摘要:

ABSTRACTAs part of a larger study of the attitudes of diverse samples towards the application of eugenics to the treatment of people with mental retardation, a 32‐item summated rating scale was developed as a contemporary, brief, easy to administer and score, and psychometrically sound instrument. Data were collected and analysed that indicated satisfactory item characteristics and reliability, and initial support for the content and construct validities of the scale. Analyses of social desirability data revealed that scale scores were not influenced by the subjects' desire to adhere to socially desirable expectations. The scale should be useful for the investigation of questions concerning the formation, structure and correlates of attitudes toward the application of eugenics to the treatment of people with mental retardation, and the relationship of these attitudes to contemporary mental retardation policies and practice

摘要:

ABSTRACTThe recently revived academic interest in and controversy over the subject of Asperger's syndrome is briefly discussed. Gillberg&Gillberg's operational criteria for its definition are used to isolate three cases of the syndrome presenting over a single year to a mental handicap service. The cases are described in detail. Common themes and associations with the available literature are discussed. In all three cases, the struggle for clarity in the syndrome's nature or specificity in the literature is also reflected in aspects of their clinical management.

摘要:

ABSTRACTStereotype hand movements are one behavioural manifestation of Rett syndrome, a neurodegenerative disorder resulting in severe mental retardation. They are neuropathological in origin, and constitute a barrier to the acquisition and exhibition of more developmentally appropriate behaviours, as well as posing a health risk for some individuals. The present study used an analogue assessment procedure, in which experimental conditions were constructed varying in the consequences delivered contingent upon the exhibition behaviour, to examine environmental correlates to the moment‐to‐moment expression of these behaviours. Results are discussed regarding their implications for intervention and research into the aetiology of stereotypic behavio
