Abstract
The primary purpose of this study was to determine if undergraduates' attitudes toward the handicapped could be positively modified by observing videotapes of handicapped children. Fifty-two special education and non-special education majors enrolled in an introductory special education course were randomly assigned to either an experimental group that observed videotapes of handicapped children or a control group that did not. The Attitude Toward Disabled Persons Scale (ATDP) and the Handicapped Subscale of the Special Vocational Needs Attitude Scale (SVNH) were used as pre-test and posttest measures. Experimental-group subjects had significantly more positive attitudes toward the handicapped as measured by the ATDP. A significant interaction of treatment and academic major on attitudes toward the handicapped, as measured by the SVNH, indicated that the treatment was differentially effective for special education majors and non-special education majors.
