Tóm tắt

BACKGROUND: We investigated attitudes toward individuals with an intellectual disability (ID) in a Norwegian sample and tested the psychometric properties of a Norwegian translation of the Community Living Attitudes Scale - Intellectual Disability (CLAS-ID). METHOD: The sample was 645 adults ( RESULTS: The four-factor structure of the CLAS-ID showed good model fit in a confirmatory factor analysis of the Norwegian translation with adequate internal consistency. Participants with working experience with ID or a family member with ID reported more favorable attitudes compared with participants without working experience or without a family member with ID, respectively. Women and older participants reported more positive attitudes compared to men and younger participants. CONCLUSION: The Norwegian translation of the CLAS-ID appears to be a valid tool for assessing attitudes toward individuals with an ID. Individuals with first-hand experience with individuals with an ID have more positive attitudes than those without, and women and older people have more positive attitudes than men and younger people.
