This study compared attitudes toward disability of 148 Arab and 124 Jewish high school students in Israel. Results found a significant effect of cultural affiliation with Jewish youth expressing more positive attitudes than their Arab counterparts. Findings were related to possible differences in psychodynamic processes motivating attitudes in the two cultures. (DB)
