The relationship–interpersonal correlations demonstrated considerable reciprocity in likeability
and popularity ratings. For liking, the significant intrapersonal correlations showed that when a child
liked a classmate, this classmate gave a higher likeability rating in return both concurrently and over
time. If a child rated a classmate as more popular at Time 1, the child also received a higher popularity
rating in return. Yet, this correlation was weak and no longer existed at Time 2. Finally, if a child liked
a classmate at Time 1, the child was also perceived as popular in return, both concurrently and over
time. If a child perceived a classmate as popular at Time 1, then the child was liked by that classmate
in return both concurrently and over time.
