Report on research measuring "the effectiveness of three experimental treatments changing positively both expressed attitudes and actual design behavior of architecture students with respect to barrier-free design." Fay lays out the hypothesis, the subjects, the experimental treatments, the control groups, how the attitudes are measured, and behavioral measures. The result of the experiment was that the most positive attitude change occurred in the group that watched the movie "Beating the Averages" on elimination of architectural barriers and had a discussion afterwards.
