    Area of Science:

    • Social Psychology
    • Attitude Measurement

    Background:

    • Attitudes toward individuals with physical disabilities are complex and influenced by beliefs.
    • Existing frameworks for attitude measurement require validation in diverse populations.
    • Understanding specific beliefs is crucial for accurate attitude assessment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the composition and structure of attitudes towards the physically disabled.
    • To apply Fishbein's theoretical framework to attitude measurement.
    • To assess the validity of the proposed attitude measurement approach.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized Fishbein's model of attitude formation (beliefs + evaluation).
    • Employed the Semantic Differential Technique to assess beliefs about disabled persons.

  • Developed scales for belief evaluation and probability dimensions.

    • Main Results:

    • A high correlation (r = .91) was found between Fishbein-estimated attitude scores and obtained scores.
    • Significant correlation (r = .78) observed between Fishbein scores and the Attitude Towards Disabled Persons (ATDP) scale.
    • Findings support the predictive validity of Fishbein's model for attitudes toward the disabled.

    Conclusions:

    • Fishbein's model provides a robust framework for measuring attitudes toward the physically disabled.
    • Assessing attitudes in relation to specific roles is more informative than general attitude measurement.
    • The study highlights the importance of belief-based attitude assessment in social psychology research.
