Abstract
The relationship between psychological needs (as reflected by the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule and the Teacher Preference Schedule) and preferences for teaching certain exceptional children was studied in a sample of 534 regular and special education students and 192 practicing regular and special class teachers. A number of personality variables related to preferences for teaching certain exceptionalities were identified. The small numbers preferring to teach any one exceptionality and the failure in most instances to confirm the results across subject populations suggested the need for replication of the present study using larger and more representative samples of subjects.Keywords
