Navigating a phonocentric and audistic society can be challenging for Deaf people, yet some of them adapt and exhibit resilience. Although there is a plethora of resilience studies, Deaf people's narratives are largely unexplored. This phenomenological study explored from a Deaf cultural-linguistic lens 10 Deaf professionals who use American Sign Language in the United States and their observation of other Deaf people's lived experience. The study focused particularly on their experiences in overcoming significant barriers in their lives and the factors that strengthen Deaf people's resilience. Based on qualitative data gathered from narrative interviews, three main themes emerged from this study: (a) Barriers to Incidental Learning: The Dinner Table Syndrome; (b) Importance of Family Involvement; and (c) Protective Role of the Deaf Community as a Second Family. The stories in this study highlight how Deaf professionals and other Deaf people navigate barriers and manifest resilience.
对于聋人来说，在一个以语音为中心和听觉主义的社会中前行可能具有挑战性，但他们中的一些人能够适应并展现出复原力。尽管有大量关于复原力的研究，但聋人的经历却 largely 未被探索。这项现象学研究从聋人文化语言的视角，探究了在美国使用美国手语的10位聋人专业人士以及他们对其他聋人生活经历的观察。该研究特别关注他们在克服生活中重大障碍的经历以及增强聋人复原力的因素。基于从叙事访谈中收集的定性数据，本研究出现了三个主要主题：(a) 附带学习的障碍：餐桌综合征；(b) 家庭参与的重要性；(c) 聋人社区作为第二家庭的保护作用。本研究中的故事凸显了聋人专业人士和其他聋人如何应对障碍并展现出复原力。
