Sažetak
In recent decades, the development of deaf identity has been the focus of many researchers working in this field. Research findings demonstrate that the development of deaf identity has been affected by many different determinants, including parental hearing status, language, mode of communication, grade of hearing impairment and education. As the vast majority of deaf children are born to hearing parents, it is essential to understand all the determinants that influence the development of their identity. Two relevant scales that aim to assess the cultural identity of the deaf are DIDS – Deaf Identity Development (Glickman, 1993) and DAS – The Deaf Acculturation Scale (Maxwell-McCaw & Zea, 2011). Through an overview of research applying these two scales, this paper will describe relevant determinants and demonstrate how they influence the development of Deaf identity from the perspective of Deafness as a culture.
