Popularity
Popularity is a complex social phenomenon with no agreed upon definition. It can be defined in terms of liking, attraction, dominance, superiority, etc. Sometimes a popular item may be referred to as ''in vogue''.〔(Adj. 1. in vogue - in the current fashion or style ). thefreedictionary.com. Retrieved 18 July 2013.〕 Through peer influence, target objects can quickly skyrocket in how pervasive they are in society and because popularity is judged in a social context, the more pervasive it is, the more popular it might be considered. With respect to interpersonal popularity, there are two primary divisions: perceived and sociometric. To be popular, you must be good-looking, well-liked, fashionable, and all-together positive and kind-hearted to others.
== Introduction ==
The term ''Popularity'' is borrowed from the Latin term ''popularis'', which originally meant "common" or "being well-liked". The current definition of the word popular, the "fact or condition of being well liked by the people", was first seen in 1601.〔(Etymology Online entry for Popular ), 5 April 2009.〕
While popularity is a trait often ascribed to an individual, it is an inherently social phenomenon and thus can only be understood in the context of groups of people. Popularity is a collective perception, and individuals report the consensus of a group’s feelings towards an individual or object when rating popularity. It takes a group of people to like something, so the more that people advocate for something or claim that someone is best liked, the more attention it will get, and the more popular it will be deemed.〔Scott, B. A., & Judge, T. A. (2009). The popularity contest at work: Who wins, why, and what do they receive? ''Journal Of Applied Psychology'', 94(1), 20-33.〕
Notwithstanding the above, popularity as a concept can be applied, assigned, or directed towards objects such as songs, movies, websites, activities, soaps, foods etc. Together, these objects collectively make up popular culture, or the consensus of mainstream preferences in society. In essence, anything, human or non-human, can be deemed popular.
