Nepalese children's attitudes toward peers with visible physical disabilities were studied, using a picture - ranking interview, and compared to a western standard. Nepalese children expressed a positive preference toward peers with obesity that departed from all prior western findings. Children's attituteds and comments implied that body size was associated with wealth, power and food availability. Males were more avoidant of physical disabilities that interfere with functional activities, whereas females expressed a lower preference for cosmetic disabilities (in this instance, a facial cleft). Disabilities that are physically threatening to daily functioning are reported as less common and are avoided, reflecting feelings of unfamilitarity and potential survival threat.
