Abstract

The aim of this study is to compare responsibility between siblings of students with and without intellectual disabilities. The statistical population of this research includes the whole adolescents (aged between 12 and 18) who have siblings with and without intellectual disabilities in Shiraz city. The sample size is 170 adolescents (80 adolescents having siblings with intellectual disabilities and 90adolescents with normal siblings) that are selected by purposeful sampling. Adolescents' Responsibility Questionnaire is used for measuring the responsibility. Analysis of the data using two-way analysis of variance test shows that the responsibility of siblings of students with intellectual disabilities is significantly more than the responsibility of siblings of students without intellectual disabilities. Moreover multiple variance analysis shows that except loyalty, all the other minor scales of responsibility in siblings of students with intellectual disabilities are significantly higher than sibling of normal students. According to the findings, it is suggested that the responsibility model in siblings of students with intellectual disabilities should be studied and used by normal families so that their children become more responsible
