Lecavalier, Luc; Tasse, Marc J.
American Journal on Mental Retardation, v107 n2 p105-15 Mar 2002
This study examined the relationship between psychopathology and motivation in 111 participants with mental retardation and psychiatric disorder and 11l participants with mental retardation only. The former scored higher on 8 of the 15 motives and had more motives above one standard deviation from the mean of the normative sample. Results support the sensitivity theory of Reiss and Havercamp.
