Book excerpt: Negative attitudes are a major barrier to the equality of people with disabilities throughout the world. This study explored the relationship between demographic factors and attitudes toward people with disabilities among Saudi university students studying in the U.S. Demographic variables--including age, gender, level of education, major, duration of time living in the U.S., disability status, prior contact with a disability, and the intensity of such relationships--have been identified as predictors of positive and negative attitudes in previous studies but had never been evaluated in the Saudi population. Doing so would open a new avenue of research and inform government policy. The data could inform researchers and help develop culturally appropriate evidence-based practices for rehabilitation counselors, educators, and policymakers. The study used a quantitative non-experimental descriptive cross-sectional survey design. The results suggested educational programs for Saudi students related to disability awareness may improve male Saudi attitudes. Rather than improving attitudes among Saudi students, duration of time in the U.S. may have a negative impact, in that those who had been in the U.S. the least amount of time appeared to have more favorable attitudes. Another interesting finding was that Saudi students with disabilities (compared to those without) appeared to hold more pessimistic attitudes toward others with disabilities. These findings are explored through a cultural lens to understand their impact on Saudi rehabilitation counselors and people with disabilities.

This book was released on 1992 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation examined the impact of American culture and other variables related to Saudi Arabian culture on the attitudes of Saudi students in the United States toward Saudi women's participation in the labor force, the role of women as housewives and homemakers, women's associations in Saudi Arabia, equality between men and women, and female personality traits. To estimate the impact of American culture on the attitudes of Saudi students in America, they were compared with the attitudes of Saudi students in Saudi Arabia toward Saudi women's participation in the labor force which were investigated by Al-Otaiby (1987). The means and standard deviations for each item in the scale measuring attitudes toward Saudi women's participation in the labor force were utilized. The comparison showed that Saudi students in the United States had more liberal attitudes than Saudi students in Saudi Arabia.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Individuals' feelings, beliefs and attitudes toward people with disabilities have an influence on their willingness to engage in the social relationship with people with disabilities such as forming friendship at the workplace or romantic relationship with people with disabilities. This study explored the attitudes of students toward people with disabilities and their attitudes in the social context of dating, marriage, and work. The study is a cross-sectional survey design. The sample in this study was drawn using convenient sampling. The survey was administered to 575 undergraduate and graduate students at Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIUC). The researcher examined the influence of students' gender, their previous contact with people with disabilities, cultural factor, and disability status on the general attitudes and students' attitudes toward people with disabilities in various social contexts. The study also assessed the relationship between students' attitudes toward people with disabilities and attitudes toward people with disabilities in various social contexts. Two scales were used to assess students' attitudes in this study which include the Scale of Attitudes toward Disabled Persons (SADP-R) and Disability Social Relations Generalized Disability Scale (DSRGDS). The first instrument measured students' general disability attitude and the second instrument measured students' attitude in the social domain of dating, marriage, and work. In terms of general disability attitude, female students expressed more positive attitudes than male students. International students were found to have more positive attitudes than American students. Students who had previous contact with people with disabilities and students who indicated having a disability had more favorable attitudes toward people with disabilities in general. Based on the multiple regression analysis results, gender, cultural factor (citizenship), disability status, and prior contact (intensity of the relationship) were found to be significant predictors of students' general attitudes toward persons with disability at SIUC. Results of the study provided information about the attitudes of students in various social contexts. Female students had more favorable attitudes toward people with disabilities than male students in the context of dating, marriage, and work. Results showed international students had more favorable attitudes in various social contexts than American students. Those who have indicated having previous contact with people with disabilities and having a disability were likely to have more positive attitudes in the social context than those with no prior contact and without a disability. Hierarchical regression analysis was conducted to determine predictors that significantly affect the attitudes of SIUC students in various social contexts. The results revealed that gender, citizenship, disability status, prior contact with people with disabilities (intensity of the relationship with people with disabilities), and their self-reported general disability attitudes (the SADP-R scores) were predictors that significantly improved the ability to predict the DSRGDS scores. Correlation analyses result indicated a significant relationship between SIUC students' attitudes toward people with disabilities in general and attitudes in various social contexts. Understanding the relative importance of disability attitude in various social contexts will add to the existing body of research and literature specific to disability attitude in rehabilitation counseling and may assist in the development of appropriate training to improve disability awareness and education.

Download or read book A Cross-cultural Comparison of Attitudes Toward Persons with Disabilities: College Students in Japan and the United States written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three factors were compared with regard to attitudes toward people with disabilities: (1) culture, (2) amount of contact, and (3) type of relationship. Participants included 111 college students majoring in Social Work or Psychology in the U.S. and 118 college students majoring in Social Policy and Administration in Japan. The Attitudes Towards Disabled Persons Scale (ATDP) (Yuker & Block, 1986) was used to measure attitudes. No significant relationships were found between attitudes toward people with disabilities and culture, nor the amount of contact. A significant relationship was found between the type of relationship and attitudes toward people with disabilities among students in the U.S., particularly among those who had a positive relationship with close friends. The implications for future training are discussed.

Book excerpt: Cultural differences in disability attitudes significantly impact perceptions of and interactions with persons with disabilities. This study explored the multidimensional disability attitudes of the international college student's towards persons with disabilities and their attitudes toward educational accommodations. The researcher also examined the relationship between these variables and the following demographic factors: sex, age, country of origin, religion, college major, and level of college study. The study is a cross-sectional survey design. The effective sample of the study was 211 enrolled undergraduate and graduate international students at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. These scales were used for data collection: (a) Multidimensional Attitudes Scale toward Persons with Disabilities (MAS), (b) General Attitudes toward College Educational Accommodation; (c) Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale; and (d) a demographic questionnaire. In this study, descriptive analyses and a multiple regression analysis computed to analyze all test measures and demographic variables. The results of this study provide information about the international student's general attitude towards disability as well as the extent in which demographic variables may shape attitudes. In the first hypothesis only contact with person with disability was a significant predictor of the attitudes F1, 174 = 22.324, p

Book Synopsis Understanding Educators' Attitudes Towards and Efficacy to Include Students with ASD and Other Disabilities in Saudi Arabia by : Mansour Hussain Aljobran
Download or read book Understanding Educators' Attitudes Towards and Efficacy to Include Students with ASD and Other Disabilities in Saudi Arabia written by Mansour Hussain Aljobran and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study contributes to a vibrant conversation in inclusive education in Saudi Arabia by focusing on the attitudes of primary school principals and teachers, and teacher perceived efficacy. In order to complete the research objectives, the following have been investigated: (1) the attitudes of principals and teachers towards the inclusion of students with disabilities with special emphasis on students diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), (2) the relationship between their attitudes and the perceived efficacy level needed by teachers to teach students with disabilities including those diagnosed with ASD, (3) the influence of certain demographic variables on school principals and teachers' attitudes and teachers perceived efficacy towards the inclusion of students with disabilities including those diagnosed with ASD, and (4) the facilitators and barriers perceived by the school principals and teachers that would impact the successful implementation of inclusive education in Saudi Arabia.Using an exploratory quantitative research approach, data was collected from 83 school principals and 1,529 teachers from inclusive primary schools in Al-Dammam and Al-Ahsa in the Eastern region of Saudi Arabia. The results indicated that school principals had moderately positive attitudes towards the inclusion of students with disabilities in regular primary schools but were least positive about including students with severe disabilities in a regular classroom. The findings further revealed that school principals were not very positive about including students diagnosed with ASD in regular primary schools. Importantly, lack of adequate professional education and knowledge in Autism Spectrum disorder and administrative challenges significantly influenced their attitudes towards the inclusion of students diagnosed with ASD. In addition, school principals who had experience teaching students with disabilities had more positive attitudes towards inclusion than those with no such experience. Although the school teachers were generally positive about inclusive education, they demonstrated the least positive attitudes on their willingness to adapt curriculum to meet the individual needs of students. Demographic variables such as gender, educational area, experience teaching students with disabilities, contact with a person with a disability, and training to teach students with disabilities have influenced the differences in attitudes; for example, male teachers reported more positive attitudes than female teachers towards student with disabilities. The school teachers of Saudi Arabia showed the most positive attitudes to manage the disruptive behaviours of students diagnosed with ASD. Teachers generally perceived high levels of efficacy to teach students with disabilities including those diagnosed with ASD. The findings also demonstrate a strong relationship between teachers' attitudes and perceived efficacy. Teachers' perceived efficacy was also influenced by several demographic variables, which were gender, age, educational area, years of teaching experience and contact with a person with a disability; for example, male teachers had higher levels of perceived efficacy towards the inclusion of students with disabilities than the female teachers.These findings shed light on the complexity as well as opportunities for developing a robust and effective inclusive education in Saudi Arabia. In light of the findings several implications and recommendations were proposed for implementation to improve inclusive education in Saudi Arabia, the most important being targeted professional development programs for principals to develop their knowledge, and their administrative and instructional skills, and to apply those when running inclusive programs in their schools. This study will help policy makers, including the Education Ministry of Saudi Arabia, in developing pragmatic guidelines for inclusive practices in Saudi Arabia.
