Does Physical Disability Truly Create Impairment In Adjustment To College Life?, Jennifer R. Hurst
Does Physical Disability Truly Create Impairment In Adjustment To College Life?, Jennifer R. Hurst
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
This research utilized a mixed methods design to explore the differences between students with and without disabilities in perceived social support, coping style, self efficacy, and college adjustment. In addition, the influence of athletic participation on the above variables was examined in the sub-sample of students with disabilities. Neither survey nor interview results supported any differences between students with disabilities and students without disabilities on the study variables. Results suggested that discrepancies in college outcome variables (i.e. matriculation and persistence) were not a result of differences in disability status, but are the result of differences in adjustment, perceived social support, …

MPA/MPP/MPFM Capstone Projects
