Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sociometric popularity is based on the number and quality of relationships a person has with their peers, while perceived popularity is based on the extent to which a person is seen as popular or likeable by others. Research has shown that those who are sociometrically popular tend to engage in more prosocial behaviors, such as sharing, helping, and cooperating with others, compared to those who are perceived as popular but may not have as many genuine relationships. Options B and D are incorrect as there is no indication that popularity is connected to wealth or snobbish behavior. Option C is not supported by current research, which suggests that sociometrically popular individuals show more prosocial behaviors.
