Comparison of successful and unsuccessful community-placed mentally retarded persons.
Differences in the characteristics of unsuccessful and successful community-placed clients were examined. Discriminant function analysis identified a maladaptive behavior factor and sex to be significant discriminators between the two groups. Unsuccessful clients manifested a significantly higher frequency of every maladaptive behavior assessed by the maladaptive variable. More males than females failed in community placement.
