Interpersonal Relations of the Visually Handicapped in a Residence for the Blind

This thesis embodies the results of an investigation of a residence exclusively devoted to those who r blind.
Working within the theoretical perspective of symbolic interactionism, the primary focus of this study was to discover whether relationship existed between the pattern of group organization within the residence and the perception of the attitudes of the sighted towards the blind. Underlying its approach was the assumption that how the residents perceived the attitudes of the sighted was related to how they evaluated themselves. A second focus of this study was to determine the basis and extent of group formation within the residence. / Thesis / Master of Arts (MA)
