| Summary: | The aims of the study were to find out traits of popular children and the effects of popular pro-social children on peers and school environment. This study also tried to find out gender differences on popular children in pro-social behaviour. Mixed methods were used in the present study which had two phases, first quantitative method and second qualitative method. Peer matrix of peer nomination was used as method of data collection in quantitative, meanwhile interviews and observation were used in qualitative method. The results revealed that 5 popular children obtained from peer matrix of peer nomination were liked most by peers. Moreover, these five popular children were known because they had traits that made them different from others. Peers viewed them based on positive traits and positive social interaction, physical interaction, the quality of relationship, and social dominance. On the other hand, homeroom teachers viewed them in term of social competence and sociability. In addition, the results indicated that popular children gave effects on peers and school environment. Popular children influenced their peers and school environment in pro-social behaviour, leadership, and academic achievement. Meanwhile, besides in academic achievement homeroom teachers also agreed on the effects of popular children in pro-social behaviour. Moreover, observational results showed that popular girls were more active in pro-social behaviour than popular boys. However, popular boys showed a significant percentage in term of offering help. |
