Abstract

Objective: This study investigated implicit bias towards people with disability and the relationship between implicit bias and personal values.

Method: A convenience sample of 146 people living in Australia completed an online survey that included the Portrait Values Questionnaire - Revised (PVQ-RR), experience with disability questions, and two Implicit Association Tests (IAT) that measured stereotypes of incompetency and coldness towards people with disability.

Results: There was a moderate IAT effect, with 80.1% of participants implicitly stereotyping people with disability as incompetent and 74.1% implicitly stereotyping people with disability as cold. Personal values of universalism-concern and universalism-tolerance were significantly positively correlated, and security-society was significantly negatively corelated with the Competence IAT. Universalism-concern and Self-transcendence were significantly positively correlated with the Warmth IAT. Higher scores on universalism-concern and if a person had a disability predicted lower implicit stereotyping of people with disability as incompetent. Higher scores on universalism-concern and Self-transcendence predicted lower stereotyping of people with disability as cold.

Conclusion: People in Australia have similar moderate negative implicit biases towards people with disability as reported in other countries. Personal values identified could be targeted in reflective practice interventions with employment and healthcare professionals to reduce the effects of implicit bias towards people with disability.

澳大利亚对残疾人的隐性偏见：与个人价值观的关系。

目的：探讨残障人士的内隐偏见及其与个人价值观的关系。方法：对居住在澳大利亚的146人进行方便抽样，完成了一项在线调查，包括肖像价值观问卷-修订（PVQ-RR），残疾经验问题，以及两个内隐联想测试（IAT），该测试衡量了对残疾人的不能力和冷漠的刻板印象。结果：被试对残障者内隐刻板印象为无能者的比例为80.1%，对残障者内隐刻板印象为冷漠者的比例为74.1%。个人价值观“普世关怀”和“普世包容”与胜任力测验呈显著正相关，“安全社会”与胜任力测验呈显著负相关。普遍关怀和自我超越与温暖性测验显著正相关。普遍关怀得分越高，如果一个人有残疾，就越不容易将残疾人视为不称职的人。普遍关怀和自我超越得分越高，预示着对残疾人的冷漠刻板印象越低。结论：澳大利亚人对残疾人的负面内隐偏见与其他国家的报道相似。确定的个人价值观可以在就业和保健专业人员的反思实践干预中成为目标，以减少对残疾人的隐性偏见的影响。
