“…Indeed, in some studies the preference-popularity association was somewhat stronger in Chinese samples (Niu et al, 2016;Owens, Feng, & Xi, 2014;Tseng, Banny, Kawabata, Crick, & Gau, 2013) than in western samples, yet the number of studies examining cultural diferences in social status is limited (Chen et al, 2018). At the same time, indings are contradictory as in other studies the preference-popularity association among Chinese children was very comparable to studies conducted in Western societies (French, Niu, & Purwono, 2016;Schwartz et al, 2010).…”

Introduction: A systematic meta-analysis was conducted of the association between preference and popularity across childhood and adolescence. The role of development, sex, and region of the world were examined. Method: The analysis was conducted on 135 samples including 136,014 participants. The samples were divided by age (upper grades primary school, k = 41; lower grades secondary school, k = 72; upper grades secondary school, k = 22) and region (North America, k = 54; Europe, k = 66; China, k = 10).Results: Across all samples, a moderate positive association between preference and popularity was found (r = 0.45). The association was signiicantly weaker in the upper grades of secondary school (r = 0.37) than in the lower grades of secondary school (r = 0.47) or the upper grades of primary school (r = 0.47). The association was weaker for girls (r = 0.26) than for boys (r = 0.38) in the upper grades of secondary school. The association was weaker in European samples (r = 0.41) than in those from North America (r = 0.50) and China (r = 0.57). Conclusions: The results conirmed that preference and popularity are related but distinct dimensions of adolescent peer status. The association difered signiicantly by age, sex, and region of the world. Further research should examine additional factors that explain the variability in the association between preference and popularity.

“…We chose these two characteristics because they have been identified as central for all three types of social status (e.g., de Bruyn & Cillessen, 2006; Graham et al, 1998; LaFontana & Cillessen, 2002; Parkhurst & Hopmeyer, 1998; Véronneau & Dishion, 2011). However, youth’s social status, particularly perceived popularity, is associated with other characteristics, such as appearance, sociability, and athletic ability (e.g., French, Niu, & Purwono, 2015; LaFontana & Cillessen, 2002; Niu et al, 2015). We also did not examine other types of social status—for example, we did not assess rejection (e.g., nominations of peers whom youth like the least), which would have allowed us to identify youth at the low end of the social status continuum.…”

High social status youth are often influential in the peer system. Thus, they may serve as agents of cultural socialization if they exhibit characteristics that reflect cultural values (e.g., interdependence). This research examined the behavior that contributes to high social status in the United States and China. At each of 3 waves, 934 early adolescents (M = 12.7 years at Wave 1) made behavioral (i.e., prosocial behavior and academic engagement) and social status (i.e., likability, perceived popularity, and admiration) nominations of their peers. Positive behavior was predictive of higher social status in both the United States and China, but this was stronger in China. In the United States, there was a tendency for positive behavior to be less predictive of perceived popularity than other forms of social status (e.g., likability); however, this tendency was not evident in China.

“…It is likely that the optimal balance between coercive and prosocial behavior is subject to cultural rules (Bond, 2004). The findings of French et al (2011) suggest that high status Chinese children differ from their North American counterparts by relying on prosocial rather than direct assertive behavior when presented with a limited resource.…”

This study examined the characteristics associated with popularity and social preference in 769 14-year-old adolescents (54 percent boys) from mainland China. Consistent with findings from other countries, popularity and social preference were moderately correlated and overt aggression was positively correlated with popularity but negatively correlated with social preference. Prosocial behavior, athletic skill, dating, academic achievement, and mutual friends were positively associated with both popularity and social preference, with the effects for prosocial behavior, athletic skill, and dating greater for popularity than for social preference. The strong correlations between popularity and prosocial behavior are consistent with Confucian ideas of moral leadership and the obligations of high status individuals toward others. Cultural values are also reflected in the association of popularity with academic achievement. The inconsistent findings from China regarding the relation between aggression and popularity may stem from multiple factors including the absence of a suitable Chinese translation for popularity.
