“…It was found that people with intellectual disabilities are perceived much more negatively than people with other types of disabilities (visually, hearing or motor impaired), regardless of sex, level of education or profession (doctors, nurses, white‐collar workers, manual workers). However, the attitudes of people without disabilities towards people with disabilities seem to be modified by other factors such as unpredictability of behaviour, visibility of dysfunction, limited ability to communicate, difficulties in self‐care, low degree of independence and self‐reliance (manifested through initiative and freedom of action) (Kossewska, 2003). These factors emphasise low levels of synergy and productivity as determinants of the explicit valuing of people with disabilities.…”

The aim of this article is to present explicit and implicit attitudes of occupational therapy (OT) staff towards people with intellectual disabilities. The study was conducted on a group of 77 OT employees. To explore the explicit attitude, the Conditional Respect for Persons with Disabilities Questionnaire (Kurtek, Roczniki Psychologiczne, 2018, 4, 327–344) was used, while to estimate the implicit attitude, the Intellectual Disability Attitudes Implicit Association Test was applied (Kurtek, Roczniki Psychologiczne, 2021, 1, 43–64). At the explicit level, OT staff tended to tolerate negative and overrate positive behaviours of people with intellectual disabilities, which indicates a tendency to favour the individuals. However, the opposite devalorizing tendency was observed at the implicit dimension, which indicates aversive ableism. Although the study confirmed the independence of the two dimensions of the personnel's attitude, relationships were observed between the disclosure of negativity towards antagonistic behaviours of the people with intellectual disabilities and a decrease in the level of their implicit devaluation.
