Personal disability identity is a predictor of psychosocial functioning among adults with predominantly physical disabilities. In the present study, we examined personal disability identity in adults with learning disabilities (LD) and/or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In samples of 541 adults with LD, 475 with ADHD, and 433 with comorbid LD and ADHD, we examined the structural validity of disability acceptance and disability affirmation scores and the association between these scores and anxiety/depression, life satisfaction, and general self-efficacy. Factor analyses supported a 4-item disability acceptance and 3-item disability affirmation scale in LD-only and ADHD-only samples. Among adults with LD or ADHD, disability affirmation was a meaningful predictor of life satisfaction, and disability acceptance predicted general self-efficacy. Disability identity attitudes are worthy of clinical and scholarly attention in adults with LD and ADHD, and adults with comorbid LD and ADHD may warrant special consideration in the personal disability identity literature.

美国患有学习障碍和多动症的成年人对残疾的接受和肯定。

个人残疾认同是主要身体残疾的成年人心理社会功能的预测因素。在本研究中，我们检查了患有学习障碍（LD）和/或注意力缺陷/多动障碍（ADHD）的成年人的个人残疾身份。在 541 名患有 LD 的成年人、475 名患有 ADHD 的成年人以及 433 名患有 LD 和 ADHD 共病的样本中，我们检查了残疾接受和残疾肯定分数的结构有效性以及这些分数与焦虑/抑郁、生活满意度和一般自我感觉之间的关联。功效。因子分析支持仅 LD 和仅 ADHD 样本中的 4 项残疾接受量表和 3 项残疾肯定量表。在患有 LD 或 ADHD 的成年人中，残疾肯定是生活满意度的一个有意义的预测因素，而残疾接受则预测一般自我效能。患有 LD 和 ADHD 的成人的残疾身份态度值得临床和学术关注，并且患有 LD 和 ADHD 共病的成人可能需要在个人残疾身份文献中特别考虑。
