The concepts of body and corporeality are relatively new phenomena emerging within the social research milieu. For many years they were reserved for the field of biomedical sciences, which somewhere led to their trivialization. Different body types were thus exposed 103 to stigmas, which led them to deprivation and isolation. One such example is the case of disability. As the number of surveys conducted for the purpose of progress of persons with disabilities in society increases, their status of a subordinate social group changes for the better. It is this research, conducted in 2019./2020. years, on that trail. Using a mixed methodology, the objectives of the quantitative and qualitative part of the research were linked, in such a way that the concepts of stereotypes/prejudices and discrimination were examined both among young people and among people with disabilities themselves. Quantitative research included young people (N=202) from 18 to 34 years of age, from the wider Split area. Their opinions were obtained through a questionnaire (derived from the conceptual and operational scheme), and the results of descriptive (tabular and graphical representations) and inferential statistics (hypothesis testing). Qualitative research included persons with disabilities (N=8), with different spectrum of impairments, also from the wider Split area. Their opinions were obtained through a semi-structured interview with a corresponding protocol of topics, and later analytical categories. All participants are ethically assured as much as possible. The results of the survey found that stereotypes/prejudices and discrimination among young people were established when entering marital and sexual relations with people with physical disabilities. Further tests, ie hypothesis testing, found that there was no statistically significant difference between young people, by gender and education, as opposed to religiosity. On the other hand, people with disabilities assess their situation somewhat differently. Almost all participants express that in some part of their lives they have experienced at least some kind of discrimination, with the greatest reference to love relationships, and especially the education system. In addition, the participants expressed dissatisfaction with the treatment of the labor and social welfare system.
