Effects of Behavioral Disability Labels, Writing Performance, and Examiner's Expertise on the Evaluation of Written Products.

Graham, Steve; Leone, Peter

Journal of Experimental Education, v55 n2 p89-94 Win 1987

The influence of disability labels, writing behavior of the person labeled, evaluator's expertise, and the interaction between these variables on the scores assigned to children's writing was examined. Disability labels did not affect the score, but the quality of writing and the examiner's expertise had a significant influence. (JAZ)
