Attitudes of physical therapists in Wisconsin toward disabled persons

This article contains descriptive statistics on attitudes toward disabled persons of a population of physical therapist. The instrument used to measure attitudes was the Attitudes Toward Disabled Persons Scale-Form A. The population for this study was the 553 physical therapists listed in the 1976-77 Directory of the Wisconsin Chapter of the American Physical Therapy Association, and living in Wisconsin. From this population, a sample of 125 (22.5%) completed and returned the form. A table of normative data in the form of percentiles was developed, along with a table of descriptive statistics that include the median, the quartile deviation, and measures of skewness and kurtosis.
