Abstract

The article studies the personalities and interests of mental defectives compared with those of normal children. Institutionalized adult defectives belong to the experimental group and the control group consisted of normal children in the public schools. Subjects were asked about their fears, wishes, practicality, and level of aspiration. Results of the study suggested that the adult defective can make social adjustment better than a normal child.
