Adjustment and competence of siblings who had a brother or sister with mental retardation were compared to those of control siblings who had brothers or sisters with no disabilities. Results indicated no overall differences for internalizing disorders, externalizing disorders, or for self-esteem and competence based on group membership, gender, or gender match. However, boys with a brother or sister with mental retardation had difficulty in school functioning. In addition, a greater number of girls with brothers and sisters with mental retardation expressed their distress through internalization.
将有患智力障碍兄弟姐妹的同胞的适应能力和能力与有非残疾兄弟姐妹的对照同胞的适应能力和能力进行了比较。结果表明，基于组群成员身份、性别或性别匹配，在内化障碍、外化障碍或自尊及能力方面没有总体差异。然而，有患智力障碍兄弟姐妹的男孩在学校功能方面存在困难。此外，更多有患智力障碍兄弟姐妹的女孩通过内化来表达她们的苦恼。
