Mass Transportation Operators' Beliefs about Visual Impairment.
Almon, Pamela A.
Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, v95 n1 p5-13 Jan 2001
A study investigated 171 mass transit operators' beliefs about blindness and the factors that may influence their beliefs. There were statistically significant differences among transit operators' beliefs on the basis of the operators' ethnicity. White participants had significantly fewer irrational beliefs about blindness than Hispanic and African American participants. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
