Susceptibility to Ingroup Influence in Adolescents With Intellectual Disability: A Minimal Group Experiment on Social Judgment Making.

ABSTRACT: Adolescents with intellectual disability (ID) experience challenges and uncertainty when making judgments about other people's intentions. In an attempt to achieve certainty, they might exhibit judgment tendencies that differ from those of typically developing adolescents. This study investigated social judgment making in adolescents with ID (n = 34, M _age = 14.89 years, SD = 1.41 years) compared with chronological age-matched adolescents without ID (n = 34, M _age = 14.68 years, SD = 1.15 years) and mental age (MA)-matched children (n = 34, M _age = 7.93 years, SD = 0.64 years). Participants used a computer-based task to judge the hostility of persons (fictitious characters).
