Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sociometric techniques are based on ratings by peers, meaning individuals rate their peers or colleagues on certain dimensions such as popularity, likeability, leadership ability, etc. These ratings can then be used to make observations and assessments about the group and the individuals within it. Ratings by teachers or parents would be more accurately described as evaluations or assessments rather than sociometric ratings. Self-rating could potentially be a component of sociometric techniques, but it would not be the primary source of data.
