Bi-Directional and Cross-Categorical Social Status of Learning Disabled, Behaviorally Disordered, and Nonhandicapped Adolescents.

Sabornie, Edward J.; And Others

Journal of Special Education, v21 n4 p39-56 Win 1987-88

The assigned and received social status of mildly learning-disabled, mildly behaviorally disordered, and nonhandicapped high school students (n=66) was examined. The samples' social status differed significantly from a larger nonhandicapped population. Cross-categorical comparisons of assigned social status showed no significant differences, though in received status, the groups varied widely. (Author/JDD)
