Description

The problem of this study was to determine if differences in attitudes and temperament traits would create a separation between a group of mothers of children who have learning disabilities and a group of mothers of children who do not have learning disabilities. The purpose of the investigation was to determine if differences between the two groups would warrant programmatic changes in parent education and development of new counseling approaches for mothers of children with learning disabilities within the schools. Findings indicated that neither the analysis of maternal attitudes nor the analysis of temperament traits contributed to a distinct separation … continued below

Description

The problem of this study was to determine if differences in attitudes and temperament traits would create a separation between a group of mothers of children who have learning disabilities and a group of mothers of children who do not have learning disabilities. The purpose of the investigation was to determine if differences between the two groups would warrant programmatic changes in parent education and development of new counseling approaches for mothers of children with learning disabilities within the schools. Findings indicated that neither the analysis of maternal attitudes nor the analysis of temperament traits contributed to a distinct separation of the two groups. The scores for all participants were within normal limits, with the mean scores of mothers of children with learning disabilities being slightly higher on all scales of both instruments. The two groups were found to separate on variables of age of mother and sex and age of the child. Groups also separated when all variables were viewed simultaneously; three temperament trait variables (Restraint, Objectivity, Emotional Stability) in combination with sex and age of the child created this distinct separation. Due to the procedures utilized in sample selection, significant separations based on demographic data may not present an accurate picture of group differences. Therefore, it was concluded that programmatic changes in parent education and new counseling approaches for mothers of children with learning disabilities was not warranted. On the basis of these findings, school counselors interested in assisting mothers of children with learning disabilities might consider utilizing any of the present parent education programs or counseling approaches now available. Providing opportunities for mothers to become involved within the school setting might help both mother and child in adjusting to the child's learning environment. Further research is recommended to explore how relationships between positive maternal attitudes and temperament traits are related to learning disabilities exhibited by the child.
