The Relationship of Attributions and Personal Well-Being in Parents of Preschool Children with Disabilities.

Shapp, Luminitza C.; And Others

Journal of Early Intervention, v16 n4 p295-303 Fall 1992

This study of 27 couples with preschool children with disabilities found that mothers who continue over 3-5 years to ask why their child is disabled experience lower levels of well-being and that fathers who do not externalize blame to someone else or to fate experience higher levels of well-being.
