Ainge, David; Colvin, Geoff; Baker, Scott
Education and Training in Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities, v33 n4 p331-41 Dec 1998
A study involving 64 Australian parents of children with mental retardation (ages 4-31) found no significant differences between mothers and fathers in terms of their general positivity-negativity, but that fathers were less represented by overall responses than mothers. Significant differences were also found between subgroups of mothers. (Author/CR)
