Thanks everybody, for taking your time to learn about the psychology of popularity.

It has been really fun to tell you about just a little bit of the research that

our lab has been doing, and so many people has been doing in this area.

Hopefully, you have taken away the sense that popularity

is something that is in our genes.

It's in our culture.

It's something inescapable.

Not only are we experiencing it in childhood and adolescence, but

it is having effects on us for the rest of our life.

But I hope that you've now learned that there are very different forms of

popularity, and some of those forms are worth paying attention to.

Being likable is important.

It's something that affects our health.

It's something that will make us happier within our work environments,

within our relationships.

But being cool and popular is not maybe as important.

And some of use might still be hanging on to those feelings that we had in high

school about being cool and popular or maybe not being cool and popular.

But that actually is something that ironically, caring too much about that and

feeling like that form of popularity is important,

actually might be the wrong thing to care about in adulthood.

So hopefully this has been useful to you and

you've enjoyed watching these videos as much as I've enjoyed making them.

If you're interested in popularity and learning more about

research as it's coming out, please feel free to visit our Facebook group.

We will be continuing to post information and latest articles and findings,

not just from our lab, but from labs all around the world on popularity and

peer relations, so please feel free to join us there.

And if you haven't done so already,

please be part of our global study on popularity at projectpopularity.org.

We really would appreciate your help on that as we continue to do

research in this area, your opinions matter.

It might just be part of the next research study that's out there on this topic.

So good luck to everybody.

Thanks for joining.

It's been really fun.

Take care.
