摘要
This study examined the mediating effects of acceptance of disability on the relationship between employment and daily life satisfaction in people with a mental disability. Participants included 160 subjects with a mental disability who responded to the second wave of the Panel Survey of Employment for the Disabled (2017). The data were analyzed by means of descriptive statistics and hierarchical regression analyses. The results showed that employment status and acceptance of disability had a significant effect on daily life satisfaction. Acceptance of one’s disability had an indirect mediating effect on the relationship between employment status, people with a mental disability, and daily life satisfaction. These findings suggest a need for practical interventions and policy implementation to improve the daily life satisfaction of people with a mental disability.
