The paper reviews research trends and findings on the | |
development of personality in deaf individuals. The first | |
section, "Adolescent and Adult Deaf Personalities," | |
focuses on studies in the psychological literature that | |
tend to promulgate stereotypical views of deaf people by | |
reflecting researcher bias rather than researcher | |
findings. The second section, "Personality Development in | |
Deaf Children," examines in depth the consistent finding | |
that deaf children who grow up in deaf families generally | |
have better social, emotional, and cognitive development | |
than do deaf children from hearing families. In the final | |
section, "Implications for Parents of Deaf Children," a | |
planned intervention called a "Sensory Integration | |
Program for Deaf Infants" is recommended. Hearing parents | |
of deaf children are encouraged to learn from deaf | |
parents their ways of touching, communicating, and | |
playing with young deaf children. Contains 85 references. | |
