Research: The Stigma Disabled People Face During Negotiations.

The article discusses the stigma faced by disabled individuals, particularly during negotiations in the workplace. Research shows that disabled employees, especially women, are often perceived as less competent, less productive, and more dependent, leading to lower levels of employment and promotion. The study conducted by Terri R. Kurtzberg and Mason Ameri explores how specific disabilities, especially invisible ones like mental health conditions, can impact perceptions and evaluations in negotiation scenarios. The findings highlight the need for companies to address bias, improve performance evaluation systems, adopt disability inclusion practices, and conduct regular inventories of workplace practices to create a more inclusive and equitable environment for all employees.
