College students (N = 78) completed a series of questionnaires dealing with their personal value systems, perceptions and attitudes concerning persons with mental retardation, volunteer experience, and attitudes and beliefs regarding volunteer work with persons with mental retardation. They were then questioned as to their interest in doing such volunteer work. Data on the students who expressed an interest in volunteer work and those who did not were compared. Results showed that the importance that students placed on certain values in their personal lives was the best predictor of volunteer interest. The importance of these findings for better understanding the nature of people's receptivity to persons with mental retardation was discussed.
78名大学生完成了一系列问卷，这些问卷涉及他们的个人价值体系、对智障人士的看法和态度、志愿者经历，以及对从事智障人士志愿者工作的态度和信念。然后询问他们对从事此类志愿者工作的兴趣。对表示有兴趣从事志愿者工作的学生和没有兴趣的学生的数据进行了比较。结果表明，学生在个人生活中对某些价值观的重视程度是预测志愿者兴趣的最佳指标。讨论了这些发现对于更好地理解人们对智障人士接受程度的本质的重要性。
