Abstract

In our population of participants with cognitive disabilities, we predicted that the degree of stigmatization they perceive relates to their sense of agency. There was a moderate negative correlation between perceived stigma and positive sense of agency (r=-.26, p<.001, 95% CI [-.439, .051], N=90).
