Sumario:The attitudes of students without disabilities towards disability are crucial for the inclusion of students with disabilities in Physical Education classes. The aim of the present study was to examine attitudes towards disability and social competence among secondary school students. The variables were analyzed based on, grade level, and prior contact with people with disabilities. A total of 323 students (aged 14.16 ± 1.33 years) participated, with attitudes assessed using the Physical Education Attitudes Scale and social competence evaluated through the Multidimensional Social Competence Questionnaire. The results revealed significant differences among the analyzed variables. Higher social competence was associated with more positive attitudes towards disability in Physical Education. Regarding gender differences, female students exhibited more positive attitudes and higher social competence compared to male students. Prior contact with people with disabilities positively inf luenced attitudes and had a significant effect on Normative Adjustment. These findings suggest the feasibility of combined programs aimed at enhancing both attitudes and social competence in Physical Education, thereby promoting effective inclusion.
