German, Irish and Australian High School Students' Perceptions of Mental Handicap.

Eggert, Dietrich; Berry, Paul

International Journal of Rehabilitation Research, v15 n4 p349-54 1992

Comparison of the attitudes of German high school students (n=119) with earlier studies of Irish and Australian students found German students more confident at meeting a person with mental disabilities, more interested in policy changes to ensure better services, less positive about general social integration, and very negative about mainstreaming such individuals in schools.
