BackgroundIntellectual disability research has concentrated on self-reported explicit attitudes with little focus on implicit attitudes. Such attitudes are evaluations which occur with or without conscious awareness, respectively. This investigation examined participants' (N=234) attitudes towards individuals with intellectual disabilities with reference to participants' gender, age, level of education, frequency of contact and closeness. MethodUK adults completed explicit (ATTID) and implicit attitude (ST-IAT) measures, and provided demographics via an online survey. ResultsParticipant demographics predicted explicit attitudeswith differing cognitive, affective and behavioural associations. Contact frequency was most significant. Implicit attitudes were not predicted, evidencing implicit-explicit attitude differences. ConclusionsThe results encourage more implicit-explicit attitude relationship research regarding disability. The associations between demographics, contact and implicit attitudes should be explored further. Research should question whether implicit attitudes reflect participants' true beliefsdenoting less importance to demographicsor whether they reflect wider societal values rather than individuals' attitudes.
