Abstract
Synopsis: The parents of 24 physically handicapped children were grouped according to their responses to a Primary Mood Factors grid and comparisons were made with their children's responses to a self-concept scale. It was found that parents who were close together in their primary mood reactions had handicapped children who were more positive in self-esteem than those dyads who were divided in their primary mood reaction.Keywords
