ABSTRACT

Attitudes towards inclusion (ATI) are regarded as an important aspect for the implementation of inclusive education. Yet, explicit measures of ATI have some limitations. Single-target implicit association tests (ST-IAT) provide an opportunity to an implicit ATI measure based on differences in reaction times. However, this can be a time-consuming procedure. The present study is a replication and extension of the study ‘Implicitly measuring attitudes towards inclusive education: a new attitude test based on single-target implicit associations’ by investigating reliability of a shortened version of the ST-IAT Inclusion. Prior studies did not investigate the reliability continuously, nor did they consider different ways of calculating the ST-IAT effect size (D-score). In this study, data from 594 university students are analysed to evaluate the reliability of a shortened ST-IAT Inclusion. Results show that the reliability of the shortened ST-IAT is good and in line with findings on reliability of other ST-IAT procedures. However, the difference between several D-score procedures was rather marginal. Altogether, the shortened ST-IAT Inclusion can provide an economic and reliable measure for ATI.

摘要

包容态度（ATI）被视为实施全纳教育的重要方面。然而，ATI 的显式测量有一些局限性。单目标隐式关联测试 (ST-IAT) 为基于反应时间差异的隐式 ATI 测量提供了机会。然而，这可能是一个耗时的过程。本研究是“内隐测量对全纳教育的态度：基于单目标内隐关联的新态度测试”研究的复制和扩展，通过调查 ST-IAT 包容性缩短版的可靠性。先前的研究没有持续调查可靠性，也没有考虑计算 ST-IAT 效应大小（D 分数）的不同方法。在这项研究中，对 594 名大学生的数据进行了分析，以评估缩短的 ST-IAT 包含的可靠性。结果表明，缩短的 ST-IAT 的可靠性良好，并且与其他 ST-IAT 程序的可靠性调查结果一致。然而，几种 D 分数程序之间的差异相当微小。总而言之，缩短的 ST-IAT Inclusion 可以为 ATI 提供经济且可靠的措施。
