Abstract: The Interactions with Disabled Person's Scale (IDP; Gething, 1991) is designed to measure towards people with a disability. Factor analysis of the 20-item scale has identified relatively stable and correlated factors tapping different aspects of discomfort during with people with disabilities (Gething, 1992, 1994). The present study investigated factor structure of the IDP scale using 2, 850 pre-service teachers from six universities in and South Africa. Multigroup confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the sixfactor fitted the data from both the Australian and South African samples. A two-factor reported by MacLean and Gannon (1995) was rejected. Further analysis of subscales from these factors showed that scores were weakly related to gender, previous contact people with disabilities, and length of full-time employment prior to commencing study.
