Aggressive and nonaggressive rejected students : An analysis of their differences (2006, background): “As Gest, Graham-Bermann, and Hartup (2001) recently reported, almost 40% of rejected students have a best friend, which could explain why rejected students do not necessarily report lower levels of perceived social support.”
Social exclusion decreases prosocial behavior. (2007, background): “Numerous correlational studies have found that children who are rejected by their peers act less prosocially than do others (e.g., Asher & Coie, 1990; Gest, Graham-Bermann, & Hartup, 2001; Wentzel & McNamara, 1999).”
Popularity in Early Adolescence: Prosocial and Antisocial Subtypes (2006, background): “Gest, Graham-Bermann, and Hartup (2001) named four dimensions of social centrality and status: peer-perceived social position, sociability-leadership, aggression-disruptiveness, and sensitivity-isolation.”
Loneliness, friendship quality and the social networks of adolescents with high‐functioning autism in an inclusive school setting (2010, background): “Results indicate that adolescents with autism experienced significantly more loneliness than their TD classmates, had significantly poorer friendship quality in companionship and helpfulness, and had significantly lower social network status than their TD classmates.”
Childhood Peer Relationships: Social Acceptance, Friendships, and Peer Networks.

Does being friendly help in making friends? The relation between the social position and social skills of pupils with special needs in mainstream education (2007, background): “The three indexes for social position can refer theoretically to different concepts (Gest et al., 2001) and each therefore was used in the social skills analyses.”
The allure of a mean friend: Relationship quality and processes of aggressive adolescents with prosocial skills (2007, background): “This finding is consistent with work that shows youths are attracted to those who are similar on some dimensions (e.g., homophily; Gest et al., 2001) as well as work that suggests some youth cliques are higher status than others and are accordingly exclusive (Adler & Adler, 1996; Eder, 1985;…”
