ACCEPTANCE PSYCHOLOGY OF DISABLED ADOLESCENTS: AN ANALYSIS BASED ON THE CONVENTION OF THE RIGHTS OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES
Abstract
The Convention of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities(CRPD) provides an important guarantee for the disabled. Like ordinary people, the right to education is a basic human right for the disabled. This paper mainly analyzes the acceptance psychology of disabled adolescents for physical education, under the protection of the CRPD. First, the meaning and features of the acceptance psychology of disabled adolescents were elaborated based on the CRPD. Then, a questionnaire survey was conducted in several special education schools in Chongqing, China. Based on the survey data, the author analyzed the acceptance psychology of the disabled adolescents for physical education. The results show that the disabled adolescents have an average level of cognition of the CRPD, which varies from person to person; the main motivations for the disabled adolescents to participate in sports exercises are enhancing physical fitness, taking rehabilitation training, enhancing self-confidence and promoting mental and physical health; most disabled adolescents only receive physical exercise in class, without truly accepting the importance of physical education. The research results help to promote the rights of the disabled in China.
