The psychological perspective of disability views the extent of disability as substantially determined by the availability of essential resources in the physical and social environments of people with disabilities. This article reports the findings of a study of the post-hospital adjustment of individuals treated for injuries that produced paraplegia or quadriplegia. Comparisons of emotional and social adjustments were made between groups of respondents contrasted by size of community, independent living vs. physical dependence, employment status, and degree of social interaction. Resultant data documented the critical importance of these ecological variables. Practice implications of the findings are discussed.
残疾的心理学观点认为，残疾程度在很大程度上取决于残疾人身体和社会环境中基本资源的可获取性。本文报告了一项针对因受伤导致截瘫或四肢瘫痪患者出院后适应情况的研究结果。对不同组别的受访者进行了情绪和社会适应方面的比较，这些组别在社区规模、独立生活与身体依赖、就业状况以及社会互动程度等方面存在差异。所得数据证明了这些生态变量的至关重要性。文中还讨论了研究结果对实践的启示。
