Abstract
RESUMEN Las actitudes negativas hacia las personas con discapacidad actúan como barreras invisibles, impidiendo la inclusión y participación de dicha población en ámbitos educativos, especialmente en instituciones de educación superior. La investigación sobre actitudes, en México, sigue siendo un campo relativamente novedoso de conocimiento. Se presentan en este artículo dos estudios que analizan la presencia de prejuicios y actitudes hacia la discapacidad, en el entorno universitario. Se usan dos instrumentos con dos muestras diferentes (n=611 y n=308) y se presentan los datos sobre las actitudes y prejuicios y su relación con diferentes variables moderadoras como edad, sexo o contacto previo con personas con discapacidad. Los participantes presentan actitudes positivas y escasos prejuicios hacia la discapacidad. No se reportan diferencias significativas en función de variables sociodemográficas ni de contacto.Keywords
