Perceptions of discomfort by nondisabled coworkers are a major barrier to the acceptance of disabled persons into work groups. This research examined whether reported discomfort varied by the type or nature of the disability. 151 subjects rated 20 types of disabilities in terms of how uncomfortable or comfortable they would be working closely at a nonspecified task with a person with the particular disability. A stable hierarchy of the 20 disabilities was found. Patterns and implications are discussed. Gender of the rater influenced the ratings, specifically females exhibited less discomfort with disabilities over-all than did males. Prior contact with a disabled person, either personally or at unspecified work, did not affect the ratings of discomfort.
非残疾同事对不适感的认知是残疾人被工作团队接纳的主要障碍。本研究调查了所报告的不适感是否因残疾类型或性质而异。151名受试者就与患有特定残疾的人在一项未明确说明的任务上密切合作时会感到多不舒服或多舒服,对20种残疾类型进行了评分。发现了这20种残疾的稳定等级体系。讨论了其中的模式和影响。评分者的性别影响了评分,具体而言,总体上女性对残疾表现出的不适感比男性少。之前无论是个人层面还是在未明确说明的工作中与残疾人有过接触,都不会影响对不适感的评分。
