    Mentally retarded individuals and their supervisors differ in evaluating job performance. Self-assessments were most positive, highlighting discrepancies in assessing skills and social interactions in competitive employment settings.

    Area of Science:

    • Applied Behavior Analysis
    • Vocational Rehabilitation
    • Social Psychology

    Background:

    • Social validation is key for assessing treatment acceptability.
    • Evaluating work performance in competitive employment for individuals with intellectual disabilities requires robust methods.
    • Understanding rater perspectives is crucial for effective support.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze social validation of work performance among mentally retarded individuals in competitive employment.
    • To compare evaluations from managers, supervisors, co-workers, and self-assessments.
    • To identify discrepancies in assessing job skills and interpersonal relationships.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized social validation methodology.
    • Collected work evaluations from multiple rater groups: managers, shift supervisors, nonhandicapped co-workers, and the mentally retarded workers themselves.

  • Analyzed differences across these rater groups.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant differences were found across rater groups regarding worker evaluations.
    • Mentally retarded individuals rated their own work most positively.
    • Disagreements were prominent in evaluating job skills and interpersonal relationships.

    Conclusions:

    • Rater perspectives significantly influence the social validation of work performance for individuals with intellectual disabilities.
    • Discrepancies highlight the need for careful consideration of "consumer validation" and concordance in supported employment.
    • Further research should explore methods to improve agreement and ensure accurate assessment of vocational outcomes.
