The negative attitudes of society towards disability and the resulting prejudicial behaviour affects the lives of disabled people. One of the declared aims of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Southampton is to improve attitudes. Hence, an attempt has been made to assess differences in the attitudes held by first- and fourth-year medical students, senior house officers and members of the general public towards disabled people. The measurement instrument used was the 'Attitudes Towards Disabled Persons (ATDP) Scale'. The total number of subjects in the survey was 428, of whom 263 (61%) responded. No significant differences were found between the attitudes of the four groups studied. However, a subpopulation of subjects who agreed with the statement that 'Disabled people cause more problems to doctors than non-disabled people' had attitudes which were significantly more negative.
社会对残疾的消极态度以及由此产生的偏见行为影响着残疾人的生活。南安普顿大学医学院宣称的目标之一就是改善这种态度。因此，有人尝试评估一年级和四年级医学生、高级住院医师以及普通公众对残疾人态度上的差异。所使用的测量工具是“对残疾人态度（ATDP）量表”。调查的受试者总数为428人，其中263人（61%）做出了回应。在所研究的四组人群的态度之间未发现显著差异。然而，有一部分受试者认同“残疾人比非残疾人给医生带来更多问题”这一说法，他们的态度明显更为消极。
