The present study purports to measure the school social behavior of hearing-impaired adolescents from public and private schools. It was hypothesized that hearing-impaired adolescents from private school are likely to have better school social behavior as compared to hearing-impaired adolescents from public school. For this purpose, School Social Behavior Scale (Ismail, 2002) was used to measure social competence and antisocial behavior. Hearing-impaired adolescents (N = 110) were taken from public and private schools. Findings indicated significant mean differences in school social behavior between hearing-impaired adolescents of public and private schools. Moreover, results revealed significant differences across gender, and hearing levels of hearing impaired adolescents. Mild hearing impaired adolescents scored significantly higher on social competence as compared to severe hearing impaired adolescents who scored significantly higher on anti-social behavior. Mild hearing impaired adolescents scored significantly higher on school social behavior. Hearing-impaired boys scored significantly higher on antisocial social behavior as compared to hearing-impaired girls. Findings are pretty insightful in understanding the role of level of hearing impairment, gender, public and private school system in school social behavior among hearing-impaired adolescents.
