Status and Negative Ties: A Longitudinal Network Study among Adolescents = Státusz és negatív kapcsolatok: Egy longitudinális hálózatelemzés középiskolások körében

Abstract

The PhD thesis examines how the negative, "dark side" of interpersonal relations and status positions interrelate among secondary school students in Hungary. Consequently, the thesis has two important goals. The first, the scientific aim is to measure and empirically analyze the interrelated dynamics of the negative relationships and the status positions of adolescents in secondary schools, using a Hungarian longitudinal dataset. The second, the practical aim of the project is to offer insights and incentives for policy makers, school psychologists and teachers in Hungary.
