This cross-sectional survey investigates the influence of youths' religiosity on their attitude towards people with disabilities. The Muslim religiosity questionnaire and multidimensional attitudes scale towards persons with disabilities were used to survey 733 youths from the federal university in the United Arab Emirates. The results indicated that the youths were religious and had positive attitudes towards people with disabilities. An increase in religiosity is associated with a positive attitude towards disability, and both religiosity and total family income positively impacted the attitude towards people with disabilities. Reducing inequalities by including persons with disabilities is one of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development objectives. Policies should aim to enhance curriculum, improvise public guidelines and partner with associated faith-based leaders to build an inclusive society for people with disabilities, thus helping to achieve sustainable development goals.
本横断面调查研究了青少年的宗教信仰对其对残疾人态度的影响。使用穆斯林宗教信仰问卷和多维残疾人人态度量表对来自阿拉伯联合酋长国联邦大学的 733 名青少年进行了调查。结果表明,青少年具有宗教信仰,对残疾人持积极态度。宗教信仰的增加与对残疾的积极态度有关,宗教信仰和家庭总收入都对残疾人的态度产生积极影响。通过包容残疾人来减少不平等是联合国 2030 年可持续发展议程的目标之一。政策应旨在加强课程,改进公共准则,并与相关的基于信仰的领导人合作,为残疾人建立一个包容的社会,从而有助于实现可持续发展目标。
