Abstract

248 fifth to tenth grade students completed peer- and self-report measures of peer acceptance, friendship quality, self-worth, depression, anxiety, inattention/ hyperactivity, and aggression. Both group- and dyadic-level peer relations measures predicted psychopathological characteristics and self-worth, with most effects similar across grade and gender.
