Draw a sociogram that represents the following peer interaction patterns typically seen in middle childhood: (some of these may overlap)
o Reciprocal friendships
o Same-sex peer networks
o Cross-sex peer networks
o Each of the four peer statuses
o A crowd
Make sure to clearly label and identify all of these clearly in your drawing.
What will be an ideal response?
The diagram might resemble the one in Figure 10.1. There should be several children connected by two-headed arrows to represent the reciprocal friendships. There should be a group that includes 5-6 girls only or boys only to represent the same-sex peer network. There should be a group of 5-6 children of different sexes to represent the cross-sex peer network. A child connected with many others is popular, a child with no connections could be identified as either rejected or neglected and a child connected to a few other children could be controversial. A larger group that is identified with a label such as "jocks," or "trendies," is the crowd. Remember that many members that make up one peer group may be used to demonstrate another (e.g., some of the boys from the same-sex peer network could be used to make us the cross-sex peer network).
