独立于身体残疾的掌握感是否存在年龄差异？年龄和残疾对掌握程度有共同影响吗？我们认为，年龄和残疾对掌控感或控制感具有独立和协同的影响。我们分析了大量社区残疾人样本的数据，并对非残疾人受访者进行了比较。我们的研究发现，事实上，残疾人和老年受访者的掌握程度较低。而且;残疾对掌握的影响取决于年龄，而且不同年龄组之间的相互作用也不同。此外，我们的研究结果表明，残疾人在传统上与更大控制力相关的地位变量中处于不利地位。当我们调整这些状态变量时，我们通过残疾交互项大大降低了二次年龄的强度。我们在这些人的中年时期所发现的掌握模式向我们表明，残疾人和非残疾人在他们的一生中获得成就的机会可能存在差异，并且这种不平等会对他们的掌握感产生影响。我们的研究结果揭示了年龄残疾与掌控感之间复杂的非线性和协同关联，并为未来的研究提出了具有挑战性的问题。
Are there age differences in the sense of mastery, independent of physical disability? Do age and disability have joint effects on mastery? We propose that both age and disability have independent and synergistic effects on the sense of mastery or control. We analyze data from a large community sample of disabled individuals and a comparison of nondisabled respondents. Our study finds that, indeed, disabled and older respondents report lower levels of mastery. Moreover; the influence of disability on mastery is conditioned by age-and the interaction differs across age groups. In addition, our findings suggest that disabled individuals are disadvantaged in the status variables traditionally associated with greater control. When we adjust for these status variables, we reduce the strength of a quadratic age by disability interaction term considerably. The patterns we find in mastery among those individuals in their middle-years suggest to us that disabled and nondisabled individuals may live out their lives with differential opportunities for attainment and that this inequality has implications for their sense of mastery. Our findings reveal complex nonlinear and synergistic associations among age disability, and the sense of mastery and raise provocative questions for future research.
