Personal Attitudes Survey
Examining Attitudes
(15 minutes)
1. Hand out Activity Survey—Personal Attitudes Survey.
2. Have students complete the personal attitudes survey individually.
3. Using a show of hands, compile the results of the survey on the board.
Have students record the class results on their handout.
4. Ask students to share some general observations about the group’s
results. For example, only half the people surveyed agreed that they
would have someone with a mental illness as a close friend; most people
believe that medication for life is the best treatment.
5. Review the results of the class survey by comparing the results with the
Activity 2 Resource—Personal Attitudes Survey: Best Answers. Facilitate
a classwide discussion about the survey results, highlighting items that
may be surprising to the group.
