Abstract

|
The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between perceived discrimination and acceptance towards the acquired disabled and to verify the mediating effect of self esteem. We analyzed by applying a structural equation model to 1,552 people with acquired disability who aged 20 and above who responded to the second wave of the Disability and Life Dynamics Panel. First, it showed that the higher the discrimination experience, the lower the level of disability acceptance. Second, it was found that the higher the discrimination experience, the lower the self esteem. Third, it was found that self esteem has partial mediating effect of discrimination experience on disability acceptance. If discrimination is highly recognized, self esteem decreases, which means that it can appear as a low level of disability acceptance. This study established a basis to support the psychological adaptation of the disabled by confirming the structural relationship between the discrimination experience of the disabled and the disability acceptance. Based on the results, political and practical tasks for promoting disability acceptance and reducing discrimination were discussed.
