- W1585301869 abstract "To determine how mental retardation and related issues are portrayed in juvenile literature, sixty-eight children's and adolescent books that included characters with mental retardation were analyzed. The majority of the characters were considered supportive (n = 47, 61%), rather than the main character of the book. In addition, most of the characters were static (n = 42, 54 %), meaning the character was believable, but did not change throughout the course of the story. Few of the books were written from the perspective of the character with mental retardation (n = 9, 13%). In addition to analysis of the character with mental retardation, themes relating to the relationship among characters with and without mental retardation and character changes within the individuals with mental retardation were examined. The books were also evaluated in terms of topics in the field of mental retardation (e.g., schooling, employment, residence) included as part of the story.
