Abstract
A total of 1,053 students participated in this study, which compared the social status of middle-school students with learning disabilities to a randomly chosen sample of students without disabilities. Information was gathered from a forced-choice Sociogram, a self-rating questionnaire, and a teacher rating scale. Descriptive statistics revealed that students with learning disabilities earned lower scores on the teacher rating scale and the self-rating questionnaire. Similarly, compared to their nondisabled peers, these students received more negative and fewer positive votes on the Sociogram. For all students, attractive and athletic votes were highly correlated with positive votes on the Sociogram. Recommendations are offered for future sociometric research.Keywords
