AB - [Although the study of prejudice, stereotyping, and discrimination has been a traditional focus of social psychology, researchers in this area have devoted only limited attention to the attitudes and behaviors toward people with physical disabilities. Moreover, much of the social psychological research on bias has been guided directly by Allport (1954) classic volume, The Nature of Prejudice, and specifically by his definition of prejudice as “an antipathy… directed toward a group as a whole, or toward an individual because he [sic] is a member of that group” (p. 9). Discrimination, according to Allport represented directly negative behavior, ranging from “antilocution” to violence. In this chapter, we argue that a narrow focus on antipathy toward people with physical disabilities obscures the complexity of contemporary attitudes and discrimination toward these individuals. Rather, appreciating the complexity of orientations toward people with physical disabilities can provide insights into the experience of this form of stigmatization and inform policies and laws for combating bias.]
