ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the self-consciousness of children with learning disabilities (LD) and to identify related factors.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Five hundred and sixty pupils graded from 1 to 6 in an elementary school were investigated. According to the pupil rating scale revised screening for learning disabilities (PRS), combined Raven's test (CRT) and achievement of main courses, 35 of 560 pupils were diagnosed as LD children. Thirty-five children were selected from the average children and 35 from advanced children in academic achievement equally matched in class, gender, and age with LD children as control groups. The three groups were tested by Piers-Harris children's self-concept scale. Basic information of each subject was collected by self-made questionnaire.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Compared with the average and advanced children, LD children got significantly lower scores in self-concept scale. Based on logistic regression analysis, 3 factors were identified, including family income per month, single child and delivery model.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The results suggest that self-consciousness of children with LD is lower than that of normal children.</p>
