“…It is also notable that people with an intellectual disability generally display or report a higher prevalence of anxiety disorders and neurotic symptoms (e.g., Duff et al, 1981;Gullone, Cummins, & King, in press;Gullone, King, & Cummins, in press;King, Josephs, Gullone, Madden, & Ollendick, 1994;Malpass, Mark, & Palermo, 1960). For example, Gullone, Cummins, and King (in press) investigated the fears of children and adolescents with a mild to moderate intellectual disability compared to a sample of a youth described as having average intelligence.…”

Adaptive Behaviour in Children and Adolescents With and Without an Intellectual Disability: Relationships with Fear and Anxiety

1995

Prior research has indicated that people with an intellectual disability experience higher levels of negative affect, including anxiety and fearfulness, than people who are not disabled. This is important because research has also suggested a negative relationship between emotional distress and adaptive behaviour, albeit in nondisabled populations. The present study investigates the relationships between fear, anxiety, and adaptive behaviour in children and adolescents with an intellectual disability as compared to youth of average intelligence. A sample ranging in age from 7 to 18 years participated in the study. Fifty-one respondents (30 male, 21 female) constituted the intellectually disabled sample, and 57 (28 male, 29 female) constituted the comparison group. Analysis revealed higher levels of fear and anxiety among the group with disabilities. An inverse relationship was also found between negative affect and adaptive behaviour among the youth with disabilities, but not for youth of average intelligence. The results are discussed in relation to their implications for intervention programs.

“…Studies of institutionalized and non-institutionalized mental retardates have reported manifest anxiety to be higher among those who are institutionalized (Cochran 8: Cleland, 1963;Malpass, Mark, & Palermo, 1960). Implicit here is the suggestion char instit~~tionalization itself may in many cases provoke a high level of chronic anxiety.…”

Sunzmary.-88 institutionalized retardates were dichotomized by sex and by rwo ordinal positions of birth, i.e., "first-born" and "later-born." I t was hypothesized chat later-borns would improve more in academic achievement than first-borns over an acadcmic year regardless of level of achievement. Also, it was hyporhesized that females would improve more rhan males. The first hypothesis was supported, but no general sex differences were found. Results were discussed in relation to varied patterns of social reinforcement indigenous to institutional staffing patterns.In a recent study, Schachcer (1964) found first-born respondents to a sociometric choice to be Icss popular, to choose relatively fewer people, and to choose more popular people than did later-born Ss. These results, along with Schachcer's earlier work which indicated first-borns were more dependent, led the author to suggest, "To the extent that a person's relationships are established because of what other people think rather than because of his own needs and

“…The CMAS has the advantage of some age norms for children (Castaneda et al 1956), although it should be noted that these norms are now dated. The addition of a Lie Scale may be particularly helpful as a measure of responding with a socially desirable set as some studies have indicated children with a mental handicap score more highly on the Lie Scale than nonhandicapped children (Malpass et al 1960;Cochran & Cleland, 1963). One limitation which has been noted has been that all items are worded positively and may, thus, be susceptible to response acquiescence (Pryer & Cassel, 1962).…”

Psychometric assessment of psychiatric disorders in people with learning difficulties (mental handicap): a review of measures

1991

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

SYNOPSISInstruments designed to assess psychiatric disorders in people with learning difficulties (mental handicap) were critically reviewed from a psychometric perspective. Major trends were found in the assessment of psychopathology related to DSM-III and depressive disorders although research in other areas was patchy. Although some psychometrically sophisticated measures were identified the area was characterized by an absence of important psychometric data for many measures. Future research should attend to developing assessments of schizophrenia, psycho-sexual disorders, adjustment disorders and the validation of screening procedures and instrument formats. Future studies should include more people with severe and profound learning difficulties.
