Assessment of Perceived Competence, Motivational Orientation, and Anxiety in Segregated and Mainstreamed Educable Mentally Retarded Children.
Silon, Ellen L.; Harter, Susan
Journal of Educational Psychology, v77 n2 p217-30 Apr 1985
Three instruments designed to tap the self-system in normal IQ children were administered to 126 retarded children in mainstreamed and self-contained classrooms. Factor structures differed significantly from normal IQ results. The need to revise instruments for use with the retarded and to obtain social comparison information is emphasized. (Author/BS)
