    The acceptance that children receive from their peers can be very uneven, as well as the perception they have of the acceptance received. Both the actual acceptance and the accuracy (or biases) with which they perceive it can have consequences on children normal adaptation to their social environment. The objective of this study is to explore the relationship between the acceptance/rejection that primary school children receive from their peers and the perception ofsuch acceptance/rejection,comparing the profiles of the differentsociometriccategories. Thestudy was carried out with a sample of 97 children (50 girls, 47 boys) aged between 6 and 12 years, recruited from educational centers of Basic Education in Quito (Ecuador). A sociometric questionnaire was administered, from which their sociometric status (popular, rejected, controversial, ignored, average) and measures of perception of acceptance and rejection, both generalized and dyadic, were estimated for each participant. The results show that rejected children overestimate the global acceptance received (they think they have more acceptance than they really have); and that, regarding the dyadic perception (or exact perception of specific peers who choose or reject them), ignored children underestimate the acceptance of the few peers who choose them, while the popular and average children underestimate the cases of rejection they receive. These results provide interesting clues for the design of educational situations in which schoolchildren have the opportunity to check and adjust the perception of peer acceptance and /or rejection.La aceptaci贸n que los ni帽os/as reciben por parte de sus iguales puede ser muy desigual, as铆 como la percepci贸n que tienen de la aceptaci贸n recibida. Tanto la aceptaci贸n real como la precisi贸n (o los sesgos) con que la perciben pueden tener consecuencias en la normal adaptaci贸n de los ni帽os/as a su entorno social. El objetivo de este estudio es explorar la relaci贸n entre la aceptaci贸n/rechazo que reciben de sus iguales ni帽os y ni帽as de Educaci贸n Primaria y la percepci贸n de tal aceptaci贸n/rechazo, comparando los perfiles de las distintas categor铆as sociom茅tricas. El estudio se llev贸 a cabo con una muestra de 97 ni帽os/as (50 ni帽as y 47 ni帽os) de 6 a 12 a帽os, pertenecientes a centros educativos de Educaci贸n B谩sica de Quito (Ecuador). Se administr贸 un cuestionario sociom茅trico, a partir del cual se estim贸 para cada participante su estatus sociom茅trico (popular, rechazado, controvertido, ignorado, promedio) y medidas de percepci贸n de la aceptaci贸n y del rechazo, tanto generalizada como di谩dica. Los resultados indican que los ni帽os/as rechazados sobrevaloran la aceptaci贸n global recibida (piensan que tienen m谩s aceptaci贸n de la que realmente tienen); y que, en cuanto a la percepci贸n di谩dica (o percepci贸n exacta de compa帽eros/as concretos que los eligen o rechazan), los ni帽os/as ignorados subestiman la aceptaci贸n de los escasos compa帽eros que los eligen, mientras que los populares y promedio subestiman los casos de rechazo que reciben. Los resultados aportan claves interesantes para el dise帽o de situaciones educativas en las que los escolares tengan la oportunidad de comprobar y ajustar la percepci贸n de la aceptaci贸n y/o rechazo de sus compa帽eros/as
