N2  - The social information-processing skills of 16 aggressive and 19 nonaggressive men with borderline to moderate mental retardation were examined in light of some of the steps described in Dodge's social information-processing model (Dodge, Pettit, McClaskey, & Brown, 1986). Contrary to expectations based on Dodge et al.'s findings with children who did not have mental retardation, aggressive and nonaggressive groups did not differ in their ability to generate multiple solutions or in their ability to provide appropriate responses. Similar to Dodge et al.'s findings, however, subjects in the aggressive group generated significantly more aggressive solutions and tended more often to give an aggressive response first than did the nonaggressive subjects. Preliminary implication for treatment were offered.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
