Research Study Opportunity:
“Relationship among Resilience, Social Support and Grit in People with Visible and Non-visible Disabilities
Introduction and Purpose of the Study: The purpose of this study is to examine the relationships among resilience, grit, and social support in individuals with visible and non-visible disabilities. This is to help foster positive self-identity and to have a strength-based focus. A disability is an important part of someone’s identity. Therefore, this study will foster an awareness of a social identity surrounding an individual’s disability. The following scales will be used: the Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale (MSPSS), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and the Grit scale.

Join a study about people who live in New York and are “on disability”, led by undergraduate thesis student Myriam Joseph-Schilz (msj2155@barnard.edu).
