This book was released on 2013 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Individuals' feelings, beliefs and attitudes toward people with disabilities have an influence on their willingness to engage in the social relationship with people with disabilities such as forming friendship at the workplace or romantic relationship with people with disabilities. This study explored the attitudes of students toward people with disabilities and their attitudes in the social context of dating, marriage, and work. The study is a cross-sectional survey design. The sample in this study was drawn using convenient sampling. The survey was administered to 575 undergraduate and graduate students at Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIUC). The researcher examined the influence of students' gender, their previous contact with people with disabilities, cultural factor, and disability status on the general attitudes and students' attitudes toward people with disabilities in various social contexts. The study also assessed the relationship between students' attitudes toward people with disabilities and attitudes toward people with disabilities in various social contexts. Two scales were used to assess students' attitudes in this study which include the Scale of Attitudes toward Disabled Persons (SADP-R) and Disability Social Relations Generalized Disability Scale (DSRGDS). The first instrument measured students' general disability attitude and the second instrument measured students' attitude in the social domain of dating, marriage, and work. In terms of general disability attitude, female students expressed more positive attitudes than male students. International students were found to have more positive attitudes than American students. Students who had previous contact with people with disabilities and students who indicated having a disability had more favorable attitudes toward people with disabilities in general. Based on the multiple regression analysis results, gender, cultural factor (citizenship), disability status, and prior contact (intensity of the relationship) were found to be significant predictors of students' general attitudes toward persons with disability at SIUC. Results of the study provided information about the attitudes of students in various social contexts. Female students had more favorable attitudes toward people with disabilities than male students in the context of dating, marriage, and work. Results showed international students had more favorable attitudes in various social contexts than American students. Those who have indicated having previous contact with people with disabilities and having a disability were likely to have more positive attitudes in the social context than those with no prior contact and without a disability. Hierarchical regression analysis was conducted to determine predictors that significantly affect the attitudes of SIUC students in various social contexts. The results revealed that gender, citizenship, disability status, prior contact with people with disabilities (intensity of the relationship with people with disabilities), and their self-reported general disability attitudes (the SADP-R scores) were predictors that significantly improved the ability to predict the DSRGDS scores. Correlation analyses result indicated a significant relationship between SIUC students' attitudes toward people with disabilities in general and attitudes in various social contexts. Understanding the relative importance of disability attitude in various social contexts will add to the existing body of research and literature specific to disability attitude in rehabilitation counseling and may assist in the development of appropriate training to improve disability awareness and education.

Download or read book A Cross cultural Comparison of Attitudes Toward Persons with Disabilities College Students in Japan and the United States written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three factors were compared with regard to attitudes toward people with disabilities: (1) culture, (2) amount of contact, and (3) type of relationship. Participants included 111 college students majoring in Social Work or Psychology in the U.S. and 118 college students majoring in Social Policy and Administration in Japan. The Attitudes Towards Disabled Persons Scale (ATDP) (Yuker & Block, 1986) was used to measure attitudes. No significant relationships were found between attitudes toward people with disabilities and culture, nor the amount of contact. A significant relationship was found between the type of relationship and attitudes toward people with disabilities among students in the U.S., particularly among those who had a positive relationship with close friends. The implications for future training are discussed.

This book was released on 2021-01-05 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2020 in the subject Sociology - Work, Education, Organisation, , language: English, abstract: The general objective of this study is to examine the socio-economic challenge of students with disability in the University of Gondar in the case of Maraki campus. According to world report on Disability, more than one billion humans or 15% of the world’s population stay with some shape of disability, of whom, nearly 200 million ride considerable difficulties in functioning. In the years ahead, incapacity will be an even larger situation because its incidence is on the rise. This is due to getting older populations and the greater danger of disability in older people as nicely as the global increase in continual fitness prerequisites such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer and mental fitness problems. People with disability are considered ugly, and they are not welcome in society. People say they have the works of the spirit in them. Because of society‘s influence, a family with a child who has disability considers this child as a burden. In most places, a family hides their child for fear of being outcasts in the village. They would not consider them as useful to the community. Some think they are intellectually impaired too. In most cases, disabled children grow up learning from their parents that they are not worthy of mixing with other kids their age. The children accept the norm and believe they are cursed and under the punishment of God. People with bodily disabilities have skilled slender chances to enjoy college environments or practices due to fewer priorities given by way of academic providers to problems that might also guide the disabled in particular in developing nations in areas such as curriculums, instructing and studying materials, infrastructure, unique programs such as sports and games, environmental troubles and the normal high-quality of education. According to the Education for All (EFA) Global Monitoring Report 2010 reaching the marginalized youngsters with disabilities remains one of the most important problems leading to huge exclusion of the group from nice schooling.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the attitudes of first-year college students toward people with disabilities and to compare the attitudes of students in majors with direct patient care to those students who were not. SUBJECTS: Participants included 187 students between the ages of 18 and 20 who were entering their first year of college at Springfield College in Springfield, MA. Subjects were excluded from the study if they were less than 18 years of age or if they failed to fully complete the survey packet. METHODS: Subjects were provided with 7 pictures of individuals with physical disabilities. They provided a written response to what they saw in no more than 2 sentences for each. A demographic questionnaire was also completed that included age, sex, race, and level of exposure to disabilities. The response sheet was scored independently by two of the researchers and a total score, ranging between 0 and 7, was given using the Use of Person-First Language Scale (UPFLS). ANALYSIS: Descriptive statistics obtained a demographic profile of the subjects. Males made up 54.5% of the sample population; 45.5% were females. Race/Ethnicity consisted of3.2% African American, 1.6% Asian, 92.5% Caucasian, .5% Hispanic, and 2.1% 'other'. Health Science Majors made up 19.8% of the population and 80.2% were Non Health Science Majors. Of those sampled 51.8% reported being exposed to disability through media, 86.1 % reported having been exposed through a few interactions with people with a disability, 29.9% reported having a mend or a relative with a disability, I person lived with someone with a disability, and I person had a disability. A Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare usage of person first language between indicated majors. A two way ANOVA was performed to identify an interaction affect between sexes within major. Secondary analysis on data was done using a Mann-Whitney U test to evaluate the difference in use of person first language between males and females. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in the use of person first language between Health Science and Non Health Science Majors (Z Score -0.989). The Authors fail to reject the null hypothesis, which stated there would be no difference in the usage of PFL between health science majors and non health science majors. A significant difference was seen in the UPFLS score between males and females (Z Score -3.507). Males had an average score (0- 7) of 2.52, females scored an average of 3.76. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: While no difference was found between health science and non health science majors, the total use of PFL was found to be generally poor. Also, female health science majors demonstrated the highest mean UPFLS score (3.91) and male health science majors had the lowest mean UPFLS Score (2.43). With this in mind, prior research has shown that education and exposure are the two key elements to improving attitudes and the use of PFL. Research has also shown that when health care workers use disabling language they can impair an individual's rehabilitation potential. By incorporating education and exposure into their curricula, higher learning institutions may produce more prepared, sensitive, and most importantly, effective health care providers.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This research explored the attitudes of McGill University undergraduate students toward people with physical disabilities. First and third year students in six different faculties were further subdivided into a Human Service discipline which included Education, Social Work, and Nursing students, and a non Human Service discipline which included Management, Engineering, and Agriculture students. The effects of gender, having had previous contact with persons with a disability, and having had a course on the topic of disability on attitudes toward people with disabilities were also examined. One hundred and forty-four women and 79 men served as the subjects for this study. Subjects completed the Attitude Toward Disabled Persons Scale (ATDP) Form B, and descriptive information giving the variables under investigation (gender, faculty, etc.). The analysis of the data collected showed that there was a significant positive difference in attitudes among students following a Human Service discipline than students following a non Human Service discipline. There was a significant interaction effect between faculty and year of study with Agriculture, Engineering, and Nursing student scores increasing in their third year, and Management, Education, and Social Work student scores decreasing in their third year. No significant differences on attitudes toward people who are physically disabled were found according to faculty enrolled in, year of study, gender, previous contact with persons with disabilities, or previous course on the topic of disability." --
