To this ends, mothers of children with disabilities were required to complete the questionnaire consisting of 3 domains; existence, relatedness and growth. Then data were used to examine the perception of happiness and to compare the happiness level according to mothers’ personal background. Results were as follows. First, mothers’ perception of happiness was more or less positive and, in particular, showed the highest level in relatedness domain. Also mothers perceived their present happiness level lower than the importance level of happiness.
