Abstract
The influence of contact (mainstreamed and nonmainstreamed) and sex on attitudes of fifth- and sixth-grade students toward handicapped children was examined. 143 mainstreamed students attended an integrated school, whereas 86 nonmainstreamed students had no handicapped children in their school. Mean responses to the Children's Attitudes Toward Handicapped Scale were subjected to a 2 × 2 analysis of variance which indicated no significant differences by contact or sex. χ2 analysis of individual items indicated some significant differences, favoring contact, on items “are fun” and “are interesting.”
