Social Groups & Cliques

Our experts analyze the social groups formed at school and help to understand how each child plays a social role in school environment. "Everyone who goes to school knows the level of school social status, it is very painful to think that our own kids are ranked to a certain extent by the group, but that will happen, but these You should not use the group of Dr. Michael Thompson suggested that you compare or change your child's measurements to be more popular. "

The following subgroups are based on research organized by Dr. Michael Thompson. And Dr. Lauren Schon originally reported in "Fellow relationships of children: meta-analytic comments on prevalence, rejection, ignorance, controversy, and average social measurement situation".

Popular kids are usually "alpha male" and "queen bee" and may be more sporty, chatty, attractive, or simply regulated than others. These children usually have social skills to appeal to others, make the children happy, and are seen as group leaders. As a child grows older, sexual intercourse also becomes a factor for children's popularity or calm.

Most children belong to this group. They are not "leaders", but they are considered popular. Children who are accepted are usually intelligent and go out and it is unlikely that they are too overly extreme or destructive at school.

Some children are truly being ignored by their colleagues. These children are often quiet and excellent students, but they are not socially active. Teachers are improving at school so we have nothing to worry about. Although these children take a long time to make friends, the research shows that they generally have friends in junior high school, but they need parents and teacher's attention.

Whether you like it or not, these children are often clowns in the class; poor children, habits of jealousy (excessive nose picks, etc.), bullying, bullying, bullying, bullying, and betrayal against teachers

The highest social risk is 'children who have been rejected'. There are two types: children refusing to obey, they sad and retreat to avoid refusing unpleasant children pulling attention, and if they are overly ridiculous they are emotional It may become explosive to. "These children are not necessarily violent children, but they often lose control, overdo it at school, and will reach the principal's office," Dr. Michael Thompson said.

Factions are a group of friends, but not all groups of friends are factions. To make a group a group (KLIK) is to intentionally bring some children. The group they form does not let other children belong to them. Sometimes the children of the group are sneaky for the children who think they are outside. Normally, one or two popular children control and exclude who goes into the group and are excluded. Children may form small groups at primary school and junior high school. Factions are made of children who are interested in something, such as sports, computer games, music. Sometimes I want children in them to want popularity. If your mother or father can not afford to buy the same, they may make you feel bad.

Youth factions are developmental in adolescence. In social science, the term "creek" is used to denote a group of 2 to 12 people (average 5 or 6 people) "interact more frequently and stronger than others in the same environment" . The difference between factions and "crowds" is that their members interact with each other (for example, go out to play, go shopping, play basketball). On the other hand, the crowd is defined by reputation. The term "Creek" or "Creeky" is often used in everyday conversations to represent social dominant women's relationship attacks and satirical and stupid behavior, but this is scientifically accurate There is none. Regardless of gender, race, popularity, exchanges with factions is part of regulating social development. It is the group that is most studied in adolescence and middle age, but it exists in all ages.

Factions are usually small groups defined by common interests or friendships. Factions usually have 2 to 12 members, many of them are age, sex, ethnicity, social class. Group members are usually the same in terms of academic and risk behavior. Factions can serve as the subject of socialization and social control. Being a member of the group may be beneficial as it can bring about self-government awareness, a safe social environment, and overall happiness. The research of "adolescence peer group and social identity" announced at the Journal of Social Development in 2002 was supported and at the same time the peer group became an important part of socialization. Unlike other social factors such as family and school, the peer group allows children to escape direct supervision of adults.
