  • Title: Interpersonal tactics and communicative strategies of Anglo-American and Mexican-American mildly mentally retarded and nonretarded students.
    Author: Rueda R, Smith DC.
    Journal: Appl Res Ment Retard; 1983; 4(2):153-61. PubMed ID: 6639009.
    Abstract:
    In this investigation, we compared the preferred interpersonal tactics of mildly mentally retarded Mexican-American and Anglo-American children in an experimental social problem-solving situation. Sixty subjects were divided into four equal groups based upon ethnicity (Mexican-American or Anglo-American) and educational status (mildly mentally retarded or nonretarded). Results indicated that although there were no ethnic group differences, differences in preferred problem solving strategies were demonstrated by mentally retarded and nonretarded children. Overall, nonretarded children tended to utilize strategies such as cooperation and temporary withdrawal more often than mentally retarded children.
