Abstract

Purpose/Objective: This manuscript describes the initial factor exploration of disability identity and preliminary psychometric characteristics based on an adult self-report tool. Disability was defined broadly, and the sample included individuals with visible and/or hidden disabilities across many disability groups (i.e., physical, intellectual, learning, mental illness). Method: Items were developed (n = 102) and a pilot measure was administered to a sample of adults with disabilities (n = 566). An Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) using the WLSMV estimator was conducted. The resulting items were sent to expert reviewers for evaluation. Results: Following the exploratory analyses, 37 items were retained that made up four factors: internal beliefs about own disability and the disability community, anger and frustration with disability experiences, adoption of disability community values, and contribution to the disability community. The pilot measur
