Literature on the sociometric isolate in school suggests the student is left out of things by classmates, lacks motivation for optimal classroom performance, and, is not an active participant in the /earning process. The present study was conducted to: (I) determine the sociometric
group structure of several 6th grade classes; (2) determine the acceptance, rejection, and, in particular, the isolate interaction patterns, and (3) determine psychological and social self-perceptions of the sociometric isolate. Results indicated the sociometric group structure for each class,
the acceptance, rejection, or isolate interaction patterns, and the six most frequently selected psychological and social self-perceptions of the sociometric isolate.
