The purpose of the present study was to clarify causal relations among latent variables (constructs) obtained from implementing exploratory factor analysis and cluster analysis. We applied an analysis of covariance structure to the causal model of attitudes towards persons with intellectual disabilities. The participants, 415 university students, completed a survey composed of 28 items related to attitudes towards persons with intellectual disabilities, 12 items concerning relations with children (persons) with intellectual disabilities during the respondents' elementary and middle school years, 8 items concerning participants' attributes, and a free-answer question. Significant causal coefficients were obtained among the respective latent variables. The main results were as follows: Experience in integrated education during elementary school was not necessarily positively utilized in attitudes formation. Talking at home about children with intellectual disabilities had a positive influence on attitude formation. Affirmation of the abilities of persons with intellectual disabilities had more positive influence. Volunteer work and discussion related to persons with intellectual disabilities after middle school graduation were utilized positively in attitude formation.
