PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE This article describes the initial factor exploration of disability identity and preliminary psychometric characteristics based on an adult self-report tool. Disability was defined broadly, and the sample included individuals with visible and/or hidden disabilities across many disability groups (i.e., physical, intellectual, learning, mental illness). METHOD Items were developed (n = 102) and a pilot measure was administered to a sample of adults with disabilities (n = 566). An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) using the mean and variance adjusted weighted least squares (WLSMV) estimator was conducted. The resulting items were sent to expert reviewers for evaluation. RESULTS Following the exploratory analyses, 37 items were retained that made up four factors: internal beliefs about own disability and the disability community, anger and frustration with disability experiences, adoption of disability community values, and contribution to the disability community. The pilot measure aligned well with the theoretical framework that guided its development. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION This factor exploration is a contribution to a growing body of literature supporting, and investigating, disability identity development. This work presents a more comprehensive understanding of disability identity development. Armed with a better understanding, this will serve as a basis to inform future scale development and validation. After this validation work is completed, there is the potential to apply findings to tailor interventions and clinical work, so that psychologists and rehabilitation professionals may be better prepared to meet the developmental needs of disabled clients.

残疾身份的初始因素探索。

目的/目的本文描述了基于成人自我报告工具的残疾身份和初步心理测量特征的初始因素探索。残疾的定义很宽泛，样本包括许多残疾群体（即身体、智力、学习、精神疾病）中具有明显和/或隐藏残疾的个人。方法 制定了项目（n = 102），并对残疾成人样本（n = 566）实施了一项试点措施。使用均值和方差调整的加权最小二乘法 (WLSMV) 估计量进行了探索性因素分析 (EFA)。将所得项目发送给专家评审员进行评估。结果 在探索性分析之后，保留了 37 个项目，它们由四个因素组成：关于自身残疾和残疾社区的内部信念，对残疾经历的愤怒和沮丧，接受残疾社区价值观，以及对残疾社区的贡献。试点措施与指导其发展的理论框架非常吻合。讨论/结论 这一因素探索是对越来越多的支持和调查残疾身份发展的文献的贡献。这项工作提供了对残疾身份发展的更全面的理解。有了更好的理解，这将作为为未来规模开发和验证提供信息的基础。验证工作完成后，有可能将研究结果应用于定制干预和临床工作，以便心理学家和康复专业人员可以更好地准备满足残疾客户的发展需求。
