Just getting along, together”
This study examined the relationship between the theme of interdependence in the narratives of American adults with disabilities and psychological well-being across the shifting conditions of the first 3 years of the COVID-19 pandemic. In contrast to independence, interdependence has emerged as a focus of research about people with disabilities in both the interdisciplinary field of disability studies and in prior psychological research. In the p…
Trajectories of major depression and generalized anxiety symptoms among people with disabilities during the Covid-19 pandemic

Ableism in mental healthcare settings
People with disabilities (PWD) face elevated mental health concerns and are more likely to utilize mental health services compared to their nondisabled counterparts, yet they also report higher unmet mental health service needs due to myriad attitudinal and environmental barriers to accessing care. Despite these well-documented disparities, little research has examined the nuanced lived experiences of PWD who receive mental health services. Drawi…
Narrative identity among people with disabilities in the United States during the Covid-19 pandemic
This study examines narrative identity among a large, diverse sample of people with disabilities (PWDs) in the United States during the "second wave" of the Covid-19 pandemic (October-December 2020). The study relied on abductive analyses, combining a purely inductive phase of inquiry followed by two rounds of investigation that filtered inductive insights through three theoretical lenses: social-ecological theory, the theory of narrative identit…
Ableism
Hostile, Benevolent, and Ambivalent Ableism
Disabled people experience ableism in many forms from the seemingly benevolent to the blatantly hostile, and more ambivalent or mixed forms (e.g., paternalistic/condescending and jealous/envy). Rooted in historic and contemporary frameworks, this study explores the experiences of an international sample of disabled people ( N = 185) using six open‐ended questions to assess some of the manifestations of ableism documented in the literature. We fou…
Disability Group Identification and Disability-Rights Advocacy
Following social identity theory, the present investigation examines the political benefits of self-identification as a member of the disability community for disability-rights advocacy across college ( n = 204), community ( N = 93), and international ( N = 268) samples of adults with disabilities. Consistent with predictions, emerging adults (EAs) with disabilities ( n = 204) demonstrated more political conviction and were twice as likely to be …
Creatively Re-Defining Fat
Antifat stigma is pervasive, often incurring deleterious effects on well-being among fat women. Based on predictions from Social Identity Theory, we examined the relationship between fat group identification, individual and collective responses to stigma, body satisfaction and self-esteem among a community-based sample of fat women. Fat group identification was found to predict collective social change and body affirmation endorsement along with …
Redefining Disability, Re-imagining the Self
People cope with stigma via individualistic strategies that minimize stigmatized attributes, and collective strategies that positively redefine stigmatized traits. Guided by social identity theory, we surveyed people with hidden and visible disabilities to investigate the association between disability identification and strategy use. Further, we tested the prediction that self-esteem (collective and personal) varies by disability identification …
Cultural stereotypes of disabled and non‐disabled men and women
Despite the fact that disabled people comprise a heterogeneous social group, cross‐impairment cultural stereotypes reflect a consistent set of beliefs used to characterize this population as dependent, incompetent, and asexual. Using a free‐response methodology, stereotypical beliefs about disabled men (DM) and women (DW) were contrasted against the stereotypes of their non‐disabled counterparts illustrating the dimensions considered most diagnos…
The Social and Personal Identities Scale
As task performance improves with practice, oftentimes fewer brain areas are recruited to aid in processing. However, relatively little research has investigated how practice affects interactions between brain regions. Given prior work indicating that interhemispheric division of processing is most advantageous when task demands are high, we predicted that interactions between the cerebral hemispheres would be less advantageous after practice tha…
