Abstract

The implicit attitudes, compared to explicit attitudes moderated by social pressure, play a dominant role in everyday interactions with disabled persons. Therefore, the purpose of the paper is to present the development of Implicit Attitudes Test toward Persons with Visual, Intellectual, and Motor Disabilities (IAT-VIMD). It has been developed to compare the favorization vs devaluation tendency towards non-disabled and disabled adults. We applied photographs showing people in everyday situations to assure spontaneous reactions of the respondents. Ninety-two respondents aged 19–22 years took part in the research. The procedure is based on the IAT (Implicit Association Test) index, developed by Greenwald, McGhee, & Schwartz (1998), i.e. the difference in response time to affective compatible vs non-compatible signals. Statistical analysis confirmed the content validity based on the Competent Judges’ agreement as regards the type of disability, the level of visibility and the level of overall life activity of the object. The external validity was verified with The Conditional Respect for Persons with Disabilities Questionnaire (CRPD-Q) by Kurtek (2018). Next the absolute stability of the test was proved. The presented IAT-VIMD meets the psychometric criteria of content and theoretical validity as well as reliability, and has the potential to become a useful measure of implicit attitudes towards adults with visual, motor and intellectual disabilities in various social groups. The discussion points to the test’s limitations and recommendations for future development and use. In particular, a need for further research on the external validity of the test has been emphasized.

视觉、智力和运动障碍者内隐态度测验的初步研究

与受社会压力调节的外显态度相比，内隐态度在与残疾人的日常互动中发挥着主导作用。因此，本文的目的是介绍对视觉、智力和运动障碍者的内隐态度测试（IAT-VIMD）的发展。它是为了比较对非残疾和残疾成年人的偏爱和贬低倾向而开发的。我们应用了人们日常生活中的照片，以确保受访者的自发反应。92名年龄在19-22岁的受访者参与了这项研究。该程序基于Greenwald、McGhee和Schwartz（1998）开发的IAT（内隐联想测试）指数，即对情感兼容信号和非兼容信号的反应时间差异。统计分析证实了基于主管法官关于残疾类型、可见性水平和对象整体生活活动水平的协议的内容有效性。外部有效性通过Kurtek（2018）的《残疾人有条件尊重问卷》（CRPD-Q）进行验证。接下来证明了该试验的绝对稳定性。所提出的IAT-VIMD符合内容、理论有效性和可靠性的心理测量标准，有可能成为衡量不同社会群体中对视觉、运动和智力残疾成年人的内隐态度的有用指标。讨论指出了测试的局限性以及对未来开发和使用的建议。特别是，有必要对测试的外部有效性进行进一步研究。
