Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to develop a Korean version of the scale of attitudes for disabled Persons and attitudes towards disabled person-original by translating and modifying the scale proposed by Antonak(1982). In order to test validation, this study was focused on processing survey and statistic data analysis and tried to find a way to applicate in Korea. The data were collected from 500 non-disabled persons divided into two groups, which were consist of target group (public officials, health care providers, teachers, journalists and rehabilitation facility staffs) and general group. Based on the descriptive analysis, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis of the data, validity and reliability were examined. Also to find the statistic significant difference on attitudes towards disabled person between target group and general group, t-test was proceed. The result of the exploratory factor analysis drew 15 items representing 3 factors (Pessimism-Stereotype, Optimism-Human Rights, Derogatory Personality Stereotype). A confirmatory factor analysis results provided the construct validity of this scale as good and reasonable fitness. Cronbach's alpha ranged from .67 to .85 showed internal consistencies of the sub-scales. The subscales were significantly correlated with convergent with DFS(Disability Factor Scale) variables. And the target group had more positive attitudes toward disabled person than general group. It is suggested this scale more suitable for various disability types be elaborated, and get a practical implication on attitudes towards disabled person.

본 연구의 목적은 Antonak(1982)이 개발한 SADP and ATDP-O(Scale of Attitudes for Disabled Persons and Attitudes towards Disabled Persons Scale-Original)척도의 타당도를 검증하고 국내에서의 활용방안을 모색하는 것이다. 이를 위해 공무원, 의료인, 교사, 언론인, 장애인복지시설 종사자로 구성된 표적집단과 일반집단으로 구분한 비장애인 500명을 표집하여 척도의 타당도 및 신뢰도를 검증하고, 표적집단과 일반집단 간의 장애인에 대한 태도 차이를 비교하였다. 탐색적 요인분석 결과, 원 척도는 '염세주의-고정관념', '낙관주의-인권', '손상된 성격' 세 가지 차원의 15개 문항으로 정리되었고, 확인적 요인분석 결과, 재구성한 척도의 적합성은 수용할만한 수준(good/reasonable fit)인 것으로 나타났다. 전체척도의 Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ 값은 .8이 넘어 안정적인 신뢰도를 보였으며, DFS(Disability Factor Scale)와는 전반적으로 높은 수준에서 통계적으로 유의미한 상관관계를 나타내 수렴타당도가 확보되었다. 또한 표적집단이 일반집단보다 장애인에 대해 긍정적인 태도를 지닌 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 타당도가 검증된 도구는 다양한 장애유형에 활용할 수 있도록 장애유형별 검증이 필요하며, 척도의 활용으로 장애인에 대한 태도를 개선하기 위한 임상적, 실천적 방안이 모색되어야 할 것이다.
