An attempt was made to modify attitudes toward disabled persons and to provide an effective resocialization experience for newly handicapped patients. The attitude modification procedure was based on Lewin's theory of attitude change. Resocialization was defined as an experience which would enhance the patient's social competence and would address social deprivation during hospitalization. Subjects were women college students and men patients from the spinal cord injury (SCI) unit of a Veterans Administration (VA) Medical Center. Results showed that the contact-plus-information experience, arranged between the students and patients, produced a significant improvement in attitudes as measured by the Attitude Toward Disabled Person (ATDP) scale. The experience was also found to constitute effective resocialization for the SCI patients. Practical implications regarding increased community involvement in the rehabilitation process are discussed.
研究试图改变对残疾人的态度，并为新致残的患者提供有效的再社会化体验。态度改变程序基于勒温的态度改变理论。再社会化被定义为一种能够提高患者社交能力并解决住院期间社会剥夺问题的体验。研究对象为一所退伍军人管理局（VA）医疗中心脊髓损伤（SCI）科室的女大学生和男性患者。结果表明，学生与患者之间安排的接触加信息体验，通过《对残疾人的态度》（ATDP）量表测量，在态度上有显著改善。该体验也被发现对SCI患者构成了有效的再社会化。文中讨论了关于增加社区参与康复过程的实际意义。
