In April to May 2021, 571 adults with intellectual disabilities were interviewed. Participants most commonly used the Internet for being with family and friends, social media or doing online activities with othe…

Perceptions of people with mild intellectual disability and their family members about family‐based social capital in the Netherlands
Families play an important role in the lives of people with intellectual disability as they do for everyone. However, little research has addressed the views of people with intellectual disability about their families by using self-report. Individual family members may hold different views about their family relationships. Therefore, we used a social capital theoretical perspective to examine (a) how perceptions of people with mild intellectual d…
Across culture, mind and history
This editorial highlights the contributions of Gustav Jahoda to cross-cultural and cultural psychology. Gustav’s broad and deep scholarship, focusing on culture, mind and history, crossed disciplinary boundaries of psychology, anthropology and sociology in his attempts to understand human psyche and concrete activities in various situations and locations.

Non-directive semi-structured interviews took place within the National Health Service settings, and transcripts were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Four inter-related themes were identified: hindering indepe…

Living with Stigma and the Self-Perceptions of People with Mild Intellectual Disabilities: Living with Stigma
There is now overwhelming evidence concerning the awareness people with moderate to mild intellectual disabilities have about the stigma they experience in their lives. However, there is still controversy about the potential impact of stigma on their self-perceptions. This article will draw on findings from an ethnographic study to show that even when individuals have difficulty expressing their views verbally, their actions can provide evidence …
Contingent reinforcement or defending the self? A review of evolving models of aggression in people with mild learning disabilities
This paper examines the changing approaches to working with people with a moderate to mild learning disability, who are frequently aggressive. Long‐held assumptions about the lack of inter‐personal understanding and impulsiveness continue to play a central role in clinical assessment and intervention for this group. Yet, there is a lack of controlled studies indicating the influence of such factors in frequent aggression. The dominant behavioural…
Activities of People with Moderate to Severe Learning Difficulties: Living with purpose or just killing time
In this study, intensive observational methods were used to examine the daily flow of activity of 12 people with moderate to severe learning difficulties living in long-stay hospital, and 12 people living in community based hostels. This covered the participants' full waking day and included weekend observations. The qualitative findings demonstrated how the participants played an active part in determining their own lifestyles. A number of more …
Quality of Life for People with Learning Difficulties Moving to Community Homes
Research concerning people with learning difficulties who have left institutions has typically investigated how well people ‘adapt’ to life in the community, and has often ignored users' own perceptions of the changes in their quality of life resulting from the move. In this study, eight people with learning difficulties who moved from a hospital and seven people who moved from parental homes to live in staffed homes in the community were intervi…
