Is There a "Psychology of the Deaf?"
Lane, Harlan
Exceptional Children, v55 n1 p7-19 Sep 1988
Traits attributed to deaf people may not reflect their true characteristics, but the paternalistic posture of hearing experts. The attributions reveal paternalistic universals, paternalistic parallax, paternalistic ethnocentrism, and economic self-interest. Research flaws in test administration, test language, and test scoring are identified. (Author/JDD)
