abstract="The sociometric status and behaviour of 179 children aged 8.0-12.0 years, including 36 children with learning disabilities, were examined. Compared to non-LD children, more LD children were rejected and fewer were popular. LD children were nominated as shy, seeking help and as victims of bullying significantly more than non-LD children; fewer were nominated as cooperative or as a leader. Aggressive behaviours did not distinguish the two groups. Teacher scores of LD children's behaviour were not related to peer nominations, although those of non-LD children were. Findings are discussed in relation to the role of social cognitive deficits in LD children's relationships with peers.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
