A social distance scale was administered to 57 teachers in a small rural midwestern school district in order to assess their attitudes toward normal and exceptional groups. Findings revealed a hierarchy of preference for the different groups. Normal and gifted were the most accepted, followed by perceptually handicapped and physically handicapped. Least accepted were mentally retarded, emotionally disturbed, and delinquent. An analysis of eight different interpersonal situations revealed that, for all situations except marriage, teachers tended to accept several handicapped groups, including physically handicapped, speech handicapped, and perceptually handicapped. Mentally retarded, emotionally disturbed, and delinquent groups were rejected for all interpersonal situations.
为了评估57名教师对正常群体和特殊群体的态度，对美国中西部一个农村小学区的教师进行了社会距离量表测试。研究结果揭示了对不同群体的偏好等级。正常和有天赋的群体最容易被接受，其次是感知障碍和身体障碍群体。最不被接受的是智力迟钝、情绪困扰和违法犯罪群体。对八种不同人际情境的分析表明，除婚姻情境外，在所有情境中，教师倾向于接受几个残疾群体，包括身体残疾、言语残疾和感知残疾群体。在所有人际情境中，智力迟钝、情绪困扰和违法犯罪群体都被拒绝。
