Title: | Knowledge of Autism and Attitudes of Children Towards Their Partially Integrated Peers with Autism Spectrum Disorders | Contributor(s): | Mavropoulou, Sofia (author); Sideridis, Georgios D (author) | Publication Date: | 2014 | DOI: | 10.1007/s10803-014-2059-0 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/16141 | Abstract: | This study aimed to measure the effects of contact with integrated students with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) on the knowledge, attitudes and empathy of children (n = 224) from grades 4-6. A comparison group of children (n = 251) who had no contact with classmates with ASD was also included. All participants completed self-report instruments. The implementation of multilevel modeling and moderation analysis indicated significant effects on all dependent variables as well as differences across gender and grades. Implications are discussed regarding the role of contact on peers’ conceptions of autism and their attitudes towards children with ASD within inclusionary settings. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 44(8), p. 1867-1885 | Publisher: | Springer New York LLC | Place of Publication: | United States of America | ISSN: | 1573-3432 0162-3257 |
