dc.description.abstract | ABSTRACT: Two curricuJar approaches for modifying nonhandicapped high school students'
attitudes toward their exceptional peers were compared. One curriculum was structured around
categories of exceptionality (e.g., mental retardation, sensory impairments] while the other
focused on generic concepts, including values, conformity, individual differences, and labeling
effects. Each curriculum was presented over a 10-week period and the effects assessed via two
pencil-paper attitude evaluation scales. Results revealed that both curricula positively modified
students' attitudes, with subjects exposed to the categorical curriculum demonstrating significantly
greater attitude changes. The data are interpreted relative to the issue of labeling and the
most effective means of positively modifying attitudes toward handicapped persons. | |
