The study was aimed to identify the main social goals of adolescents in peer interactions, the sex differences of these goals, and their relationships with sociometric variables: popularity and reputation among peers. 335 early adolescents filled out a questionnaire measuring their social goals, popularity and reputation. Relying on an exploratory factor analysis, three social goals scales were constructed: agency, communion, and betrayal. Agency and betrayal were higher for boys, communion was higher for girls. Popularity, aggressive reputation and isolated reputation varied according to the level of these social goals.
