| Abstract: |
This study examined the affective and behavioral concerns of male and female adults in the areas of cognition, ego adaptability, and sexuality. Participants were given two Likert-type questionnaires: affective and behavioral. Three twoway analyses of covariance (ANCOVA) compared the independent variables of gender and injury status to the dependent variables of cognition, ego adaptability, and sexuality. Results suggest that non-Traumatic Brain Injured (TBI) participants have more positive feelings about their cognition, ego adaptability, and sexuality than TBI participants. It was found that although female participants without TBI have more positive feelings about their sexuality than male participants without TBI, the opposite is true for TBI participants. Male participants with TBI had the most concerns about their sexuality of all four groups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
