We examined whether subjective nearness-to-death is associated with negative attitudes toward people with disabilities, and whether attachment patterns moderate this connection. A total of 462 Israeli adults, average age 57 years, completed scales measuring subjective nearness-to-death, negative attitudes toward people with disability, and attachment patterns. High levels of subjective nearness-to-death were associated with negative attitudes toward people with disability, and attachment patterns were significant moderators. Findings point to the theoretical importance of both perceptions of death and personal resources for coping with subjective nearness-to-death in relation to attitudes toward individuals with disabilities.
我们考察了接近死亡的主观感受是否与对残疾人的负面态度有关，以及依恋模式是否会调节这种联系。共有 462 名以色列成年人参与了这项研究，平均年龄为 57 岁，他们完成了衡量接近死亡的主观感受、对残疾人的负面态度以及依恋模式的量表。接近死亡的主观感受越强烈，对残疾人的负面态度越明显，而依恋模式则是一个显著的调节因素。研究结果表明，无论是对死亡的感知还是应对接近死亡的主观感受的个人资源，在与对残疾人的态度方面都具有重要的理论意义。
