Abstract

Literature shows that public perceptions toward people with intellectual disability (ID) tend to be negative, perhaps more so than toward any other population with disabilities, causing severe consequences on the quality of life of these people. Understanding factors associated with these attitudes may contribute to better integration of the ID population into society. This study focuses on the predictive role of school-age peer rejection and contemporaneous familial support on attitudes toward people with ID. Specifically, it aims to identify distinct profiles of people who experienced peer rejection during their school years and who experienced various levels of familial support during the rejection period, and to examine the disparities between these profiles regarding attitudes toward people with ID. An additional goal is to examine whether resilience can mediate the association between profiles of peer-rejected individuals and their attitudes toward individuals with ID. The research sample comprised 1063 Israeli adults reporting various levels of peer rejection during school years. Cluster analysis revealed two profiles of peer-rejected individuals that significantly differ in the level of familial support provided in the face of peer rejection. In accordance with the hypotheses, attitudes of peer-rejected individuals with poor familial support were more negative than those with high familial support and the mediating effect of resilience was significant. Findings emphasize the protective role of familial support in the face of peer rejection, contributing to the emerging literature that deals with the long-term effects of peer rejection and poor resiliency resources on negative attitudes toward out-groups.

被同伴排斥者的概况:他们对智障人群的态度以及复原力的中介作用。
文献表明,公众对智障人士的看法往往是负面的,可能比对其他任何残疾人群的看法都要负面,这对这些人的生活质量造成了严重影响。了解与这些态度相关的因素可能有助于智障人士更好地融入社会。本研究的重点是学龄期同伴排斥和当时家庭支持对智障人士态度的预测作用。具体来说,本研究旨在确定在学生时代经历过同伴排斥和在排斥期间经历过不同程度的家庭支持的人群的不同特征,并研究这些特征之间在对待智障人士的态度上的差异。研究的另一个目的是考察抗挫折能力是否能调节同伴排斥与他们对智障人士的态度之间的关联。研究样本由 1063 名以色列成年人组成,他们在求学期间报告了不同程度的同伴排斥现象。聚类分析显示,在面对同伴排斥时所提供的家庭支持水平方面,被同伴排斥者有两种明显不同的特征。与假设相符的是,与家庭支持程度高的人相比,家庭支持程度低的被同伴拒绝者的态度更为消极,而复原力的中介效应非常显著。研究结果强调了家庭支持在面对同伴排斥时的保护作用,为新出现的关于同伴排斥和抗逆力差对外界群体消极态度的长期影响的文献做出了贡献。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Genetic Psychology is devoted to research and theory in the field of developmental psychology. It encompasses a life-span approach, so in addition to manuscripts devoted to infancy, childhood, and adolescence, articles on adulthood and aging are also published. We accept submissions in the area of educational psychology as long as they are developmental in nature. Submissions in cross cultural psychology are accepted, but they must add to our understanding of human development in a comparative global context. Applied, descriptive, and qualitative articles are occasionally accepted, as are replications and refinements submitted as brief reports. The review process for all submissions to The Journal of Genetic Psychology consists of double blind review.
