Abstract [eng] The aim of the study was to assess connections between physically disabled adults' reactions to disability and social activities. The study included only those people who have physical disabilities. The survey was on for about 10 weeks. We used two questionnaires: "Reactions to Impairment and Disability Inventory". “ Work and Social Adjustment Scale (WSAS)” The research results have shown that indicators of descending social activity in the group of men are associated with such reactions as shock, anxiety, depression, internalized anger, and externalized hostility reactions. Indicators of descending social activity in the womens' group are more associated with shock, anxiety, depression, internalized anger, externalized hostility reactions. However, increasing rates of social activity are associated with acknowledgement response more expressed. The results show that depression and externalized hostility reactions predict reduced social activity. It also predicts the work of social activity: if people with physical disabilities have a job, then they will be more representative of social activity. Other social demographic characteristics (gender, age, education, marital status, willingness / unwillingness to talk with a psychologist and less / more disability) do not predict social activity.
