Stigma (Stereotype and Discrimination)
Hi everyone,
I am a PhD student with vision impairment and I am conducting research on
stigma of being blind or vision impaired. I am looking for volunteers to
complete an online survey.
The aim of the study is to examine the responses of individuals who are blind
or vision impaired, aged 18-70, to stigmatizing incidents that are the
consequence of stereotyping and discrimination.
My research aim is to provide information on how we can respond to stigmatising
incidences in the most effective way (which both increases our emotional
well-being and enhances our social interactions).
The results of this study also can have implications for health and social
inclusion under NDIS.
I encourage you to participate in this study because if the NDIA has a better
understanding of stigma, we can be provided with funding for elements that
increase our community participation and well-being.
Also, by participating in this study, if you so choose, you will be entered
into a raffle which gives you a chance to win a $150 gift card for the first
prize, a $100 gift card for the second prize and a $50 gift card for the third
prize.
