A study was made of the ability of attendants in residential institutions for mentally retarded persons to plan an attendant-training program. A mailback survey of attendants in two midwestern institutions yielded 173 respondents. Planning-related responses were for originality, practicality, and completeness. Measures of job satisfaction, attitudes toward mental retardation, and demographic information were also obtained. It was hypothesized that the majority of attendants would be able to outline a training program for attendants and that planning ability would be related to the other variables measured. Tryon and Bailey's cluster analysis method was used, and four relatively independent clusters were found: rated training suggestions, job satisfaction, segregation-exclusion attitude, and tenure. An object-cluster analysis was performed on each attendant's cluster scores, identifying individual score profiles and isolating seven major 0-types. These were discussed in terms of predicted attendants' ability to plan a training program. It was concluded that some attendants are capable of making meaningful contributions to the training process but that this ability does not appear to be related to the other variables such as tenure or job satisfaction.
一项针对智障人士寄宿机构护理人员制定护理人员培训计划能力的研究展开。对中西部两家机构的护理人员进行的邮寄调查得到了173名受访者的回应。与规划相关的回应涉及原创性、实用性和完整性。还获取了工作满意度、对智障的态度以及人口统计学信息的测量数据。研究假设是，大多数护理人员能够为护理人员勾勒出一个培训计划，并且规划能力将与所测量的其他变量相关。采用了特赖恩和贝利的聚类分析方法，发现了四个相对独立的类别：评定的培训建议、工作满意度、隔离-排斥态度和任职期限。对每位护理人员的类别得分进行了对象聚类分析，确定了个人得分概况并分离出七种主要的0型。根据预测的护理人员制定培训计划的能力对这些进行了讨论。得出的结论是，一些护理人员能够对培训过程做出有意义的贡献，但这种能力似乎与任职期限或工作满意度等其他变量无关。
