Hypothesizes the opposite pole of this dimension, in higher performing group homes, would be that staff regard residents positively. Provides three in-depth case studies of group homes in Victoria, Australia which demonstrate the validity of the hypothesis, as the "overwhelming pattern was that staff regarded residents positively, as members of a common but diverse humanity."
