Abstract

Mentally retarded (MR) and non-mentally retarded (NMR) adults matched for parental occupational levels were compared in their responses to a modified version of the Fear Survey Schedule (FSS-III) allowing only three response categories. The fear items were subdivided into five dimensional categories of fear types: Social Rejection (SR), Agoraphobia (Ag), Tissue damage (TD), Sex and Aggression (SA) and Animal (An). The MR group showed a higher level of self-reported fear overall, modified by a significant group by fear type interaction. All fear types except SR contributed to the overall difference, particularly An and TD type fears. For SR fears, the direction of the difference was marginally reversed. In the NMR group, the usual finding that women express more fears than men was replicated, but there was no sex difference in the MR group. Explanations in terms of linguistic competence, parenting, and social and gender-identity factors are discussed.

智力迟钝的恐惧:第一部分——有或没有智力迟钝的男性和女性报告的恐惧类型

与父母职业水平相匹配的智障(MR)和非智障(NMR)成年人对修改版的恐惧调查表(FSS-III)的反应进行了比较，该表只允许三种反应类别。恐惧项目被细分为5个维度的恐惧类型:社会排斥(SR)、广场恐怖(Ag)、组织损伤(TD)、性与攻击(SA)和动物(An)。总的来说，MR组表现出更高水平的自我报告的恐惧，通过恐惧类型的相互作用进行了显著的修改。除了SR之外的所有恐惧类型都对总体差异有贡献，尤其是An和TD类型的恐惧。对于SR恐惧，差异的方向略有逆转。在核磁共振组中，女性比男性表现出更多恐惧的通常发现得到了重复，但核磁共振组中没有性别差异。从语言能力、父母教养、社会和性别认同因素等方面进行了解释。
