Abstract/Summary
This study aims to determine the attitudes of male and female college students between the ages of 16-22 year old, living in an urban or rural area toward persons with AIDS who acquire the disease either through homosexual activities, prostitution, blood transfusion and intravenous drug-use. The sample included 320 college students, 160 representing the male population and the remaining 160 representing the female population coming from urban and rural areas. The subjects were chosen through convenience and quota sampling. A self-made survey questionnaire was used to measure the attitudes of college students toward persons with AIDS. The two-factor analysis of variance was used to analyze the general attitudes of college students toward persons with AIDS (PWA) with the critical value of 3.84 at alpha level of .05. A three-way analysis of variance was used to determine the students attitude toward PWA who acquired the disease differently. Sex did not prove to be significant on the attitudes toward persons with AIDS. Place of residence had a main effect on students attitude toward persons with AIDS F(1,316)= 287.32 p.05., with students from urban (M=65.78) having a more positive attitude than students from rural (M=52.08). Modes of acquisition is significant F(3,304)=31.39 p .05. College students have positive attitudes toward blood transfused PWA
