Resumen

La popularidad es clave para comprender los procesos de influencia entre iguales durante la adolescencia. Los individuos populares son visibles socialmente, su conducta es imitada y ocupan posiciones centrales dentro del sistema de pares. La literatura diferencia entre popularidad sociométrica (individuos que agradan y desarrollan conductas prosociales) y popularidad percibida (individuos reputados y que desarrollan conductas disruptivas). El objetivo del estudio es identificar los determinantes relacionales de la popularidad percibida en una muestra de estudiantes mexicanos de educación secundaria, incluyendo el efecto de la edad media de las clases a las que están asignados los participantes.


Los participantes son 407 estudiantes (n= 273 mujeres; 67.1%) con edades comprendidas entre 14 y 22 años (M= 15.55; DT= .99). Se emplearon técnicas de análisis de redes y análisis multinivel.


Los resultados muestran que la edad media de la clase es un factor explicativo de la variabilidad de la dependiente y el análisis de los parámetros de efectos fijos del modelo multinivel indica que ser central en la red de vínculos positivos es el predictor relacional que mejor explica la popularidad percibida (γ02= .65; t= 16.820; p < .00001; IC95%: .58 – .73).


La popularidad percibida es un fenómeno complejo y dual en el que se solapan rasgos de la popularidad percibida y sociométrica. Comprender los factores que determinan la popularidad percibida es crucial para garantizar el ajuste psicosocial de los jóvenes en contextos educativos.
