本研究以我國國中276名男生及287名女生爲對象，利用複廻歸等方法，探討親和傾向與社交地位的關係。結果發現：(1)男生方面，親和傾向與社交地位有正的直線關係；女生方面，兩變項無直線或二次曲線關係。(2)無論男生或女生，高親和傾向者與人接觸的機會多於低親和傾向者。(3)男生方面，親和傾向愈高，愈被認爲是班上最受歡迎的人物；女生方面則無直線或二次曲線關係。(4)無論男生或女生，親和傾向愈高，愈自認爲受歡迎，在諸個人特質上的自我評價也較高。不過在女生方面，用二次曲線可以解釋較多自我評價的變異。(5)無論男生或女生，親和傾向愈高，寂寞感也愈高。(6)親和傾向的相似無助於人際吸引。(7)男生方面，拒絕敏感性與社交地位有正的直線關係；女生方面則無直線或二次曲線關係。(8)無論男生或女生，親和傾向與拒絕敏感性之交互作用對社交地位均無預測力。本研究結果暗示影響國中學生社交地位的人格因素，可能男女有别。

Two hundred seventy six boys and 287 girls were drawn from two junior high schools in Taipei, in order to study the relationships between affiliation tendency and sociometric status. It was found that: (1)Affiliation tendency was positively and linearly related to sociometric status for boys but not for girls. (2)For both boys and girls, high affiliators had more contacts with peers than low affiliators. (3)Affiliation tendecy was positively and linearly related to perceived sociometric status for boys but not for girls. (4)For both boys and girls, affiliation tendency was linearly related to self-perceived sociometric status and self-evaluation. But for girls, quadratic regression equation could explain more variance of self-evaluation. (5)Affiliation tendency was positively and linearly related to sense of lonliness for both boys and girls. (6)Similarity in affiliation tendency made no significant contribution to the variance of attraction for both boys and girls. (7)Sensitivity to rejection was positively and linearly related to sociometric status for boys but not for girls. (8)For both boys and girls, the interaction between affiliation tendency and sensitivity to rejection had no effect on sociometric status. The findings implied that the personality variables had differential effects upon junior high school boys and girls.
