propiedades psicométricas del inventario de actit Udes hacia personas con discapacidad ( iapd )

Due to the lack of instruments to assess at - titudes towards people with disability in childhood, the validation of the 'Inventory of Attitudes towards People with Disability (IAPD)' is presented. The sample is com - posed of 228 children with ages ranging from 7 to 10 years old. Results show that the IAPD has an adequate internal consistency (Cronbach's Alpha = .873) and temporal stability. We provide evidences of convergent validity based on correlations with the EAPD (Verdugo et al., 1994) - coefAcients were signiAcant and moderate- high in all assessments- and internal structure-based evidences based on exploratory factorial analysis. These results allow us to conclude that the IAPD has adequate evidences of validity and reliability to assess attitudes towards disability in the childhood.
