Abstract
this study addresses admiration among adolescents as a way to make status operational and evaluates the possible function of this social behavior. the hypothesis that guide the study is that, as aggressiveness and pro-sociality are valued features as they are linked to status, the admired adolescents, who are able to influence their peers, are those with such a profile. 274 pupils of 5th and 6th grades participated in the survey. the results reveal that the most common feature among admired adolescents is pro-sociality, followed by social prominence.
