Palmer, Glen A.; Redinius, Patrick L.; Tervo, Raymond C.
Journal of Rural Community Psychology, vE3 n1 2000
A survey and three measures of attitudes toward disabilities were completed by 391 undergraduate and graduate students in human services fields (62 percent in nursing). Groups categorized by size of home community generally were similar in attitudes, except that rural-origin students had more negative attitudes on two factors: derogatory personality stereotypes and behavioral misconceptions.
