What retarded adults believe about sex.
Information was presented from results of administration of the Socio-Knowledge and Attitudes Test to retarded persons aged 18 to 41 (equal sex distribution), most of whom were moderately or severely retarded. One-half of the sample were residents in a state institution, and the other half lived in their own or in group homes in an urban community. Little relationship was found between subjects' ages and response scores, but, on certain subtests, there were significant relationships between sex-knowledge score and subject's IQ, adaptive behavior level, sex, and/or place of residence.
