In the current study, the correspondence between teacher and peer nomination methods for the identification of preference and popularity was examined. Participants were 733 children in grade 5/6 (M age = 12.05 years, SD = .64; 53.3 percent boys) and their 29 teachers. Participants were recruited for the sixth measurement wave of the Nijmegen Longitudinal Study (NLS) on Infant and Child Development in The Netherlands. Children and teachers completed nomination questions for preference, popularity, and 12 social behaviors.
