Zusammenfassung
The present study attempts to elaborate a category system of the reasons children give to justify their preferences and rejections. Using the answers given in a sociometric questionnaire consisting on positive and negative nominations by 430 pupils, in the fifth and sixth years of Primary Education, from 21 classes, in state schools in Valladolid, Palma de Mallorca, and Castellón de la Plana (Spain), a system was established with nine acceptance and fifteen rejection categories. The main reasons for choosing a friend include: friendliness, fun, and joint satisfaction, together with the presence of relevant characteristics for a friendship relation (trust, loyalty, support, help�). The main reasons for rejection are: aggressive behaviour, especially psychological aggression (dominance and superiority -basically arrogance), as well as physical, verbal and gestural aggression. Those whose behaviour reveals immaturity and lack of care also tend to be rejected, as do those who overwhelm and/or annoy others. This taxonomy of acceptance and rejection could be the basis for developing social skill programmes.
