Abstract

Purpose/objective: Disability acceptance is an evolving process influenced by personal and contextual predictors, with gender potentially playing a role. This study aimed to examine gender differences in the trajectory of disability acceptance and its predictors among individuals with disabilities in the Republic of Korea (hereafter, Korea).

Research method/design: We analyzed 4-year longitudinal data (2016-2019) from the Panel Survey of Employment for Persons With Disabilities using multigroup latent growth modeling. The sample consisted of 1,007 men and 1,040 women with disabilities.

Results: The research model of disability acceptance demonstrated a good fit, influenced by personal and contextual factors. No significant gender differences were found in intercepts (F = 0.05, p = .83) and slopes of disability acceptance (F = 0.15, p = .70). Multigroup latent growth modeling results indicated that perceived socioeconomic status, disability-related stress, self-efficacy, self-esteem, and satisfaction with friend relationships significantly predicted disability acceptance over most years, with no gender differences in these predictors.

Conclusion/implications: Gender did not predict longitudinal changes in disability acceptance. However, modifiable factors, such as perceived socioeconomic status, disability-related stress, self-efficacy, self-esteem, and satisfaction with friend relationships, were associated with disability acceptance.

性别与韩国残疾个体的残疾接受度无关：一项纵向观察研究。

目的/目标：接受残疾是一个不断演变的过程，受个人和环境因素的影响，性别可能起作用。本研究旨在探讨韩国（以下简称韩国）残疾人对残疾接受轨迹的性别差异及其预测因素。研究方法/设计：我们使用多组潜在增长模型分析了来自残疾人就业小组调查的4年纵向数据（2016-2019）。样本包括1007名残疾男性和1040名残疾女性。结果：残障接受的研究模型具有较好的拟合性，受个人因素和情境因素的影响。在截距（F = 0.05, p = 0.83）和残疾接受度斜率（F = 0.15, p = 0.70）上没有发现显著的性别差异。多组潜在增长模型结果表明，感知社会经济地位、残疾相关压力、自我效能、自尊和对朋友关系的满意度在大多数年份显著预测残疾接受度，这些预测因素没有性别差异。结论/启示：性别不能预测残疾接受度的纵向变化。然而，可改变的因素，如感知的社会经济地位、残疾相关的压力、自我效能、自尊和对朋友关系的满意度，与残疾接受度有关。（PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA，版权所有）。
