Disability IAT Reflection

511 Words3 Pages

I took the Disability IAT and Gender Career IAT, for I am pursing a bachelor in special education, and I wanted to confirm if I stereotyped women by associating them to family instead of career. For the Disability IAT I was surprised to find out that have a slight preference for abled persons over disabled persons. Based on the results of this IAT test, I would say that I am in the acceptance phase of the DMIS because I have the ability to recognize and appreciate the cultural difference between abled persons and disabled persons in my own terms, yet with a subtle preference for abled persons. I disagree with the results because I feel like I have subtle preference for disabled persons when it comes to helping them over the abled persons. I feel like disable …show more content…

I do agree with the results of the latter, for I know that I have a slight automatic association for male with family and female with career. I think part of it is because I believe that women should be more focused in their career and not focused entirely in family. I believe that both men and women should focus enough in their career and family meaning that family or career should not be associated with a single gender. Men and women need to find a balance between career and family, so that they can both benefit from both. This survey can give a general understanding on your attitudes toward certain topics or cultures; therefore, it could be beneficial to clarify the attitude of a person toward a specific group of people. Doing the test was a little bit challenging because sometimes I forgot the associations and letters I had to press; however, it was a different experience and a new way to acknowledge my beliefs about certain groups of

  • Disability As A Justification For Inequality: Analysis

    220 Words  | 1 Pages

    As Baynton discusses disability as a justification for inequality, I view it in the sense of a social concept of disability that sets the platform for discrimination and violence against the minority groups. This concept has been implemented in U.S. history to allow discriminatory practices against the minorities to occur. Basically, women, individuals from different races, and ethnic minorities were labeled as disabled as well to interpret inequality as a positive concept. For example, there was justification for slavery in which African Americans did not have the required intelligence which made them incapable of equality with other Americans. This assumption was ascribed to physical causes and differences that were visible in their race.

    Gender roles are prevalent in American culture. Yet, the gender roles have adapted through the social changes because gender roles are socially constructed.

In a study done by the Pew Research Center, in 1960s eleven percent of women were the primary monetary provider of the family.
