“…Although the problem of acquiescence among mentally retarded persons in interview situations has long been recognized, some techniques for minimizing its effects have been offered (Flynn 1986;Sigelman, Budd, Spanhel, & Schoenrock, 1981;Sigelman, Budd, Winer, Schoenrock, & Martin, 1982;Wyngaarden, 1981;Zetlin, Heriot, & Turner, 1985).…”

This study presents a typology of perceptions of old age based on a sample of 47 aging mentally retarded persons. Using data collected through in-person interviews, a content analysis yielded six general types of responses to the question, "What does getting old mean to you?" Next, we conducted three analyses investigating the relation of respondents'perceptions of aging to specific sample member characteristics. Persons who were currently working were more likely to anticipate changes in their social lives than were persons who were not employed. Further, workrelated changes were more likely to be anticipated by persons living in communitybased settings than those in an institutional setting, and by respondents who were age 60 or younger than by persons older than 60. Finally, most of the sample members defined the age of an older person as being more advanced than their current age. We discuss the programmatic, research, and policy implications of the study.As is true among the general population, there has been a significant increase in the longevity of persons with mental retardation over the last several decades.

“…A related research issue concerns the measurement difficulties associated with assessing stress in people with intellectual disabilities, a group that often has difficulty understanding traditional paper and pencil self-report instruments, such as those discussed above. Poor reading ability, expressive and receptive language deficits, memory, acquiescence, 'nay' saying and compliance with unreasonable requests are just a few of these reported difficulties (Damon & Hart, 1982;Rosen, Clark and Kivitz, 1977;Sigelman, Budd, Spanhel, & Schoenrock, 1981).…”

“…Les animateurs doivent être sensibles à la manière de formuler les questions, car différentes formes de questions, ouvertes ou fermées, sont susceptibles de produire différents types de réponses ou différentes formes de biais dans les réponses (Budd, Sigelman et Sigelman, 1981;Carrier et Fortin, 1994;Sigelman, Budd, Spanhel et Schoenrock, 1981a, 1981b. Les questions qui s'adressent au groupe doivent être constituées d'une seule idée et elles seront reformulées au besoin pour les rendre accessibles à tous (Garcia-Iriarte et al, 2009).…”

Cet article est le premier de deux articles portant sur une étude qui a pour but d’identifier les meilleures pratiques pour l’utilisation du groupe de discussion focalisée en général, puis avec des participants ayant une déficience intellectuelle en particulier. Le premier article présente les meilleures pratiques répertoriées lors de la recension des écrits. Les résultats de cette recension sont regroupés en cinq dimensions : le recrutement des participants, le consentement à la recherche, la structure des rencontres, l’animation des rencontres ainsi que leur contenu. Les résultats proposent des aménagements aux façons de faire traditionnelles du groupe de discussion focalisée afin de les rendre plus accessibles à une diversité de participants et de faciliter l’expression de leur point de vue.This is the first of two articles relating to our research whose objective was to identify the best practices in the utilization of focus groups where the participants have intellectual disabilities. The first article presents the findings of the literature survey of focus group best practices both in the general case and in situations involving participants with intellectual disabilities. The results of the literature survey are grouped into five categories: recruitment of participants, the consent process, the structure of the focus group meetings, their facilitation and their content. Our results propose specific modifications to traditional focus group practices in order to better accommodate the diversity of the participants and to foster active discourse and expression of opinions. In particular, we suggest ways to utilize this research method to deepen our understanding of the concerns, experiences and expectations of the individuals having intellectual disabilities
