Abstract
In this review, sociometric procedures for the assessment of social competence in children are considered. Both the traditional nomination procedures as well as the more recently developed rating procedures are described and discussed in terms of the psychometric properties and utility as research tools. In addition, peer and teacher assessment procedures are reviewed. While by definition not sociometric measures, they provide comparable data and can be used in similar fashion. The implications of using these procedures with retarded children is discussed and research recommendations are offered.Keywords
