본 연구는 통합 유치원과 비통합 유치원에 다니는 일반유아의 부모를 대상으로 장애인에 대한 부모의 수용태도가 유아기 자녀의 통합유무와 상관이 있는지, 또는 부모의 장애인과의 직접적인 경험요인과 상관이 있는지 그 관련성을 찾고자 하였다. 본 연구의 연구문제 검증 결과에 의해 도출된 결론은 다음과 같다.첫째, 장애인에 대한 부모의 수용태도는 자녀의 통합유무와 상관이 없는 것으로 나타났다.둘째, 장애경험 요인에 따른 장애인에 대한 부모의 수용태도는 장애인과의 접촉경험에 따라, 장애인 관련 자원봉사 경험에 따라, 과거 장애인과의 부정적 경험에 따라 일부 하위요인에서 차이가 나타났다. 즉, 장애인 접촉경험과 장애인 관련 자원봉사 경험이 많을수록 장애인에 대한 무조건적 거부, 권위주의적 태도, 접촉 시 긴장을 덜 보이고, 과거 장애인과의 부정적 경험, 특히, 장애인과 의사소통에서의 어려움, 장애인의 위협적인 행동을 경험한 부모들은 장애인에 대한 무조건적인 거부와 긴장을 더 많이 보이는 것으로 나타났다.
