This study investigated the impact of wheelchair rugby participation on three psychological variables, as well as differences between American and Japanese wheelchair rugby players. A total of 84 wheelchair rugby players (58 Americans and 26 Japanese) responded to an electronic survey designed to allow for both post-hoc and retrospective pretest measurements. The results of repeated measures ANOVA indicated a positive effects of wheelchair rugby participation on life satisfaction, self-esteem, and athletic identity. The results also indicated that Americans scored higher than Japanese participants in both pretest and posttest in life satisfaction and self-esteem. Americans also demonstrated greater improvement in life satisfaction.
