The purpose of this study was to investigate reliability of the Social Skills Rating Systems of Gresham and Elliott for use in Iran. The sample consisted of 304 students aged 6 to 12 years, selected from the elementary schools in Shiraz, Iran. Parents' and teachers' ratings of social skills and behavioural problems and self-rating of social skills were applied in this study. Pearson correlations between parents' and teachers' ratings were low to moderate. Correlations between social skills subdomains and behavioural problems subdomains were low to high. Cronbach coefficients alpha were satisfactory for the two subdomains.

Parents' and teachers' ratings of social skills and behavioural problems for 89 special education students aged 8 to 15 yr. were measured using the Social Skills Rating System of Gresham and Elliott. The sample was selected in a school for educable mentally retarded children in Shiraz, Iran. The low to moderate correlations between the two sets of ratings suggest that assessment of social skills and behavioural problems should include the use of different rating scales in more than one setting. Sex differences were not significant for parents' and teachers' ratings of these disabled children. The scores showed high internal consistency.
