Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between interability communication (i.e., communication frequency and identity accommodation) and interability attitudes and disability stereotyping through intergroup anxiety and whether the relationship varies with disability salience. Results indicated that participants’ report of communication frequency with their disability-contact had a significant direct effect on the dependent variables (i.e., interability attitudes and disability stereotyping). Moderated mediation results revealed that when salience was low, communication frequency enhanced positive interability attitudes and reduced disability stereotyping through reduced anxiety. Additionally, perceptions of identity accommodation were positively associated with interability attitudes. However, when salience was moderate and high, identity accommodation reduced positive interability attitudes and elevated negative disability stereotyping through an increase in intergroup anxiety. Discussion focuses on the complementary nature of communication accommodation and intergroup contact theories, and thus illustrates the complex role played by identity accommodation in the interability context.

在美国,沟通频率、身份适应和对残疾人的态度:残疾显著性和群体间焦虑
本研究通过群体间焦虑考察互通性沟通(即沟通频率和身份适应)与互通性态度和残疾刻板印象之间的关系,以及这种关系是否随残疾显著性而变化。结果表明,被试与残障人士的沟通频率对因变量(即互通性态度和残障刻板印象)有显著的直接影响。有调节的中介结果显示,当显著性较低时,沟通频率增强了积极的互通性态度,并通过减少焦虑来减少残疾刻板印象。此外,对身份适应的认知与互通性态度呈正相关。然而,当显著性为中等和高度时,身份适应通过增加群体间焦虑降低了积极的互通性态度,并提高了消极的残疾刻板印象。讨论的重点是沟通适应和群体间接触理论的互补性,从而说明了身份适应在互操作性背景下所起的复杂作用。

期刊介绍: Language Sciences is a forum for debate, conducted so as to be of interest to the widest possible audience, on conceptual and theoretical issues in the various branches of general linguistics. The journal is also concerned with bringing to linguists attention current thinking about language within disciplines other than linguistics itself; relevant contributions from anthropologists, philosophers, psychologists and sociologists, among others, will be warmly received. In addition, the Editor is particularly keen to encourage the submission of essays on topics in the history and philosophy of language studies, and review articles discussing the import of significant recent works on language and linguistics.
