Abstract

This study examines emotional and social factors related to learning problems. Thirteen family structure variables were studied in relation to five measures of school performance in a sample of 94 boys referred for emotional and learning problems. Several variables, including socioeconomic status and parental ambitiousness for the child were related to school performance. Comparisons were made of findings obtained by univariate and multivariate correlation techniques.
