Abstract

|
|
|
This study examined the effects of happiness growth on acceptance of disabilities (AOD), self-efficacy (SE), and positive interpersonal relationships (PIR) in people with physical disabilities. The participants were 2130 people with physical disabilities. The data came from the 1st to 6th waves of the Panel Survey of Employment for the Disabled 2nd Wave (PESD). Trajectories of happiness growth were analyzed using latent growth curve modeling. The effects of happiness trajectories on AOD, SE, and PIR were analyzed using conditional latent growth curve modeling. The findings of the present study showed the following. First, a higher initial level of happiness and a higher slope of change in happiness exhibited a higher level of acceptance of disabilities. Second, a higher initial level of happiness and a higher slope of change in happiness exhibited a higher level of self-efficacy. Third, a higher initial level of happiness exhibited a higher level of positive interpersonal relationships, but a higher slope of change was not related to a higher level of positive interpersonal relationships. The results suggested that a higher initial level of happiness and a higher slope of change in happiness were beneficial to life outcomes (i.e., AOD, SE, and PIR).
