This study examined adolescents' conceptions about how to respond after being caught in misconduct, in order to determine whether students with learning disabilities differ from non-disabled students in their beliefs regarding apprehension. A total of 88 students with learning disabilities (62 male, 26 female) and 84 nondisabled students (45 male, 39 female) were interviewed about 10 scenarios in which a teenager was caught by authorities after participating in misconduct, either alone or with a peer. The mean age of the students was 16 years (SD = 1.4). The results indicated that the students with learning disabilities were significantly more likely than other students to suggest escaping and less likely to suggest accepting the consequences, although the differences were not great. The implications of these findings are discussed.
