Abstract
The present thesis investigates the stigma-resistance process in individuals with intellectual disabilities, who experience widespread stigmatisation and, consequently, are at risk of facing numerous harmful outcomes. Although intellectual disability stigma has been targeted through a (limited) number of multilevel interventions (i.e., structural, interpersonal, familial, and intrapersonal), it is yet unknown, directly from their perspective, how individuals with intellectual disabilities resist stigma. Additionally, to date no studies have explored perceived barriers to and facilitators of stigma resistance. Therefore, exploring these factors seems crucial for advancing our understanding of how the well-being of this stigmatised population may be enhanced.
