Development and validation of the Physical Disability Identity Scale: A multistudy quantitative investigation with participant feedback.
Article in Rehabilitation psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
PURPOSE/
objectiveDisability has traditionally been viewed as a deficit in psychology research; however, accruing work suggests that viewing disability as an identity may be protective for mental health and well-being among disabled individuals. Therefore, developing disability identity measures that comprehensively capture this view of disability as an identity is an important step for promoting disabled individuals' flourishing. RESEARCH METHOD/
designTo address this, we conducted two studies aimed at developing and validating a new scale to measure physical disability identity among adults with physical disability. In Study 1 (
resultsMost participants reported that our scale was easy to comprehend and comprehensively captured their lived experiences. We found evidence for a six-factor structure of the new Physical Disability Identity Scale, which assessed the following dimensions: Connection, Satisfaction, Centrality, Openness, Individual Self-Stereotyping, and Disability Lens. In addition, results suggested that Connection, Satisfaction, and Openness were adaptively related to well-being and health, whereas Centrality, Individual Self-Stereotyping, and Disability Lens were mostly adversely related to well-being and health. CONCLUSION/IMPLICATIONS: This research suggests that our Physical Disability Identity Scale is valid among adults with physical disabilities and that physical disability identity dimensions may be valuable to consider in future work on well-being and health among individuals with physical disabilities.
