Regular-class students' attitudes toward integrated multiply handicapped peers. 1984

N Towfighy-Hooshyar, and H W Zingle

Regular-class students (N = 240) were questioned about their attitudes toward integrated multiply handicapped children. Factor analysis of the attitudes questionnaire revealed four dimensions of attitudes: casual-contact, contact-desire, deviance-tolerance, and peer-acceptance. The effects of sex, grade (or age), and integrated school experience on these dimensions were analyzed.
