This study investigated the effects of similar experiences of a loss of independence due to physical disability on coping with 'Uncontrollable Situations', and one's readiness for sympathizing with others in such situations. The subjects were 130 physically disabled individuals (PDI) and 126 normal individuals (NI). The investigation consisted of a questionnaire on their sense of reality and sympathy with others in such situations, and a completion of stories on the coping with uncontrollable situations. The results were as follows:(1) The sense of reality and sympathy was significantly more pronounced on subjects with a similar experience than those without a similar experience. (2) More PDIs with a similar experience chose an outcome where the story's protagonist continued to live alone despite the difficulties while fewer NIs with similar experiences would have selected the same. (3) Less PDI with a similar experience had emotional coping whereas more NIs with a similar experience had such a coping. These results suggested that a similar experience lead to an enhanced sense of reality and sympathy toward the difficulty of living alone.
