A questionnaire in the form of a bipolar rating scale was constructed using 26 personality attributes drawn from the literature on personality of children with Down's syndrome (DS). This was administered to nine groups of adults with differing levels of experience and contact with children with DS. Adults who had frequent contact proved to be significantly less likely to rate the personality of children with DS as stereotypical than those with little contact. The implications of acceptance of the stereotype are discussed in relation to integration and to development of the mother-child relationship.
采用双极评定量表的形式构建了一份问卷，该问卷使用了从有关唐氏综合征（DS）患儿人格的文献中提取的26种人格特质。该问卷被发放给了九组成年人，他们与DS患儿的接触程度和经验水平各不相同。结果表明，与很少接触DS患儿的成年人相比，经常接触DS患儿的成年人将DS患儿的人格评价为刻板印象的可能性要小得多。文中讨论了接受这种刻板印象对融合以及母子关系发展的影响。
