Now, we would like to ask you some questions about your peers.

B2. People often hang out in different groups at school. For example, a lot of schools have a group of “jocks.” Some students gave the following list of groups. Please indicate how much you identify with each group by dragging the bar across the screen. Dragging the bar to 100 means you identify with (or, in other words, fit in or hang out with) this group very much and dragging the bar to 0 means you do not identify with this group at all.
