    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the second-order factor structure of Siller's Disability Factor Scale--General.

    • To explore the relationships between these attitudinal factors.

    Main Methods:

    • Factor analysis was employed.
    • Data were collected from 200 college students.
    • The seven attitudinal factors of the Disability Factor Scale--General were analyzed.

    Main Results:

    • Two major second-order factors emerged from the analysis.
    • These factors were identified as Net Affect and Authoritarian Virtuousness.
    • Intrafactor and interfactor relationships were further investigated.

    Conclusions:

    • The study provides empirical support for a two-factor structure underlying attitudes toward disability.
    • Net Affect and Authoritarian Virtuousness represent significant dimensions of these attitudes.
    • Findings contribute to a nuanced understanding of disability perception and intergroup relations.
