Abstract
Children (3rd and 6th graders) were shown slides and tapes presenting target children as either physically nonhandicapped and nonretarded, physically handicapped only, mentally retarded only or physically handicapped and mentally retarded. All children were rated more favorably by 3rd graders than 6th graders and more favorably by boys than girls. Physically handicapped target children were rated more favorably than were nonhandicapped children on behavioral intentions measures but were not rated differently on an attitude scale; retarded children were also rated more favorably than were nonretarded children on the former measures but less favorably on the attitude scale.
