I recently did some research using Stated Preference (Discrete Choice)
along social model lines. I used Oliver's three-fold definition of
disability: have an impairment, experience barriers and self-define, but I
split them up and I also let people choose from a list of potential
barriers in the transport environment (which was the focus of my
research). It was interesting to see how many people identified with
barriers even where they didn't have an impairment or self-define.
Perhaps I should write it up given this conversation... One person (out
of 411) self-defined, but didn't regard themselves as having an impairment.
