This study investigated the associations between cross-group friendships and psychological well-being among a sample of physically disabled adults. A total of 269 disabled people (M = 39.13, SD = 13.80; 114 females, 152 males, 3 unknown) completed questionnaires including the quality of their friendships with non-disabled people, perceived majority group's attitudes towards the minority group, collective self-esteem, collective action tendencies, own outgroup attitudes, and psychological well-being. Findings demonstrated that disabled people's cross-group friendships were directly and indirectly associated with higher levels of psychological well-being via two routes: one by promoting perceived majority attitudes which consequently led to more positive own outgroup attitudes (well-being through social integration hypothesis) and the other by leading to higher levels of collective self-esteem which enhanced collective action tendencies (well-being through empowerment hypothesis). Findings offer important insights into the study of cross-group friendships in relation to the psychological well-being of stigmatized minority group members.
本研究调查了跨群体友谊与身体残疾成年人心理健康之间的关系。共有 269 名残疾人（M=39.13，SD=13.80；114 名女性，152 名男性，3 名未知）完成了问卷调查，包括他们与非残疾人的友谊质量、感知到的多数群体对少数群体的态度、集体自尊、集体行动倾向、自身对外群体的态度和心理健康。研究结果表明，残疾人的跨群体友谊通过两条途径与更高水平的心理健康直接和间接相关：一条途径是通过促进感知到的多数群体态度，从而导致更积极的自身对外群体的态度（通过社会融合假说实现的幸福），另一条途径是通过提高集体自尊水平，增强集体行动倾向（通过赋权假说实现的幸福）。这些发现为研究跨群体友谊与受污名化的少数群体成员的心理健康之间的关系提供了重要的见解。
