Manikam, Ramasamy; And Others
Research in Developmental Disabilities, v16 n5 p349-64 Sep-Oct 1995
Self-report measures of depression, general psychopathology, and social skills were administered to 100 adolescents ranging from moderate mental retardation to above normal intelligence. Adolescents with mental retardation reported more depression and general psychopathology symptoms. Adaptive behavior functioned as a moderator variable, mediating the relationship between depression and intellectual functioning. (Author/DB)
