A Behavioral Approach to Increasing Perceptions of Capability Toward People With Disabilities.

Many of the roughly 1,000,000,000 people around the world who have some form of a disability diagnosis (World Health Organization, 2018) also experience barriers to education (DasGupta, 2015), barriers to health care access Dodds et al. in, Social Work, 63(3), 261-264, (2018), and legal discriminati...

      ab: Many of the roughly 1,000,000,000 people around the world who have some form of a disability diagnosis (World Health Organization, 2018) also experience barriers to education (DasGupta, 2015), barriers to health care access Dodds et al. in, Social Work, 63(3), 261-264, (2018), and legal discrimination (Ziegler in, Boston Law Review, 61, 1183-1221, 2020). Much of this has been attributed to perceptions of stigma, microaggressions, and misunderstanding toward people with disabilities (PWDs; Smart in Journal of Rehabilitation, 75(2), 3-11, 2009, 2015; Ziegler in Boston Law Review, 61, 1183-1221, 2020), which exacerbate these barriers. Previous research has suggested that relational frame theory can be a method to alter these hurtful frames of stigma (Florez et al. in Journal of Contextual Behavioral Science, 12, 1-6, 2019; Kohlenberg et al. in Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 56(3), 505-518, 1991). The current study extends the work of Dixon et al. in The Behavior Analyst Today, 7(3), 275-289 (2006) and Dixon et al. in The Behavior Analyst Today, 10(2), 295-318. (2009) by applying a computer-based conditional-discrimination training paradigm to increase the research participants' perceptions of capability toward PWDs. Results indicated an increase in psychological flexibility, a decrease in the perception of stigma, and an increase in the overall perception of capability toward PWDs. A discussion of these results is followed by limitations of the current paradigm, ethical considerations, and future research to further analyze the relational frame families involved in stigma formation and, ultimately, reduction.
