The present research study was aimed at assessing and comparing the type and level of coping strategies among the parents of 150 intellectually disabled children, who were selected from 3 RCI (Rehabilitation Council of India) recognized special schools of Delhi across child’s degree of intellectual disability. Sample was drawn randomly in equal proportions from three categories of intellectual disability namely mild, moderate and severe. The coping strategies of parents were assessed using Family Interview for Stress and Coping in Mental Retardation (Section-II) developed by NIMHANS. The findings of the present study revealed that parents having children with severe intellectual disability had low expectations, more negative attitudes towards child management and rearing practices as compare to parents with mildly and moderately disabled children. Coping strategies among these components were decreasing with the severity of child’s intellectual disability. Overall it was observed that families of mildly challenged children were comparatively better coped up.Keywords

The present study assessed and compared the type and level of coping stress by the parents of 150 mentally challenged children. The sample for the present study comprised of mothers and fathers of 150 mentally challenged children drawn randomly in equal proportions from two social classes under study viz. LIG and MIG across the three levels of mental retardation. The type and levels of coping stress by parents were assessed using Family Interview for Stress and Coping in Mental Retardation (Part II) developed by NIMHANS. The study revealed that social class had an impact on the level of coping. MIG mothers and fathers were observed to be better coped up. They were found to be more aware regarding child’s condition, adopting better child rearing practices and also had more expectations and better attitudes towards the child’s condition. Interestingly, the predominant reason was better educational level and financial status of MIG families as compared to the LIG.Keywords

The present investigation aimed at assessing and comparing the emotional maturity of adolescents from orphanages, single parent families and intact families across gender. Also, the relationship between emotional maturity and adjustment was explored. A sample of 100 adolescents from orphanages and 200 adolescents from government schools (100 from single parent families and 100 from intact families) has been selected through random sampling technique. Emotional Maturity Scale and Bell’s Adjustment Inventory were administered in the present study. Analysis of data revealed that girls belonged to intact families were significantly more emotionally progressed and socially adjusted. In overall emotional maturity also, girls were more emotionally mature when compared with boys. Also, the total emotional maturity of boys from orphanages and intact families was found to be positively correlated with their adjustment. Whereas, adolescents living with single parent families reported negative correlation. Interestingly, the independency of all the adolescent boys irrespective of their family type was found to be negatively correlated with their adjustment. Overall emotional maturity of girls belonging to orphanages was significantly and positively correlated with the adjustment. Furthermore, integrated personality of girls from orphanages and independence of girls belonging to single parent families also found significantly and positively correlated with the adjustment.Keywords
