Peer relationahip was approved to be a good predictor to adjustment in both their childhood and adulthood. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relations between children’s social traits from multiple sources and social status. 666 students were administered sociometric measure and self-reported ” Survey for School Social Life”(SSSL in short) in their classes. Subjects were ranged from grade 4 in elementary school through grade 8 in junior high. The reasons for both positive and negative nominations in sociometry were collected and categorized into nine social-related traits. They were positive (PC) and negative (NC) competence, positive (PI) and negative (NI) interacting behaviors, positive (PS) and negative (NS) self-related characteristics, positive (PA) and negative (NA) appearance, and misbehavior (MS). Three subscales of the SSSL provided self-reported traits of social skills(SS), social relations (SR), and social anxiety (SA). The major findings of this study were summarized as following: (a)the numbers of students in five different social status didn’t varied significantly with grade or gender, but interaction effect were found between grade and gender in self-reported SS and SR and peer-nominated NS and PA, the only gender effect was found in NI; (b) self-reported traits failed to discriminate five social status, but nine peer-nominated traits did significantly; (c)nine peer-nominated traits were significantly correlated with social impact and social preference; (d) predictors to social impact and social preference differed from various social status and grades. Five social status were portrayed briefly based on the findings. The recommendations were made for peer-relationship counseling and further studies.
