Many rehabilitation professionals have speculated that the more severe a parent's physical disability, the more disruptive are the effects on family life and child development. The present study tested this prediction by comparing children of fathers with paraplegia and quadriplegia on measures of personality adjustment, sex role identification, body image, health patterns, athletic interests, interpersonal relationships, parent-child relations, values, and attitudes. Few relationships between severity of paternal disability and child adjustment were found on more than 150 variables of child personality, behavior, and attitudes. When 6 variables showed differences between children of fathers with quadriplegia and paraplegia, there was no evidence of disturbed development in either group.
许多康复专业人员推测，父母身体残疾越严重，对家庭生活和儿童发育的干扰就越大。本研究通过比较截瘫和四肢瘫痪父亲的孩子在人格调适、性别角色认同、身体意象、健康模式、运动兴趣、人际关系、亲子关系、价值观和态度等方面的指标，对这一预测进行了检验。在150多个儿童人格、行为和态度变量上，几乎没有发现父亲残疾严重程度与儿童调适之间的关系。当6个变量显示四肢瘫痪和截瘫父亲的孩子之间存在差异时，两组均没有发育受干扰的证据。
