| Abstract
|
:
|
This quantitative cross-sectional study examines the overall attitudes of a sample of Arab Americans toward persons with disabilities. A convenience sample of 372 Arab Americans was recruited from various not-for-profit Arab organizations within 30 States. Participants in the study completed an online self-administered (Qualtrics) survey that included a sociodemographic questionnaire and three validated measures: Vancouver Index of Acculturation-Modified Arab Version (VIA-A; Amer, 2005), Contact with Disabled Persons (CDP) scale (Yuker & Hurley, 1987), and Scale of Attitudes Toward Disabled Persons (SADP; Antonak & Livneh, 1989). Data were analyzed using both bivariate and multivariate techniques including Pearson’s <i>r</i> correlation, <i> t</i>-test, one-way ANOVA, and hierarchical regression analysis.
