Questions relating to Marini (2013)
The majority of previous research regarding attitudes toward having a relationship with someone with a disability has typically shown that: Persons without a disability would rather be friends or coworkers as opposed to date or marry someone with a disability Persons without a disability generally have the same attitudes regarding dating someone with a disability as they do being a coworker Persons without a disability prefer to date or marry someone with a psychiatric disability over someone with a physical disability Persons without a disability do not have favorable attitudes for any type of relationship (e.g., acquaintance, friendship) with someone with a disability
The authors of the present study found that the majority of previous research regarding having a relationship with someone with a disability is flawed because: Of the stranger affect The disability is made the salient and single identifying feature of the individual The studies are not realistic or resemble how people make partner decisions in real life All of the above None of the above
Present study findings mirrored similar findings from previous studies in that: Males most often have more favorable attitudes toward dating or marrying someone with a disability Females most often have more favorable attitudes toward dating or marrying someone with a disability Males and females equally share similar attitudes toward dating or marrying someone with a disability Hispanic students have more favorable attitudes toward dating or marrying a wheelchair user
In the present study, the authors found that for those participants who were not interested in having a dating or marrying relationship with a wheelchair user, the primary reasons were: The partner with a disability would be sick often, he or she would be depressed often, and would likely be unemployed It would be socially awkward to be seen with a partner with a disability, he or she would not be able to do anything for, and he or she would be unable to perform sexually The partner with a disability would be sick often, would be unable to perform or satisfy a partner sexually, and would usually be angry over their situation The partner with a disability would be sick often, it would be socially awkward to be with him or her, and he or she would likely be unable to perform sexually
The findings in the present study suggest that: Knowing or having a past relationship with someone with a disability often leads to having a more favorable attitude toward dating or marrying someone with a disability Knowing or having a past relationship with someone with a disability often leads to less favorable attitudes toward dating or marrying someone with a disability Knowing someone with a disability makes no difference in attitudes toward dating or marriage compared with those who do not have a past relationship Rehabilitation counselors often commit ethical violations because of having a sexual relationship with a client with a disability

Questions relating to Dong et al. (2013)
The cost of accommodations, urgency of the request, and timing of the request were three differences found related to the nature of accommodation requests. Which of the following is true regarding these differences? In all cases, the employers’ ratings of importance of the items were higher than ratings of employees with disabilities All cases had confidence intervals that were overlapping, so there was no evidence of a difference in ratings In all cases, employers’ ratings on these items were lower than employees with disabilities or service providers’ ratings In all cases, service providers rated these items lower than employees with disabilities and employers
All three stakeholder groups believe/agree that: The extent to which accommodations are matched to job requirements is very important Employer’s understanding of disabilities and Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) eligibility is important Supportiveness of the employee’s direct supervisor is very important All of the above
An emerging pattern of the perception of the importance of the accommodation items among the three stakeholder groups is: A convergence of the perception of the importance of accommodation items between service providers and employers A convergence of the perception of the importance of accommodation items between employees with disabilities and employers A convergence of the perception of the importance of accommodation items among the three groups A convergence of the perception of the importance of accommodation items between service providers and employees with disabilities
Some employers are more likely to approve reasonable accommodation (RA) requests than others. For employers who are less likely to provide accommodations, they tend to believe: The extent to which the accommodations are matched to job requirements is an extremely important RA consideration An employee’s knowledge of the employers’ RA procedures is less important as a factor in the RA decision-making process Coworkers’ perceived fairness of the accommodation is less important as a factor in deciding whether to approve or deny an RA request All of the above
Which of the following statements is correct in describing employees who are less likely to request accommodations? They believe “ease of use of accommodation” is less important than employees who were more likely to request They believe “extent to which the accommodations are matched to job requirements” is as important as employees who were more likely to request They believe “employee’s communication skills in requesting accommodations” is less important than employees who were more likely to request. None of them is correct
