A Study of Sex Differences in the Attitudes of Male and Female Teachers of the Trainable Mentally Retarded (TMR).

Sigler, Gary R.; And Others

Compared for sex differences were the attitudes towards affective and cognitive instructional goals of 11 male and 19 female teachers of the trainable mentally retarded. The Preferred Student Characteristic Scale (PSCS) was administered to the Ss. No sex differences in the teachers' attitudes were found. The results were compared with previous studies using the PSCS with teachers of the visually handicapped and of the educable mentally retarded. (DB)
