“…It has been shown that media consumption can cultivate beliefs about reality, and this may be particularly true for those generations which have grown up with the television culture [4]. Moreover, personal contacts and experiences with disabled persons are rather rare in the general population [5], so that the utilisation of latent media knowledge in the assessment of persons with disability and their roles in society is very likely.…”

Restrictions in participation may result from an interaction of persons with impairments with an environment that is dominated by negative attitudes towards disability The portrayal of disabled people in the media can influence the public's attitudes towards disability in both positive and negative ways In this experimental study, attitudes of the general public were significantly improved following viewing a short film featuring a positive media portrayal of a police officer with paraplegia.

“…In a pilot project of the Swiss Paraplegic Research, Reinhardt et al (Reinhardt et al 2010) have recently proposed a new scale to examine the social perception of disability and attitudes towards PwD. The pilot study examined whether visual stimuli of impairment activate latent prejudice against disability and whether this connection can be counteracted with priming strategies (here: a cover story told to the participants).…”

Construct Validity, Test-Retest Reliability, and Internal Consistency of the Photo Elicitation Semantic Differential Scale (PESD) in Disability Studies

et al. 2011

The Photo Elicitation Semantic Differential scale (PESD), developed to examine the social perception of disability and attitudes towards people with a disability (PwD), comprises six dimensions: communicativeness, competence, attractiveness, intelligence, industriousness, and popularity. This paper aims to assess the construct validity, test-retest reliability, and internal consistency of the PESD. A longitudinal study with 40 participants of the Swiss general population and 2 (test-retest) * 8 (different photographs) measurements per subject was performed. Construct validity was examined via Principal Component Analysis (PCA), test-retest reliability via the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) and a frequency analysis of deviations among test-retest scores, and internal consistency via Cronbach's alpha. PCA extracted two factors corresponding to hard and soft skills for the test and a single factor for the retest. ICCs ranged from 0.44 (industriousness) to 0.60 (intelligence). Deviations between tests exceeding +/-1 were rather rare ranging from 6% (intelligence) to 14% (competence). Cronbach's alpha equalled 0.814 and 0.858 for test and retest, respectively. Summarising, in our study the PESD appears to be a valid

Visual perception and appraisal of persons with impairments: a randomised controlled field experiment using photo elicitation

Abstract: Signs of stereotypical processing of visual cues of impairment have been found in participants of the Swiss general population. Personal contact with persons with impairments as well as priming participants seems to reduce stereotyping.
