Onset of a disabling condition whether it implies primacy or not usually brings with it a change in the person's perception of the environment. Traditionally, Rotter's locus of control has been used to describe an individual's psychological orientation to the environment. Studies which investigate the impact of disability on locus of control are all but lacking. This study investigates the relationships between women with work or activity limitations and their perception of personal and environmental control. Correlational and chi-square (contingency table) analysis are used to discuss the relationship.

Rehabilitation is charged with the restoration of people who have or suffer handicapping conditions which sufficiently impair their ability to perform in the labor force market or to lead an independent life. Traditional research efforts have been focused upon the overall effect of rehabilitation efforts. This study investigates the impact of one's socioeconomic status as well as the person's locus of control and severity of their limitations have on their level of participation in the labor force. Correlational and chi-square (contingency) analyses are used to describe and test the strength of any relationships.

The Impact of Public Assistance on the Rehabilitation Process of Handicapped Women

Public assistance has been described as a "free" lunch for the service recipient. However, nothing can be further from the facts. Transfer dollars operate as a strong vocational disincentive, not by destroying the will or desire to work, but more by adding to the environmental barriers of seeking gainful employment. This current study investigates the impact of transfer income upon the work behavior of handicapped women. Correlational analysis, contingency (chi-square) analysis and analysis of variance were used to test the strength and direction of the relationships between work behavior and disability, family size, educational attainment, and transfer income from various sources.
