Abstract
Physically disabled is a term used for individuals who have physical disabilities. Physical disabilities can be caused by life events or have been present since birth. People with disabilities are often considered to have a miserable life, but they can also feel happiness. Happiness can be seen through 5 indicators, including: (1) positive emotion; (2) engagement; (3) relationships; (4) meaning; (5) advancements. This study aims to obtain an overview of the happiness of early adulthood as a physically disabled person. There are 4 research subjects in their early adulthood, with characteristics aged 20-40 years in which 2 have a disability from birth and 2 others acquire physical disabilities through life events. This qualitative research uses in-depth interviews and interpretive phenomenological analysis. The research findings show that the four subjects have happiness, both which is a pleasant experience (hedonic) and that is achieved through meaning and purpose (eudaimonic). It was found that there was a relationship between the indicators that appeared in the four subjects, where all indicators led the subjects to feel happiness.
