“…However, a study by White et al [29] did examine implicit attitudes towards athletes with a disability. They found that, despite the observation that athletes with a disability are a group that should be least likely to be the target of negative attitudes, as this is a group that people admire for their perseverance and courage [30], attitudes toward this group were consistently negative when compared to able-bodied athletes [29].…”

Background. Using measures of explicit attitudes, physical activity status has been established as a factor that reduces the stigma able-bodied people hold towards people with physical disabilities. This phenomenon is called the exerciser stereotype. However, whether the exerciser stereotype exists when using measures of implicit attitudes remains unknown. Objective. The aims of this study were to evaluate the prevalence of negative implicit attitudes towards people with physical disabilities and determine whether implicit attitudes towards people with physical disabilities were influenced by the exerciser stereotype. Methods. One hundred able-bodied participants (82 females, 18 males) completed two implicit association tests (IATs): the Disability-Attitudes IAT and the Disability-Activity IAT. The Disability-Attitudes IAT measured implicit attitudes towards people who were not disabled relative to disabled; the Disability-Activity IAT measured attitudes towards people with a physical disability who were active relative to inactive. Results. Results revealed that 83.8% of participants had negative implicit attitudes towards people with a disability. Participants held more positive attitudes towards active versus inactive people with a physical disability. Conclusions. The study findings indicate that the exerciser stereotype exists implicitly and may undermine negative attitudes towards people with physical disabilities.

“…A small number of studies have attempted to measure implicit attitudes to a range of disabilities (Thomas, Doyle, & Vaughan, 2007;Vaughan, Thomas, & Doyle, 2011;White, Jackson, & Gordon, 2006), including attitudes to individuals diagnosed with autism (Barnes-Holmes et al, 2006). In the study reported by Barnes-Holmes et al (2006) professionals with varying levels of experience with individuals with autism were exposed to the Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure (IRAP), which was designed to measure the professional's implicit attitudes to this particular disability.…”

Марина Радић Шестић УводОсобе са ометеношћу чине oко 10% светске популације или 650 милиона љу-ди, те представљају највећу мањину у свету. Сем тога, oва цифра се повећава са ра-стом популације, напретком медицине и продужењем животног века. Највећи број особа са ометеношћу, чак 80% живи у неразвијеним и земљама у развоју. Жене са ометеношћу су у неповољнијем положају, јер могу бити двоструко искључене из друштва -због полне дискриминације и дискриминације на основу своје различи-тости (ометености). Глобална стопа писмености код одраслих са ометеношћу је око 3%, односно, свега 1% код жена (World Health Organization-WHO, 2011).Широм света једно од десетеро деце се суочава са ометеношћу. Само 2-3% де-це са ометеношћу у сиромашним земљама иде у школу. Млади са ометеношћу у високом образовању су и даље занемарљиво заступљени. Већа је могућност да ће особе са ометеношћу бити жртве насиља или силовања, и мање је вероватно да ће Социолошки преглед, vol. XLVI (2012), no. 4, стр. 561-582
