Abstract (224 Views)
Aims: Disability is an inherent part of the human condition, with almost everyone experiencing temporary or permanent injuries at some point in their lives. This research aimed to examine the mediating role of feelings of inferiority in the relationship between the perception of disability, self-concept, and self-efficacy in people with physical disabilities.
Instrument & Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Isfahan in 2020 employing a structural equation modeling approach. A group of samples including 280 veterans and individuals with physical disabilities, supported by the Martyr Foundation and the Welfare Organization of Isfahan City, Iran was selected using an available sampling method. Data collection instruments included the Self-Efficacy Belief Scale, Beck's Self-Concept Scale, the Inferiority Scale, and the Disability Impact Scale.
Findings: The relationship between disability perception and both self-concept and self-efficacy was positive and significant. Furthermore, the perception of disability indirectly affected self-concept by reducing feelings of inferiority (p<0.001).
Conclusion: People with physical disabilities tend to have lower self-concept and self-efficacy due to feelings of inferiority. A more positive perception of disability is associated with higher self-concept and self-efficacy and a reduction in feelings of inferiority.
