“…Patterns of risk-taking were also observed to differ across college majors, likely influencing the results. Race and the importance of religion also emerged as significant predictors, suggesting, consistent with other study findings [45][46][47], that culture influences the formation of attitudes toward disabilities. Specifically, students identifying as Asian expressed more negative attitudes toward potential offspring with congenital disorders.…”

The purpose of this study was to examine attitudes toward the voluntary practice of eugenics among people with high-risk inheritable diseases and genetic disorders. Participants consisted of 426 students attending two large public universities in the south and southwestern regions of the United States. The study used the modified scale of attitudes toward mental retardation and eugenics, the risk-taking questionnaire, and the dimensions of religious ideology importance scale. A general linear model was tested to answer the research question. The results showed that the model was significant (p < 0.001; adjusted r2 of 0.078). Significant main effects were found in race [F (4,378) = 2.538, p = 0.04, η² = 0.026], risk avoidance [F (1,378) = 12.536, p < 0.001, η² = 0.032] and importance of religion [F (1,378) = 5.530, p = 0.019, η² = 0.014]. Cultural, ethnic, and religious variables influenced people's views toward disability. One's perception of both disability and its impact on quality of life will influence his or her feelings about eugenics and babies with congenital conditions.

“…Following the evidence from Rasker, ten Klooster, Dannenberg, Taal, & Burger (2008) and Brown et al (2009) we predict that the Psychology students will in general have more favourable views than the Science students on all four subscales.…”

“…In fact, studies have also established that a student's discipline ATTITUDES TOWARDS PEOPLE WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY can affect their attitude towards people with IDs. For example Rasker, ten Klooster, Dannenberg, Taal, & Burger (2008) and Brown et al (2009) established that the attitudes of the fourth-year students of Occupational Therapy were more positive than those of the firstyears of the same specialisation. The attitude of psychology students may have significant influence on the standard and quality of development of the services provided for people with ID which could be related to the fact that those students are expected to work (after graduation) with this sector.…”
