[Development of an Attitude Toward Handicapped Structure Test. Initial validation studies in a projective test procedure].
To know the structure of the attitudes toward disabled persons is of importance for practical rehabilitation work as well as for rehabilitation research. The hereby presented BESTT 83 (attitudes-toward-disabled-structure test 1983) comprises 15 factors of the attitude toward the disabled (integration climate). It makes use of pictures in order to be most realistic and to eliminate conscious and unconscious tendencies of distortion. The method can be used for individual tests as well as for group experiments. The test in its original setting has been checked by means of an expert rating and an empirical study (175 subjects aged between 10 and 90 years). The results show the reliability and validity of this method.
