title: Relationship between self-concept and classroom behavior among learning and nonlearning disabled students in regular classes.
abstract: To investigate the relationships of the self-concept with classroom behaviors, the Pictorial Scale of Perceived Competence and Social Acceptance for Young Children and the Self-perception Profile for Learning Disabled Students were administered to 140 learning disabled and 246 nonlearning disabled pupils while teachers completed the Questionnaire on Approach/Avoidance Classroom Behavior toward schoolwork. Correlations showed a meaningful association between scores on the self-concept Behavioral Conduct subscale and rated classroom behavior for subjects of Grades 1 to 4. Also, while the relationship was meaningful for the high achievers, analysis showed few significant relationships for learning-disabled pupils.
