Social Judgments of Integrated and Segregated Students with Mental Retardation toward Their Same-Age Peers.

Altman, Reuben; Lewis, Timothy J.

Education and Training in Mental Retardation, v25 n2 p107-12 Jun 1990

The study with 60 mildly retarded students (at elementary, junior, and senior high levels) found that elementary level retarded students and students in primarily segregated settings rated peers (both retarded and nonretarded) more negatively than did older students or students in primarily integrated settings. Junior high students, however, favored retarded peers. (Author/DB)
