Examining the Relationship of Everyday Discrimination with Self-Esteem among Physically Challenged Adults

Abstract

We critically review the literature that is currently available on how discrimination affects the self-esteem of adults with disabilities. Discrimination is a pervasive issue which impacts people with physical disabilities in a number of ways. We provide a combination of contemporary research with important findings, proposed structures, and areas requiring more investigation. We also discuss implications for mediations and emotionally supportive networks that can help lessen the negative psychological effects of routine segregation and boost the self-esteem of genuinely challenged adults. This analysis has implications for developing tactics and remedies that combat isolation, assist really tested adults, and boost their self-esteem. These strategies should raise awareness of problems, promote inclusivity, and provide open resources. We can further develop the prosperity of truly tested people by generating a healthy climate and tending to separation.
