Les questions mises en jeu dans les amitiés à l'adolescence ont un impact sur la santé mentale. Quelques recherches (RoIf, 1976 ;Roff et Wirt, 1984) ont pu démon-trer que l'absence d'amitié à l'adolescence constituait un prédicteur d'ajustement personnel problématique à l'âge adulte et que l'absence de liens d'intimité avec les pairs avait une incidence sur la santé mentale. Des recherches rétrospectives sur la schizophrénie ont également fait ressortir que l'absence d'amitié à l'adolescence devait être considérée comme un élé-ment majeur dans l'étiologie de cette maladie mentale (Riesman, 1984).…”
