The effects of the specificity of the attitude referent on female adults' expressed attitudes were studied. Specifically, attitudes towards "mentally retarded person" referent were compared with attitudes toward mentally retarded referents who were described in terms of their severity of retardation and CA. Results indicated that expressed attitudes toward a nondescript mentally retarded person referent were generally intermediate in favorability between mildy and severely retarded person referents. The response format of the attitude questionnaire (e.g., Likert, forced-choice) was also found to affect attitude scores differentially as a function of the referent employed.
研究了态度指涉对象的特异性对成年女性表达态度的影响。具体而言，将对“智力迟钝者”指涉对象的态度与对根据智力迟钝严重程度和生理年龄描述的智力迟钝指涉对象的态度进行了比较。结果表明，对无特定描述的智力迟钝者指涉对象表达的态度，其好感度通常介于轻度和重度智力迟钝者指涉对象之间。还发现态度问卷的回答格式（例如，李克特量表、强制选择）会根据所采用的指涉对象不同程度地影响态度得分。
