PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE Positive disability identity has been proposed as a protective factor against disability-related stressors. Personal disability identity (PDI) refers to positive self-concept as a person with a disability. The most widely used measure of PDI captures disability affirmation and disability acceptance (Hahn & Belt, 2004). The current study examined the association between PDI (i.e., acceptance and affirmation) and hope (i.e., pathways and agency). Hope is defined as a process of thinking about one's goals, including motivation to pursue goals (agency) and ways to achieve goals (pathways; Snyder et al., 1991). METHOD One hundred eighty-six adults with physical disabilities completed an online cross-sectional questionnaire measuring PDI, hope, personal factors, and impairment-related factors. RESULTS Findings from multiple linear regression indicated that agency was predicted by both disability acceptance (p < .001) and disability affirmation (p < .001), after accounting for personal and impairment factors. Presence of multiple disabilities was also found to be negatively associated with agency (p = .001). Pathways was predicted by disability acceptance (p < .001) but not disability affirmation (p = .17), after accounting for personal and impairment factors. The regression model on agency explained 50% of the variance in agency scores, a moderate effect; the model on pathways explained 36% of the variance in pathways scores, a moderate effect. Internal consistency of all instruments was supported and confirmatory factor analyses supported the use of the PDI subscales. CONCLUSIONS/IMPLICATIONS By introducing hope as a correlate of disability acceptance and disability affirmation, this study provides support for the role of disability identity in promoting well-being (e.g., agency and pathways) among adults with physical disabilities.

残疾肯定和接受预示着身体残疾成年人的希望。

目的/目的 积极的残疾身份已被提议作为对抗残疾相关压力源的保护因素。个人残疾身份 (PDI) 是指作为残疾人的积极自我概念。最广泛使用的 PDI 衡量标准是残疾确认和残疾接受（Hahn & Belt, 2004）。当前的研究检查了 PDI（即接受和肯定）与希望（即途径和代理）之间的关联。希望被定义为思考目标的过程，包括追求目标的动机（代理）和实现目标的方法（路径；Snyder 等，1991）。方法 186 名身体残疾的成年人完成了一项在线横断面问卷，测量 PDI、希望、个人因素和障碍相关因素。结果 多元线性回归的结果表明，在考虑了个人和损伤因素后，能动性是由残疾接受度 (p < .001) 和残疾确认 (p < .001) 预测的。还发现存在多种残疾与代理负相关（p = .001）。在考虑了个人和损伤因素后，通过残疾接受度 (p < .001) 而不是残疾确认 (p = .17) 来预测通路。代理的回归模型解释了代理评分的 50% 的差异，效果适中；路径模型解释了路径分数中 36% 的差异，这是一个中等的影响。支持所有工具的内部一致性，验证性因素分析支持使用 PDI 分量表。结论/意义 通过引入希望作为残疾接受和残疾确认的相关因素，本研究为残疾身份在促进身体残疾成人的幸福感（例如，代理和途径）方面的作用提供支持。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
