Self-concepts of 70 adolescent siblings of children with profound levels of mental retardation were investigated. Their mean self-concept was compared with a matched group of 70 adolescent siblings of children without profound levels of retardation. Using the Tennessee Self-concept Scale, two variables (maternal self-concept and siblings' self-concept) were assessed for differences between siblings and mothers (the target group) of mentally retarded children and siblings and mothers (the comparison group) of children without mental retardation. No significant mean difference between the two groups suggests no special difficulties in psychosocial adjustment for siblings of the mentally retarded.
对70名患有严重智力障碍儿童的青少年兄弟姐妹的自我概念进行了调查。将他们的平均自我概念与70名没有严重智力障碍儿童的青少年兄弟姐妹组成的匹配组进行比较。使用田纳西自我概念量表，评估了两个变量（母亲的自我概念和兄弟姐妹的自我概念），以比较智障儿童的兄弟姐妹与母亲（目标组）以及非智障儿童的兄弟姐妹与母亲（对照组）之间的差异。两组之间没有显著的平均差异，这表明智障儿童的兄弟姐妹在心理社会适应方面没有特殊困难。
