Popularity among peers might be related to behavior in gradual or non‐gradual ways. In this research, a popularity subgroups approach was used to examine whether some behaviors were associated with only specific levels of popularity. Moreover, observational data in popularity research is valuable yet scarce. This research, therefore, also examined the association between popularity and observed behavior in a cooperative and competitive setting. In total, 182 early adolescents (58.2% girls, M_age = 10.7 years) completed peer nominations and were observed during a cooperative and a competitive task in groups of four. Results show that affective ties increased gradually with increasing popularity, but that relational aggression, bullying and attention‐attracting qualities distinguished popular adolescents from other early adolescents, and victimization distinguished unpopular adolescents from the other early adolescents. Observations showed that high popularity was defined by high levels of negative behavior, prosocial resource control, skillful leadership, and influence, with the effect of popularity on influence being stronger in the cooperative than the competitive setting. Using multiple methods, and taking context into account, a more complete behavioral profile of different levels of popularity is provided.

在合作和竞争的背景下，（非）渐渐的流行与同伴提名和观察到的行为

同伴之间的受欢迎程度可能与渐进或不渐进方式的行为有关。在这项研究中，使用流行度子组方法来检查某些行为是否仅与特定程度的流行度相关。此外，流行性研究中的观测数据是有价值的，但缺乏。因此，这项研究还研究了在合作和竞争环境中受欢迎程度与观察到的行为之间的关联。总共182名早期青少年（58.2％的女生，中号_年龄 = 10.7年）完成了同行提名，并在四人一组的合作和竞争任务中得到遵守。结果表明，情感联系随着受欢迎程度的增加而逐渐增加，但是关系攻击性，欺凌和吸引注意力的特质将受欢迎的青少年与其他早期的青少年区分开，而受害则使不受欢迎的青少年与其他早期的青少年区分开。观察表明，高知名度是由高水平的负面行为，亲社会资源控制，熟练的领导才能和影响力所决定的，在合作社中，人气对影响力的影响要强于竞争环境。使用多种方法，并考虑到上下文，提供了不同受欢迎程度的更完整的行为概况。
