With the Symbolic Interactionism as background it can be argued that physical disabilities and problems with personal appearance may have a negative influence on the physically disabled woman's social-psychological well-being.
In order to explore the physically disabled woman's experience of Self, two unstructured interviews were conducted with 40 randomly selected disabled women between the ages of 21 years and 60 years.
It was clear that others in general play an important role in the physically disabled woman's experience of Self. She not only compares herself with others in general, but also desires feedback from them. She accepts her disability but feels that her physical disability results in other people making negative inferences about her.
This has a negative influence on her Public Self, including her presentation of herself to others and their perceptions of her as a person, as well as her experience of the total Self.
以符号互动理论为背景，可以认为身体残疾和个人外表问题可能会对残疾女性的社会心理健康产生负面影响。
为了探究残疾女性的自我体验，对40名年龄在21岁至60岁之间随机选取的残疾女性进行了两次非结构化访谈。
很明显，一般来说他人在残疾女性的自我体验中扮演着重要角色。她不仅通常会将自己与他人作比较，还渴望得到他们的反馈。她接受自己的残疾，但觉得自己的身体残疾会导致其他人对她产生负面推断。
这对她的公众自我产生负面影响，包括她向他人展示自己以及他人对她个人的看法，还有她对整体自我的体验。
