Oliver, Matthew N.; Anthony, Aaron; Leimkuhl, Trisha T.; Skillman, Gemma D.
Education and Training in Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities, v37 n2 p193-201 Jun 2002
This study evaluated attitudinal discrepancies among non-disabled community members regarding the acceptability of socio-sexual expression for persons with and without mental retardation. Overall, discrepancies between adults with and without mental retardation primarily concern attitudes toward marriage and parenthood. Older adults, both non-disabled and disabled, were more conservative in their attitudes toward socio-sexual behavior. (Contains references.) (Author/DB)
