Abstract

Developmental and individual differences in tactfulness were assessed on a role-playing task requiring children to give negative feedback to peers. Subjects were learning disabled and nondisabled children in the first through fourth grades. Analyses indicated that third and fourth graders were more tactful than first and second graders, and that nondisabled children were more tactful than learning disabled children. The implications of these findings for children's peer relationships are discussed.
