3.1.3 Multidimensional Attitudes Scale Toward Persons with Disabilities (MAS). The manner in which an aug-
mented human uses the augmentation technology, the reasons for its use, and whether or not the individual had
a prior disability, are among the factors that can evoke emotions in the observer [82].

The MAS Scale is a validated measure of attitudes toward people with disabilities. It provides a comprehensive
picture of the attitudes of society towards this population. The MAS has been shown to be a valid and reliable
measure of attitudes toward people with disabilities [27]. It can be used to identify areas where attitudes may
need to be altered and to inform the design of interventions aimed at reducing prejudice and promoting the
inclusion of persons with disabilities. The items from the MAS scale provide valuable information about the
observer’s emotions, thoughts, and behaviors towards ATs users.
