The home environment and behavior of 97 families with severely mentally retarded children was examined in order to determine the presence of family types. Cluster analysis was performed on 16 measures of proximal home environment. Five unique family clusters were identified: cohesive, control-oriented, responsive-to-child, moral-religious-oriented, nonachievement-oriented, and achievement-oriented. Comparison among the clusters on other family and child characteristics and behaviors revealed significant differences. The family types identified in this study were similar to previously determined family types. These findings appear to support the establishment of a standard classification of families.
对97个有重度智力发育迟缓儿童的家庭的家庭环境和行为进行了调查，以确定家庭类型的存在情况。对16项近端家庭环境指标进行了聚类分析。识别出了五个独特的家庭类别：凝聚力型、控制导向型、对孩子有反应型、道德宗教导向型、非成就导向型和成就导向型。对这些类别在其他家庭及儿童特征和行为方面的比较显示出显著差异。本研究中确定的家庭类型与先前确定的家庭类型相似。这些发现似乎支持建立家庭的标准分类。
