Obtained peer nominations, teacher reports, and self-reports for 423 sixth and
seventh graders. Compared to sociometrically average status students, neglected
students reported higher levels of motivation and were described by teachers as
being more self-regulated, more prosocial, and better liked. Aggressive-rejected,
but not submissive-rejected, children had
problematic academic profiles. (BC)
