[Empirical comparative study on attitudes of dysmelic and non-disabled young people in the process of choice of occupation (author's transl)].

The present study deals with the question whether there are differences between disabled (n = 83) and non-disabled (n = 32) subjects concerning their ratings of (a) their subjective confidence in their potential for occupational activities and (b) the anticipated requirements of their intended jobs. No statistical differences have been found. Thalidomide-affected subjects however tend to choose an occupation the anticipated requirements of which are identical with their own subjective confidence in potential skills while ablebodied subjects ascribe themselves a wider range of potential skills their intended jobs. No statistical differences have been found. Thalidomide-affected subjects however tend to choose an occupation the anticipated requirements of which are identical with their own subjective confidence in potential skills while ablebodied subjects ascribe themselves a wider range of potential skills their intended jobs. No statistical differences have been found. Thalidomide-affected subjects however tend to choose an occupation the anticipated requirements of which are identical with their own subjective confidence in potential skills while ablebodied subjects ascribe themselves a wider range of potential skills and abilities, beyond those required by the chosen job. The second emphasis of the study dealt with the effects of the "induced" occurrence of events unrelated to the training itself on the remaining preparedness for activity (frustration tolerance). Disabled subjects demonstrate significantly higher frustration ratings in the "reactions of attachment figures" factor than the control subjects. This does however not diminish their preparedness for activity (i.e. to train for the chosen occupation). The study is based on the choice of occupation behaviour questionnaires by Bender-Szymanski (1976).

[Vocational integration of physically handicapped persons--a regional study in the Regensburg district].

The present study had been aimed at tracing possible reasons for insufficient placement of people with physical disablement in the open labour market in the Regensburg region, at gaining insights on the prerequisites of and potential for improving vocational integration as well as at clarifying the relevance of alternative work and employment opportunities in terms of halfway and sheltered settings. Based on a structured questioning schedule, interviews were carried out with 10 experts, 32 physically disabled individuals and 30 employers concerning their placement notions and experience. Generally speaking, it was in particular found that insufficient placement cannot simply be attributed to economic trends; the groups interviewed, rather, differ in some of their underlying assumptions and expectations, a fact which impacts negatively on the integration process. Interaction of disabled and nondisabled persons hence requires greater attention. For the disabled, along with their educational-occupational qualifications, acquisition of communication and social skills is crucial in vocational integration, whereas the companies, in particular small and medium-sized ones, are in need of better information and counselling as well as appropriate supports to be provided by job or placement assistants when hiring physically disabled persons.
