In the present study, the authors evaluated the self-concept levels of Hong Kong Chinese adults with visible and not visible physical disabilities. Fifty-five Hong Kong Chinese (22 men and 33 women) aged 18 to 55 (M = 39.50, SD = 10.21) participated-20 without physical disabilities (control group), 20 with visible physical disabilities, and 15 with physical disabilities that were not visible. All the participants responded to the Self-Concept Questionnaire for Hong Kong Chinese With Physical Disabilities (SCQPD; S. F. Tam & D. Watkins, 1997). The group with visible disabilities scored significantly lower in self-concept than did the control group and the group with disabilities that were not visible. There were also significant differences between specific facets of self-concept for people with visible and not visible disabilities. It was interesting to find that there was no significant difference in self-concept levels between the not visible group and the control group. The implications for rehabilitation and social services for these various groups are discussed.
在本研究中，作者评估了有明显身体残疾和无明显身体残疾的香港成年华人的自我概念水平。55名年龄在18至55岁之间（M = 39.50，SD = 10.21）的香港华人（22名男性和33名女性）参与了研究——20名无身体残疾者（对照组），20名有明显身体残疾者，以及15名有不明显身体残疾者。所有参与者都回答了《香港身体残疾华人自我概念问卷》（SCQPD；S. F. 谭和D. 沃特金斯，1997）。有明显残疾的组在自我概念方面的得分显著低于对照组和有不明显残疾的组。有明显残疾和不明显残疾的人在自我概念的具体方面也存在显著差异。有趣的是，不明显残疾组和对照组在自我概念水平上没有显著差异。文中讨论了针对这些不同群体的康复和社会服务的意义。
