Abstract

This article provides a theoretical analysis of the concept of disability in the context of highlighting the stigma and prejudices at the society level. Three theories relevant in the conceptual frame of this material will be presented, such as: labelling theory, reference group theory and the concept of social dramaturgy. The second part of the article will present the results of a sociological inquiry accomplished by using focus group, conducted in Dolj county in the rural and urban environment, through which will be highlighted the perception of the disabled people on their image and status in society and on the prejudice level perceived in relation with other people.
