Author: Sanders-Warmack, Courtney
Decade: 1990-1999
Abstract: Ten students were mailed postcards inviting them to participate in the study. The student's demographic data and background data were completed on-site by the researcher. The purpose of this study was to recognize the nonhandicapped sibling, and to examine stress as a factor influencing expressed attitudes towards the handicapped sibling. The research question for this study was: (1) Is there a difference in the levels of stress in siblings of handicapped children as indicated on the Child Anxiety Scale? The Null Hypothesis was: There is no difference in the level of stress as measured by the Child Anxiety Scale. Results of this research study indicate that siblings of the handicapped show a significantly high level of stress as indicated on the Child Anxiety Scale.
