TikTok och Ungdomars Attityder gentemot Personer med funktionsnedsättning: En Kvantitativ Studie
(2025) PSYK12 20251Department of Psychology
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Föreliggande studie syftar till att undersöka om det finns ett samband mellan exponering för innehåll på sociala medieplattformen TikTok och ungdomars attityder gentemot personer med funktionsnedsättning. En kvantitativ enkätundersökning genomfördes med 83 deltagare i åldrarna 15–25 år. Respondenterna skattade sin exponering för positivt respektive negativt innehåll om funktionsnedsättning samt sina attityder med hjälp av Attitudes Towards Disabled Persons Scale - Form O (ATDP-O). Resultatet visade ett samband mellan negativ exponering och mer negativa attityder. Däremot kunde inget samband mellan positiv exponering och mer positiva attityder påvisas. Trots detta uppvisade deltagarna i genomsnitt positiva attityder enligt ATDP-O. Fynden... (More)

Resultatet visade ett samband mellan negativ exponering och mer negativa attityder. Däremot kunde inget samband mellan positiv exponering och mer positiva attityder påvisas. Trots detta uppvisade deltagarna i genomsnitt positiva attityder enligt ATDP-O. Fynden kan förstås i relation till faktorer som begränsad exponeringstid, algoritmers påverkan, negativitetsbias och kulturellt förankrade attityder. Signifikanta samband identifierades mellan kön, ålder och attityder, medan kontakt med personer med funktionsnedsättning inte visade någon påverkan. Framtida forskning bör undersöka närmare vilken typ av exponering som har störst påverkan på attityder gentemot personer med funktionsnedsättning. (Less)

- The present study aims to investigate whether there is a relationship between exposure to content on the social media platform TikTok and young people’s attitudes towards people with disabilities. A quantitative study was conducted with 83 participants aged 15 to 25. Respondents estimated their exposure to positive and negative content about disability and their attitudes using the Attitudes Towards Disabled Persons Scale - Form O (ATDP-O). The results showed a relationship between negative exposure and more negative attitudes. However, no relationship was found between positive exposure and more positive attitudes. Despite this, participants showed positive attitudes on average according to the ATDP-O. The findings can be understood in... (More)

The results showed a relationship between negative exposure and more negative attitudes. However, no relationship was found between positive exposure and more positive attitudes. Despite this, participants showed positive attitudes on average according to the ATDP-O. The findings can be understood in relation to factors such as limited exposure time, the influence of algorithms, negativity bias, and culturally embedded attitudes. Significant relationships were identified between gender, age, and attitudes, while contact with people with disabilities showed no
significant impact. Future research should further explore which type of exposure most strongly influences attitudes towards people with disabilities. (Less)
