This study investigated the attitudes of Taiwanese employees toward individuals and their supported coworkers with intellectual disabilities (ID). The findings indicated that the general attitudes of Taiwanese employees toward individuals with ID and their affective reactions toward their coworkers with ID were positive. These discoveries were contrary to previous beliefs that Taiwanese people tended to have societal stigma toward people and coworkers with ID. The outcomes also showed that the participants who had longer work contact with their coworkers with ID tended to have more positive attitudes toward them. Therefore, promoting supported employment trainings and opportunities for qualified people with ID was recommended.

The purpose of this study is to examine and describe the perceptions of Taiwanese mothers who have children with mild to moderate mental retardation as their children enter their teenage years (13-15 years of age). The focus is on whether these mothers' attitudes toward their children and other individuals with disabilities changed after they had experience in raising their own children with disabilities. The results of this qualitative study indicated that having experience in raising children with disabilities led participants to have a more positive outlook toward their children and others with disabilities. In addition, the results of this study demonstrated that the majority of interviewees believed that karma was a factor in their young teenagers being born with disabilities.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and related technologies have been employed to simulate human decision-making processes to improve people's lives. Accordingly, AI knowledge and related competence are crucial, especially for students pursuing information technology (IT) and computer-related degrees, since they will eventually be the next generation of AI designers or users. While the importance of AI technology and its applications have been widely discussed and explored, AI technology in Vietnam is in a nascent stage due to the shortage of skilled experts and the reluctance to adopt AI applications by businesses. Thus, the primary objective of this study was to explore the knowledge of and competence in AI among Vietnamese university IT students. A total of 206 university students from software engineering and computer science programs participated in this study. The results indicate the need for a focused effort to establish a strong foundation for a comprehensive and accessible AI mandatory course plan for IT students.

The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine and describe whether having a child with mental retardation influences marital and sibling relationships within Taiwanese families. The outcomes of this study indicated that the majority of interviewees had an improved marital relationship after having a child with a disability. In addition, this study also demonstrated that the relative age of children without disabilities influenced interaction patterns between siblings with and without disabilities. Furthermore, the information obtained from research participants also illustrated that the general attitudes toward people with disabilities held by Taiwanese changed in a more positive direction. The results of this study can serve as a resource that may help special education teachers, rehabilitation service providers, social workers, and family counselors to gain a better understanding of the Taiwanese population.
