Neuroticism Scale

This study was designed to assess the personality characteristics and psychological problems of parents of mentally retarded children. Seventy-six parents, whose mean age was 42.12 yr with SD 10.15. 38 of mentally retarded and 38 of normal children, were investigated. A Bengali version of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire was used to measure the psychoticism, neuroticism and extraversion-introversion responses of the parents. Results showed that parents of mentally retarded children had significantly higher scores only on the neuroticism scale, indicating that they were more emotionally unstable than the parents of normal children. The findings were discussed in terms of certain constraining factors associated with having a mentally retarded child. Counseling programmes for these parents should take into account these factors.

Neuroticism Scale

401 men and 475 women completed the Dutch version of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire. Factor comparisons all exceeded 0.97 so that the factors of Psychoticism, Extraversion, Neuroticism, and Social Desirability are deemed to be identical in the two countries, England and The Netherlands. Sex differences conform with those in most other cross-cultural studies, namely, men score higher than women on Psychoticism and Extraversion, but lower on Neuroticism and Social Desirability. Reliabilities (alpha coefficients) are satisfactorily high for all factors, although the lowest value (0.62) for the Psychoticism dimension for Dutch men appears somewhat weak. National differences on personality variables were only significant for the Neuroticism scale and Social Desirability; Dutch men and women scored lower on the Neuroticism scale than their English counterparts but higher on Social Desirability.

Mentally Retarded Children

In six illustrated booklets Cornelia Hollander has set forth a rationale and directions for an arts and crafts program for handicapped children. The first booklet describes how a group of parents and teachers of mentally retarded children organized a workshop to teach "uncreative adults" skills that they in turn could teach their handicapped children." The succeeding booklets deal, respectively, with finger painting and simple print making, drawing and painting, clay and other dimensional media, stitchery, and woodworking and odds and ends.

Mentally Retarded Children

Recent studies of mentally retarded children have found substantially higher rates of color blindness than are usually reported for the general population. In 2 of these studies, sex differences in color blindness, invariably found in intellectually normal children, do not appear. Reanalysis of data from one of the studies of retarded children suggests the possibility that the high rates arise from the difficulty in comprehending the test and following the directions rather than from faulty color vision. However, even if the number of color blind retarded children is actually lower than these studies show, the need for research on this topic seems apparent. Using color dependent instructional materials with color blind, mentally retarded children may be detrimental.

Evaluation Of Learning

This article discusses how the learning of Islamic Religious Education for mentally retarded children in Extraordinary Schools (SLB). Extraordinary Schools (SLB) are special schools for school-age children who have "special needs". Children with intellectual disabilities have IQs below the average normal child in general, thus causing their intellectual and intellectual functions disrupted which causes other problems that arise during their development. Islamic education is not only given to normal children, but also to children who have disabilities or mental disorders. This study uses qualitative research and uses a phenomenological approach. Data collection methods are observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of this study state that the implementation of Islamic Religious Education learning for mentally retarded children in SLB Bhakti Pemuda City of Kediri emphasizes memorization and practice directly with concrete or tangible objects, and is evaluated in three domains, namely cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. However, the evaluation of learning in SLB Bhakti Pemuda Kota Kediri is more measured from the realm of affective (attitude and values) and psychomotor (skills or skills).

Mentally Retarded Children

The acceptability of three treatments for the maladaptive, but not injurious, repetitive stereotyped behaviour of a mentally retarded child was evaluated. Evaluation was conducted by questionnaires to two groups of staff (nurses and teachers) at two New Zealand institutions for mentally retarded people. A differential reinforcement procedure was found to be most acceptable. A visual screening procedure was judged as being more than moderately acceptable by nurses but less than moderately acceptable by teachers. When visual screening and reinforcement were combined in a treatment package and a rationale for so doing was provided, acceptability was increased significantly for both groups of staff. Teachers rated visual screening, when explicitly prescribed with differential reinforcement, as more than moderately acceptable. The implications of the finding of differential rating of acceptability across and within occupational groups was discussed.

The Relationship

Forty male Anglican clergy completed the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire during mid-career development consultations. The findings that the clergy display elevated neuroticism scores and psychoticism scores no lower than men in general contradict predictions emerging from recent studies concerned with the relationship between personality and religion and suggest the need for further research.
