Abstract
An inverse correlational analysis of mean semantic differential ratings toward 20 types of disability was performed in order to describe the degree of resemblance of public concepts toward such conditions as “an alcoholic,” “someone born blind,” “a leper,” “someone with tuberculosis,” “the average man,” etc. The analysis yielded 2 distinct and contrasting attitudinal factors toward disability: (a) an organic factor, and (b) a functional factor.Keywords
