The study uses the () developed by K. Milska and A. Mański to estimate the overgeneralisation effect in trait inferencing about children with craniofacial anomalies, which involved university students (future health professionals) and relatives of children with craniofacial microsomia (). The practical purpose of the study was to provide evidence supporting the benefits of using the to improve the outcomes of child rehabilitation.
The (Polish: ) was administered to a group of 843 university students of medical/caring professions and 26 parents/guardians of children with craniofacial anomalies. The responses of 757 subjects were included in the analysis.
Different trait profiles of a child with were obtained. The carer appraisal of their child tended to be very positive across all items. The student appraisals were definitely less positive and more varied. A range of factors which may affect trait impression leading to overgeneralisation in trait inferencing about a child with have been identified, including familiarity with the child, craniofacial anomaly suggestive of more severe disability, emotional expression and the relationship to the child.
The behaviour of the carers and professionals towards children with undergoing diagnostic assessment, treatment and rehabilitation is determined by how each of them perceives the child. The presence of anomaly increases the likelihood of overgeneralisation effect both in carers and professionals. The may be one of the instruments to detect/measure these differences to improve the outcomes of child rehabilitation.
本研究采用 K.米尔萨和 A.马尼斯开发的方法来估计在对颅面畸形儿童进行特质推断时的过度泛化效应，涉及大学生（未来的健康专业人员）和颅面小颌畸形儿童的亲属（）。本研究的实际目的是提供证据支持使用该方法来改善儿童康复的结果。
对 843 名医学/护理专业的大学生和 26 名颅面异常儿童的家长/监护人进行了（波兰语：）测试。对 757 名受试者的反应进行了分析。
获得了具有不同特质的儿童。护理人员对他们孩子的评价在所有项目中都非常积极。学生的评价肯定不那么积极，而且更加多样化。已经确定了一系列可能影响特质印象导致对患有颅面畸形儿童的特质推断过度泛化的因素，包括对儿童的熟悉程度、暗示更严重残疾的颅面异常、情绪表达和与儿童的关系。
在对接受诊断评估、治疗和康复的儿童进行护理和专业治疗时，护理人员和专业人员的行为取决于他们每个人对儿童的看法。异常的存在增加了护理人员和专业人员过度泛化效应的可能性。该方法可能是检测/测量这些差异以改善儿童康复结果的工具之一。
