Social Intelligence and Academic Achievement as Predictors of Adolescent Popularity
Open accessAbstract
This study compared the effects of social intelligence and cognitive intelligence, as measured by academic achievement, on adolescent popularity in two school contexts. A distinction was made between sociometric popularity, a measure of acceptance, and perceived popularity, a measure of social dominance. Participants were 512, 14-15 year-old adolescents (56% girls, 44% boys) in vocational and college preparatory schools in Northwestern Europe. Perceived popularity was significantly related to social intelligence, but not to academic achievement, in both contexts. Sociometric popularity was predicted by an interaction between academic achievement and social intelligence, further qualified by school context. Whereas college bound students gained sociometric popularity by excelling both socially and academically, vocational students benefited from doing well either socially or academically, but not in combination. The implications of these findings were discussed.

“Therefore, it is only natural that a number of studies have consistently confirmed correlations between the social intelligence of children and their sociometric peer status (Lease, Kennedy, Axelrod, 2002; Meijs et al., 2010).”

In the citing paper
“according to some authors the effect of the latter on peer status depends on the norms of the group. Academic achievement leads to higher status only if it is prioritized in the classroom, but where other skills are prioritized, it may not lead to high social status (Meijs et al., 2010).”

“For example, it is possible that social intelligence skills, such as the ability to accurately read a peer’s emotions and respond appropriately and empathically, are strongly related to liking and acceptance (cf. Lopes et al. 2004) but not to dominance.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
