Ment Retard. 1991 Feb;29(1):17-23.
Help-seeking preferences of parents of children with mental retardation were examined. A specially constructed Acceptance of Retardation Scale was administered to 25 fathers and 25 mothers. Respondents were asked to consider a number of need situations associated with their child's retardation and rate the likelihood that they would try to help themselves or seek external help from various sources. Results showed that mothers and fathers may have different help-seeking patterns. The fathers' help-seeking behavior seems to be instrumental, whereas mothers seem to be affected by ego considerations. Several demographic correlates of help-seeking behavior were also collected. Implications were discussed.
研究了智障儿童家长的求助偏好。对25位父亲和25位母亲施测了专门编制的智力迟钝接受量表。要求受访者考虑一系列与其孩子智力迟钝相关的需求情境，并对他们会尝试自助或从各种来源寻求外部帮助的可能性进行评分。结果表明，父亲和母亲的求助模式可能不同。父亲的求助行为似乎是出于功利性的，而母亲似乎受到自我因素的影响。还收集了求助行为的一些人口统计学相关因素，并对研究结果的意义进行了讨论。
