AB - This study examined university students' attitudes towards people with intellectual disabilities. The subjects of the study included a total of 253 university students. The study aimed at identifying the explanatory variables of social integration, social distance, private rights, and subtle derogatory beliefs of intellectually disabled people and developing a relational model of variables related to their social integration. The study generated the following results. First, the validity and reliability of the study instrument was proved. Second, female students showed more positive attitudes towards people with intellectual disabilities than their male counterparts. In addition, first year students and students majoring in special education related subjects displayed more positive attitudes than senior students and students whose majors were not related to special education. University students' attitudes towards the social integration of intellectually disabled people can be explained by what school year they are in, their meetings with the disabled, and degree of their participation in voluntary activities. The social distance of intellectually disabled people can be explained by what school year students belong in, their gender, majors, meetings with disabled people, and their activity experiences. In addition, intellectually disabled people's private rights can be explained by students' gender, meetings with the disabled, and their voluntary activities. Furthermore, subtle derogatory beliefs towards intellectually disabled people can be explained by what school year students are in, their gender, meetings with the disabled, and voluntary activities. Third among personal variables, the degrees of students' indirect experiences and voluntary activities was found to be the best predictors of the relational model of variables related to university students' attitudes towards the social integration of intellectually disabled people. The relation also displayed significant changes with regard to the social distance of intellectually disabled people and subtle derogatory beliefs about them. The entire amount of explanation was R²=.574.
