The General Handicapped Attitude Scale (GHAS): A Construct Validation Study.

Bermond, Bob

International Journal of Rehabilitation Research, v10 n1 p49-54 1987

The construct validity of the General Handicapped Attitude Scale was investigated with 44 spinal cord lesioned patients. Scores on the subscales of acceptance and social consequences did not correlate with scores for severity of handicap but did correlate significantly with scores for personal attitude toward the handicap.
