“…Although the ATDP Scale is the best known and most widely used scale to measure attitudes towards people with disabilities, concerns have been raised about its hypothesized unidimensional structure, outdated items, and its susceptibility to socially desirable responses (Antonak 1980, Livneh 1985, Cannon & Szuhay 1986, Yuker 1986, Antonak & Livneh 1988, Speakman et al. 1994).…”

“…However, positive components in this study are also noted. Stewart (1988) offered specific reliability information about the instrument used, and provided a clear explanation of Speakman and Hoffman's (1979) false score notion as it related to his procedure of telling all subjects about the study ahead of time. Stewart also clearly defined the research question, procedures, and data analysis utilized, including significance testing.…”

Adviser: Martin Block, Ph.D. Paralympic School Day (PSD) is a disability awareness program that provides a platform for attitude change by raising awareness about disability and disability sport. The purpose of this study was to determine if PSD would have a positive impact on the attitudes of students without disabilities toward the inclusion of students with disabilities in physical education classes, including an exploration of the theoretical underpinnings of the PSD curriculum. The sample comprised of 143 sixth grade students at an Independent school located in New York City. The students were divided into two groups (experimental n = 71, control n = 72), with the experimental group receiving the half-day PSD treatment. All students responded three times to Siperstein's (2006) Adjective Checklist and Block's (1995) Children's Attitudes toward Integrated Physical Education-Revised (CAIPE-R) Questionnaire, which was used as a complete scale and then was divided into two subscales. Four ANCOVA tests were conducted, with the posttest score as the dependent variable, and the pretest score as the covariate. Independent variables were gender and PSD treatment, both including two levels: gender (male/female) and treatment (PSD/No PSD). Results indicated a significant PSD treatment effect across all four measures: Adjective Checklist (p = .046, Partial η² = .03); CAIPE-R (p = .002, Partial η² = .07); Inclusion subscale (p = .001, Partial η² = .08); and Sport Modification subscale (p = .027, Partial η² = .04). These results should be viewed with caution, as the effect sizes were low or moderate and the mean differences were slight. Results did not indicate a gender effect. Forward stepwise regression analyses indicated that competitiveness at the very high level (p = .026, Partial η² = .04), contact at home (p = .017, Partial η² = .04), and contact in general education (p = .022, Partial η² = .04) were significant variables that impacted attitudes negatively, but should be viewed with caution, as effect sizes were low and mean differences were slight. A Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) with a one-factor solution indicated that the fidelity criteria created for this study measured a single construct: Allport's (1954) contact theory.

“…Because the persons, in their attempt to formulate a performance that leads to pleasant and commonly accepted answers, may eventually present "fake" answers to make an impression. The specific form of the questionnaire has been tested for the degree of fakeability of the answers and it has been found that the scale is an authentic psychometric mean of measuring the attitudes of people towards disability (Speakman & Hoffmann, 1979).…”

Social environment consists of a vital place where all human beings can run their lives and participate in a multidimensional way in the daily activities of life. In that environment, people express their thoughts, feelings and behavior, developing in order to communicate and share their lives with the others. All these expressions consist attitudes that influence the way they co-exist with everyone in the society. Each member of the society possesses unique abilities and special needs and contribute in an important grade in the promotion of social living. Studying attitudes of individuals towards disability is useful as a key factor in integrating these individuals into society. The present study involved 150 people who completed the Attitudes Towards Persons with Disabilities (ATDP-Form B) scale. The results showed that overall a moderately positive attitude towards people with disabilities develops, without any differences between the groups in terms of gender, year of birth, educational level, contact with a friend or relative with a disability. Interpretations of the results are commented based on existing research.
