Abstract
This study investigated factors involved in improving social acceptance of unpopular, low achieving students. A 5 week treatment was used in which low acceptance students worked with popular peers making a movie to present to the class. Variations in this treatment were designed to isolate variables involved in improvement of social acceptance. Treatments produced significant immediate gains in social acceptance; however, the gains did not endure over a 6 week followup period. No differentiation was possible among factors involved in improving social acceptance.Keywords
