Abstract
Evaluated the social information-processing abilities of hyperactive-rejected, hyperactive-accepted, nonhyperactive-rejected, and nonhyperactive-accepted boys using Dodge's (1986) model of social competence as a framework. Hyperactivity status was ascertained using the Inattentive Overactive with Aggression (IOWA) Conners Scale (Loney & Milich, 1982). Peer nomination procedures are used to determine sociometric status. Results indicate that hyperactive-rejected boys display a unique constellation of social information-processing deficits relative to nonhyperactive-rejected boys. Specifically, nonhyperactive-rejected boys commit more attributional errors relative to hyperactive-rejected, hyperactive-accepted, and nonhyperactive-accepted boys. In addition, hyperactive-rejected boys exhibit excessive encoding and cue utilization deficiencies as compared to boys in the remaining three groups. Implications of these findings as well as suggestions for future research are discussed.
