过去三十年来，高等教育机构中存在学习障碍 (SLD) 的学生数量增加了两倍，目前约占本科生的 11%（Joyce & Rossen，2006 年；美国教育部，2013 年）。研究发现，在高等教育机构使用住宿的 SLD 在大学里比那些没有住宿的人更成功（Denhart，2008；Skinner，1999）。然而，研究表明，SLD 并不要求达到预期水平的住宿（Wagner、Newman、Cameto、Garza 和 Levine，2005 年）。本研究的目的是调查披露和不披露的SLD之间心理态度和因素的差异。此外，该研究还调查了 SLD 在决定是否向大学工作人员自我披露其残疾情况时会考虑哪些因素。为了实现这些目标，31 名有学习障碍的本科生完成了一项由定量量表组成的混合方法研究（自我决定量表 [SDS]、对请求便利的态度量表 [ATRA] 和修订的自我表露量表 [RSDS]）。随后，其中 15 名参与者被邀请完成 30 分钟的半结构化访谈。结果表明，选择披露和不披露的学生组之间 ATRA、SDS 和 RSDS 的总分存在显着差异。此外，来自学生访谈的数据揭示了学生表示影响他们披露决定以及披露深度的九个因素。
The number of students with learning disabilities (SLD) at postsecondary institutions has tripled over the past three decades and now constitutes about 11% of undergraduate students (Joyce & Rossen, 2006; U.S. Department of Education, 2013). Research has found that SLD who use accommodations at their postsecondary institution are more successful in university than those who do not (Denhart, 2008; Skinner, 1999). Yet, research suggests that SLD do not request accommodations at expected levels (Wagner, Newman, Cameto, Garza, & Levine, 2005). This study’s purpose was to investigate differences in psychological attitudes and factors between SLD who disclose and who do not disclose. In addition, the study examined what factors SLDs consider when deciding if they will self-disclose their disability to university personnel. To achieve these goals, 31 undergraduate students with learning disabilities completed a mixed methods study comprised of quantitative scales (The Self-Determination Scale [SDS], the Attitudes Towards Requesting Accommodations Scale [ATRA], and the Revised Self-Disclosure Scale [RSDS]). Fifteen of these participants then were invited to complete a 30 minute semi-structured interview. Results indicate that the total scores on the ATRA, SDS, and the RSDS were significantly different between the groups of students who chose to disclose and those who did not. In addition, data from student interviews uncovered nine factors that students indicated influenced their decision to disclose and how deeply they disclosed.
