9411918 ENGEL This study explores the potential effectiveness of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Legal entitlements often fail to achieve their intended results because the beneficiaries are unwilling to perceive themselves as entitled to civil rights protections, and are therefore unwilling to invoke the law. This research asks whether American with disabilities view the law as relevant to their aspirations to obtain employment and whether they are prepared to use the law in the hiring process or in obtaining on-the-job accommodations for their disabilities. Extensive, in-depth interviews will be conducted with persons who use a wheelchair, persons with learning disabilities, and a control group at each of three different life stages. The contrasting experiences with disability and working will provide important data about the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and about the reasons why persons with disabilities do or do not make use of the law. ***

ENGEL：这项研究探讨了1990年《美国残疾人法案》的潜在效力。法定权利往往不能达到其预期的结果，因为受益人不愿认为自己有权享有公民权利保护，因此不愿援引法律。这项研究询问美国残疾人是否认为法律与他们的就业愿望有关，以及他们是否准备在招聘过程中使用法律，或者在为他们的残疾获得工作便利时使用法律。在三个不同的生命阶段，将对使用轮椅的人、有学习障碍的人以及对照组进行广泛而深入的访谈。残疾和工作的对比经验将为1990年《美国残疾人法案》的有效性或无效提供重要的数据，以及残疾人使用或不使用该法律的原因。＊＊＊
