Psychological Features of Self-Value of Women Raising Children With Disabilities

Self-value is a set of knowledge about oneself and one’s own evaluative attitude towards them. The purpose of the research was to study the characteristics of self-value of women raising children with disabilities. 44 respondents took part in it — mothers raising children with disabilities of primary school age (6.5–10 years), without taking into account gender differences. Based on the results of the study, a psychological portrait of women having high and low levels of self-value was determined. In the group of women with a high level of self-value, correlations were found between this indicator and intelligence, suspiciousness, radicalism, and rejection of the child’s illness.
