Area of Science:

  • Social Psychology
  • Disability Studies
  • Relationship Science

Background:

  • Limited research exists on partner selection criteria for adults with intellectual disabilities.
  • Previous studies focused on partner preferences in the general population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify key characteristics adults with intellectual disabilities value in a partner.
  • To explore the nuances of relationship formation within this demographic.

Main Methods:

  • In-depth interviews with 11 adults with intellectual disabilities in long-term relationships.
  • Hermeneutic phenomenology analysis guided by Van Manen's theory.

Main Results:

  • Relationships often form in segregated settings for individuals with intellectual disabilities.
  • Core desires include love, kindness, and companionship.
  • Attributes like financial security, social status, and intelligence were less valued.

Conclusions:

  • The study highlights the social isolation of adults with intellectual disabilities.
  • Relationship expectations are influenced by a shared history and culture shaped by disability and support needs.
