Description
The purpose of this study was to bring together several lines of research that focus on self-report scales of attitudes regarding personal discomfort at the prospect of interacting with someone with a disability, exploring whether many observed attitudinal variables (indicators) relate to common themes (factors) described in previous research. We used confirmatory factor analysis to test a theoretical factor structure among a novel population of experienced health professionals.Back to Session: Welcome Reception and Poster Session
