Out of the Disability Closet: Strategic use of perception management by select university students with disabilities
Abstract
This study examines the ways in which university students with apparent and hidden disabilities actively manage the perceptions of others. Interview data were collected and analysed by theme. Students indicated that they valued their own experience of disability, but were aware that knowledge of their disability altered the behaviors of others toward them. Whereas some perception management strategies have previously been called denial and 'passing,' for our participants these behaviors constituted a set of interpersonal skills. Participants evaluated themselves positively while struggling to project an image as complex individuals rather than stereotypes. Within deviance theory, passing as non-disabled has been conceptualised as a reactive social behavior that is motivated by low self-regard or fear. Our findings do not support this model. We, therefore, examine perception management within the framework of social identity theory.

“Indeed, the camouflaging process described by our participants represents a dynamic and sophisticated means of influencing and shaping the social environment that bears resemblance to the repertoire of behaviours described in the stigma management literature (e.g. Clair et al., 2005; Olney & Brockelman, 2003; Pachankis & Goldfried, 2006).”

In the citing paper
“Individuals with concealable stigmas (e.g. mental illness diagnosis, particular sexual orientations or a history of incarceration; Goffman, 1963; Jones et al., 1984) use identity or impression management strategies to control their interactions with others in order to conceal their stigmatised identity and pass as a more valued identity, thereby securing the acceptance and belonging of others (e.g”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
