Description

The role of interpretation for parents by children of deaf adults (CODA) affects their mental development. Some CODA take a long time to progress from conflicting feelings during their adolescence to psychological independence from their parents in adulthood. In this study, we explored the factors affecting long psychological weaning by CODA making use of type II quantification methods. The CODA (N=23) were divided into two groups based on items gleaned from two previous studies, one using semi-structured interviews and the other using a morale scale: a normal group (N=18) and a long psychological weaning group (N=5). The main results of this study indicated that factors of confusion and dissatisfaction in adolescence were strongly related to long psychological weaning in children of deaf parents, in addition to conscious protectiveness of parents and experience of interpretation in childhood.
