This study investigated social sensitivity and self - concept in students with learning disabilities (LD) and their non - learning - disabled (non - LD) peers. Thirty students each from public junior and senior high schools and a community college participated in the study, at each grade level, half were identified as learning disabled and half experienced no learning problem. Students were individually assessed in 30 - minute interviews for their accuracy in itnerpreting the thoughts and feelings of actors in tape - recorded stories depicting two adults in happy, angry, anxious, and sad interactions. A questionnaire assessing four dimensions of self - concept in leanring situations (motivation, task orientation, problem - solving ability, and class membership) was also administered. LD students at all grade levels were significantly less accurate at interpreting social situations than were their non - LD peers, and had significantly power self- concepts. These results support the need for remediation efforts specifically aimed at social skills for overcoming social deficits in adulthood.
