“…For example, high self-esteem reportedly protects children and adolescents from involvement in bullying, both as victims or bullies (O'Moore and Hillery, 1991;Byrne, 1994;Rigby and Cox, 1996;O'Moore and Kirkham, 2001; but also see Olweus, 1993;Slee and Rigby, 1993;Kaukiainen et al, 2002). Importantly, children with better self-beliefs concerning their social competence have more positive attitudes toward peers with disabilities (Hellmich and Loeper, 2019).…”

“…Being the primary agents integrating children into society, parents may significantly influence their children’s attitudes toward out-groups in general and individuals with disabilities in particular ( Hellmich and Loeper, 2019 ). However, previous research showed inconsistent findings relating parents’ and children’s beliefs about people with disabilities: some found positive relation ( Katz and Chamiel, 1989 ; Peck et al, 1992 ; Okagaki et al, 1998 ; Innes and Diamond, 1999 ; Vignes et al, 2009 ; de Boer et al, 2011 , 2012b ; Hellmich and Loeper, 2019 ), while others found no relation ( Aboud and Amato, 2001 ; Perkins and Mebert, 2005 ; Vittrup and Holden, 2011 ; Pahlke et al, 2012 ; Hong et al, 2014 ; Jugert et al, 2016 ).…”

“…Importantly, parents may communicate their beliefs and attitudes to children explicitly – through discussions or explicit teaching, or implicitly – by modeling their values in daily interactions with other people or by providing their children opportunities to interact with out-group peers ( Dunn, 1993 ; Castelli et al, 2007 ; Hellmich and Loeper, 2019 ). While this differentiation is important, it still does not lead to consensus.…”

Perception of disability is an important construct affecting not only the well-being of individuals with disabilities, but also the moral compass of the society. Negative attitudes toward disability disempower individuals with disabilities and lead to their social exclusion and isolation. By contrast, a healthy society encourages positive attitudes toward individuals with disabilities and promotes social inclusion. The current review explored disability perception in the light of the in-group vs. out-group dichotomy, since individuals with disabilities may be perceived as a special case of out-group. We implemented a developmental approach to study perception of disability from early age into adolescence while exploring cognitive, affective, and behavioral components of children’s attitudes. Potential factors influencing perception of disability were considered at the level of society, family and school environment, and the individual. Better understanding of factors influencing the development of disability perception would allow the design of effective interventions to improve children’s attitudes toward peers with disabilities, reduce intergroup biases, and promote social inclusion. Based on previous research in social and developmental psychology, education, and anthropology, we proposed an integrative model that provides a conceptual framework for understanding the development of disability perception.

“…Children's social participation in early learning centres and/or primary schools depend on their peers' social acceptance. Most often, their personal contact experiences, perception of parental behaviour and self‐efficacy beliefs predict children's attitudes towards their peers 7 . Rodd et al 8 in 2010 stated that children aged 11 to 12 years viewed photographs of children with visible incisor trauma more negatively than the same child with normal incisor appearance, whereas children aged between 14 and 15 years did not.…”

Traumatic dental injuries (TDI) affect around one-third of preschool children. 1 Falls have been reported as the most common aetiology of trauma in the primary dentition at 76%, with 98% of affected teeth being the maxillary central incisors. 2 Typical outcomes of TDIs in the primary dentition include fractures and discolouration, which may be discerning to the eye of the beholder.The psychosocial impacts of TDIs are unique to each individual and are based on the resulting consequences. For example, Goncalves et al. 3 in 2017 stated that approximately 15% of children in their study, aged 2 to 5 years, had an aesthetic impairment following TDIs, as reported by their parents, with tooth discolouration having the most significant aesthetic impact. Cortes et al. 4 in 2002 reported that 12-to 14-year-old children with untreated TDI were 20 times more likely to report a negative effect on their daily lives

“…According to the theory of social referencing, children's attitudes towards peers with special educational needs are influenced by the role model behaviour of their parents. As a result, Hellmich and Loeper (2019) examined the relevance of children's perceptions of parental behaviour in terms of their attitudes towards peers with learning disabilities. This was done by investigating 753 children's attitudes, depending on their perceptions of parental behaviour towards peers with special educational needs, their contact experiences, and their self-efficacy beliefs concerning their interpersonal skills.…”

This study measured the attitudes of non-disabled students towards their peers with disabilities. A cross-sectional survey was employed for the study. The Chedoke-McMaster Attitudes Towards Children with “Handicaps” (CATCH) scale was used to collect data from n=119 respondents. Descriptive statistics analysis was employed in analysing the data. Results indicated that students without disabilities generally held neutral attitudes towards their peers with disabilities (M=2.12; SD=0.687) with no significant difference in gender, age, having a close friend or relative with a disability. Teachers in inclusive education schools were encouraged to measure the attitudes of students towards their peers with disabilities and other related variables. This would enable them to plan, design, develop, implement and evaluate effective interventions that would change non-disabled students’ negative and/or neutral attitudes, thereby ensuring the full social participation of students with disabilities in inclusive settings.
