A biopic of controversy - courting pioneers of gangster rap N.W.A., Straight Outta Compton charts the explosive
trajectory of a group of friends from the streets of Los Angeles to megastardom.
Assessments
of individual (social withdrawal), interactive (prosocial behavior), relationship (friendship involvement, stability and quality, best
friend's withdrawal and exclusion / victimization) and
group -(exclusion / victimization) level characteristics were used to define growth
trajectories from the final year
of elementary school, across the transition to middle school, and then to the final year
of middle school (fifth - to - eighth grades).
