Abstract
3 sets of variables were studied: (a) maternal independence training attitudes toward the deaf child, (b) selectivity in such attitudes on the basis of the hearing handicap, and (c) mothers' achievement needs. The data suggest that the more important influences on the handicapped child are not the maternal attitudes toward the handicap but, rather, toward children in general. "Mothers with low achievement needs tended to be moderate in their independence training attitudes toward normal children, while high n Achievement mothers tended toward the extreme positions of favoring very early or very late independence. High n Achievement mothers favored significantly later independence in deaf children." (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
