Popularity is a consuming passion for adolescent girls and its characteristics are an area of intensive research interest. In the current study, we used Q sort methodology and focus group interviews to ascertain the constructions of popularity among 40 teenage girls from two schools of diverse socio-economic background. Q factor analysis revealed two perspectives - one concerned with physical and fashionable appearance ("Barbie doll" popularity) across both schools, and the other concerned with anti-social activities ("druggy" popularity), according to some girls at the low income school. The findings illustrate the importance of social context in informing girls" understandings of popularity. The study highlights the value of Q methodology in the investigation of this area of human subjectivity.
