- Abstract
Numerous laws have been enacted to protect the civil rights of individuals with disabilities, including the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, yet discrimination against individuals with disabilities continues. Per Girli, Sari, Kirkim, and Narin (2016), unfavorable perceptions are a cause of discrimination. Promoting intergroup contact (Pettigrew & Tropp, 2008) using different kinds of information could change perceptions (Dieckmann, Slovic, & Peters, 2009). This project’s purpose was to test whether statistical information, narrative, or a combination were effective in reducing negative stereotyping when compared to no information. Undergraduate students from the University of Indianapolis completed the Attitudes Toward Disabled Persons measure (ATDP) after random assignment to a control or to a treatment where they received only statistics, only narrative, or both types of information about disability discrimination (Yuker & Block, 1986). Treatment conditions did not result in more positive views than the control condition as hypothesized. However, participants having disabilities did have different responses to the conditions than those without disabilities although there was no significant interaction between regular contact and treatment condition. The hope is that healthcare practitioners and disability advocates will use the results of this study to understand what might reduce negative stereotyping of individuals with disabilities.
