Abstract

The relationship between peers is one of the most critical challenges of modern childhood. Research has shown the social status of a child in a group of peers influences not only his/her current well-being but his/her future psychological and physiological health condition. This article is devoted to the overview of foreign studies on social status of children and its correlation with different psychological, social-cognitive and behavioral characteristics of children with special attention to rejected and neglected children. Despite the popularity of the reviewed subject and vast amount of research on it, some correlations still need additional research.
