“…Since then, researchers have tested and found support for Allport's hypothesis. Specifically, studies have found that increased knowledge about different racial groups (e.g., McClelland & Linnander, 2006;Preston & Robinson, 1974) and gay men and lesbians (e.g., Lance, 1992;Riggle, Ellis, & Crawford, 1996) is related to more positive attitudes toward that group.…”

Understanding attitudes that may lead to barriers to equality can help enhance social inclusion and quality of life for individuals with intellectual disabilities. The current study examined multidimensional attitudes toward individuals with intellectual disabilities. We expected that those with more knowledge and greater quantity and quality of contact with people with intellectual disabilities would have more positive attitudes toward this social group. Hierarchical multiple regressions revealed that greater knowledge and quantity of contact were unrelated to attitudes. Greater quality of contact, however, was associated with more positive attitudes. These findings add support to previous findings that positive experiences may lead to less intergroup anxiety, less hostility, and less avoidance of outgroups.

“…She acknowledged that she had only travelled for a week and then continued to explain the transformations so far. For Freida the journey elicited intense personal changes concerning her prejudices, which Preston and Robinson (1974) described as an entrenched belief that is difficult to change through short-term travel. After one week of travel, Angie's transformation did not have the intensity of Freida's change.…”

The purpose is to construct a hermeneutic understanding of the significance of the journey to budget travellers. Narrative interviews were gathered from budget travellers. This research confirms the complexity, holistic reflections and personal travel history associated with the journey. The participants' narratives indicated the primacy of personal authenticity instead of cultural authenticity. The sight became a landmark to distinguish the destination, participants' geographical placement and some of their travails on their journeys. The nomothetic significance of the journey involved the meaning themes of personal development and liminal encounters and meaning factors of styles, visual cues and problem solving.

“…Knowledge about specific social groups has been investigated as a predictor of attitudes. Specifically, studies have found that increased knowledge about different racial groups (McClelland & Linnander, 2006;Preston & Robinson, 1974) and gays and lesbians (Lance, 1992;Riggle, Ellis, & Crawford, 1996) is related to more positive attitudes toward that group. Information integration theory deals with the concept that a person's attitudes are a reflection of their knowledge and belief about an object.…”

Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities in Faith Communities: Perspectives of Catholic Religious Leaders

Community psychology is concerned with the relationship between individuals and social systems in community contexts, but the field has under-explored the role of religious organizations in the lives of individuals with intellectual disabilities. Worldwide, most people identify with a religion, and congregations serve as important mediating structure that creates a sense of community and provides linkages between individuals and society. There may be significant benefits to religious participation, including greater life satisfaction, health, and quality of life. Such benefits may be especially important to individuals with intellectual disability who generally experience poorer outcomes. However, we know very little about the inclusion of persons with intellectual disability in faith communities, particularly from the perspective of faith leaders who play pivotal roles in transmitting values and making decisions for their community. The present dissertation aimed to address gaps in knowledge about how religious leaders make meaning of intellectual disabilities and their perspectives toward individuals with intellectual disabilities. Catholic priests, parochial vicars, and deacons were interviewed to address three overarching research questions, viz. (a) What types of experiences, in and outside of faith communities, do religious leaders have with individuals with intellectual disabilities?; (b) What are the beliefs of religious leaders toward the involvement of individuals with intellectual disabilities within faith communities?; and (c) How does religion inform the understanding of intellectual disabilities among religious leaders?
