Farmer, Thomas W.; Van Acker, Richard M.; Pearl, Ruth; Rodkin, Philip C.

Remedial and Special Education, v20 n4 p244-56 Jul-Aug 1999

Peer-assessed problem behavior was examined in relation to peer-group membership and social-network centrality in 59 fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-grade classes. Most students with high peer-assessed problem behavior were students without disabilities, but students with disabilities were over represented at the highest levels of problem behavior. (Author/CR)
