“…The results of research into the effects of psychiatric training on students’ attitudes toward psychiatry, mental illness, and mental patients are conflicting. Some studies show positive changes in students’ knowledge and attitudes (Kolmer & Kern, 1968; Links, 1981; Maurice, Klonoff, Miles, & Krell, 1975), while others show negative changes (Dhir & Shirali, 1978). When changes have occurred, they have tended to be small (Maurice et al, 1978).…”

Since police officers, lawyers, and mental health professionals are frequently involved in one phase or another of a person's encounter with the law, the attitudes of members of these groups toward disabled persons can influence their behavior, which will in turn influence the ways that a disabled person is treated in the legal system. Although there are not many studies of these attitudes, some tentative conclusions can be drawn. Data indicate that the attitudes of police officers are related to both the extent of their formal education and the amount of information they have about relating to persons with various types of disabilities. The studies of lawyers indicate that those who have disabled clients tend to be more knowledgeable and to have more positive attitudes than lawyers without such clients, but it is not easy to turn lawyers into advocates for disabled clients. The attitudes of mental health professionals, who may be called on to provide advice to police officers or lawyers or to testify in court cases, have some negative aspects that may impair their helpfulness, but their attitudes are more positive than those of l ess educated persons. The data also indicate that the attitudes of psychologists are l ess negative than those of psychiatrists. There is a need for rehabilitation psychologists to undertake studies of the attitudes of these groups and to set up programs designed to change the attitudes of members of these professions.

“…Exploratory studies, with no control groups and unvalidated self-report dependent measures, have indicated that this experiential element is associated with positive changes in trainee knowledge, attitudes, and skills (Lamberd, Adamson, & Burdick, 1972;Maurice, Klonoff, Miles, & Knell, 1975). Comparisons with comparable (Aldrich & Barnhardt, 1963;Anderson, 1969) and approximately comparable (Bernstein, 1972(Bernstein, -1973Perlman, 1972Perlman, , 1973 notraining control groups have demonstrated that supervised experience in conducting therapy produces positive changes in trainee personality characteristics, knowledge, and communication skills.…”

“…their cynicism increases) (Woloschuk et al 2004), others have discussed students' attitude changes towards specific teaching interventions. While medical students develop more positive attitudes after teaching in sexuality, psychiatry and substance abuse (Chappel and Veach 1987;Maurice et al 1975;Thomas et al 1980), they develop more negative attitudes towards computerbased learning as a result of exposure to this method of teaching (Hahne et al 2005). Furthermore, Rees and Sheard (2003) found that although students' positive attitudes towards communication skills declined from the beginning to the end of their communication skills course, their negative attitudes towards learning communication skills did not appear to differ significantly from the first to the second questionnaire completion.…”

Although studies have begun to shed light on medical students' attitudes towards peer physical examination (PPE), they have been conducted at single sites, and have generally not examined changes in medical students' attitudes over time. Employing both cross-sectional and longitudinal designs, the current study examines medical students' attitudes towards PPE at schools from different geographical and cultural regions and assess changes in their attitudes over their first year of medical study. Students at six schools (Peninsula, UK; Durham, UK; Auckland, New Zealand; Flinders, Australia; Sapporo, Japan and Li Ka Shing, Hong Kong) completed the Examining Fellow Students (EFS) questionnaire near the start of their academic year (T1), and students at four schools (Peninsula, Durham, Auckland and Flinders) completed the EFS for a second time, around the end of their academic year (T2). Univariate and multivariate analyses revealed a high level of acceptance for PPE of non-intimate body regions amongst medical students from all schools (greater than 83%, hips, at T1 and 94.5%, hips and upper body, at T2). At T1 and T2, students' willingness to engage in PPE was associated with their gender, ethnicity, religiosity and school. Typically, students least comfortable with PPE at T1 and T2 were female, non-white, religious and studying at Auckland. Although students' attitudes towards PPE were reasonably stable over their first year of study, and after exposure to PPE, we did find some statistically significant differences in attitudes between T1 and T2. Interestingly, attitude changes were consistently predicted by gender, even when controlling for school. While male students' attitudes towards PPE were relatively stable over time, females' attitudes were changeable. In this paper, we discuss our findings in light of existing research and theory, and discuss their implications for educational practice and further research.
