TI  - Differential attitudes of Chinese students toward people with disabilities: a 
      cross-cultural perspective.
PG  - 267-73
AB  - The purpose of this study was to examine the attitudes of 338 Chinese secondary 
      school students toward three major disability groups (people who are physically 
      disabled, emotionally disturbed, and mentally retarded) using an adaptation of 
      the American Scale of Attitudes toward Disabled Persons (SADP). We found that 
      physically disabled persons were rated higher across the three subscales of the 
      SADP compared to either emotionally disturbed and mentally retarded individuals, 
      who were rated similarly low by the students. The lack of differentiation between 
      the two mental handicapping conditions is at variance with contemporary western 
      findings. The overall negative attitudes toward people with mental disabilities 
      may have significant implications for community rehabilitation programming for 
      this population.
