Coping with stigmatization and discrimination related to blindness and low vision.

This study highlights the significance of personal and contextual aspects of coping with stigma and discrimination by demonstrating the complex nature of how people who are blind or have low vision cope with stigma. Coping efforts might be tenuous and require cognitive and/or behavioral skills and psychological resources and as such, individuals experiencing stigma might benefit from interventions aimed at improving coping skills and resources, such as self-advocacy, assertion, or positive reinterpretation.
