Sociometric Measurement: Methodological Consideration of Its Use with Mildly Learning Handicapped and Nonhandicapped Children.

Morrison, Gale M.

Journal of Educational Psychology, v73 n2 p193-201 Apr 1981

Data analyses indicated that variation in class placement of learning handicapped children is crucial in judging the appropriateness and interpretation of content of various sociometric methods.
