The social/verbal interactions of 6 employees with moderate or severe mental retardation and 6 workers without mental retardation were observed in six restaurants. Results showed that target workers without mental retardation gave more directions, asked more work-related questions, initiated more jokes, and had more general work-related comments than did target workers with mental retardation. The latter received more greetings and social amenities. Interactions between workers with mental retardation and the job coach correlated negatively with the workers' initiation of interactions with co-workers who did not have mental retardation. Implications for job placement and training as well as future research needs were discussed.
在六家餐厅观察了6名中度或重度智力障碍员工和6名无智力障碍员工的社交/言语互动。结果显示，与有智力障碍的目标员工相比，无智力障碍的目标员工给出了更多指示，提出了更多与工作相关的问题，讲了更多笑话，并且有更多与工作相关的一般性评论。后者得到了更多的问候和社交礼仪。有智力障碍的员工与工作教练之间的互动与他们与无智力障碍同事发起互动的情况呈负相关。讨论了对工作安置和培训的影响以及未来的研究需求。
