Description
Students who demonstrate early indicators of social and emotional maladjustment are a concern for practitioners as they often struggle with academic achievement. The present paper will examine latent profiles of early elementary students who are at risk for social and emotional problems. The analysis examines a combination of teacher- and peer-rated social and emotional behaviors. Differences in profile membership on peer- and teacher-rated social, emotional, and academic outcomes will be explored.
