Abstract
Sixty persons with spinal cord injury were interviewed an average of 11 years after the onset of disability. They answered questions concerning their sense of identity, knowledge of self and social environment, and ability to cope with vocational decision making and other problems. These questions were part of a standardised scale of Vocational Identity. The results of this study indicate that persons experiencing high levels of well‐being also reported high levels of Vocational Identity. Other variables, which were found to be important correlates of well‐being in a previous study by Decker and Schulz (1985), were also associated with Vocational Identity. Implications for occupational therapists are discussed.
