Abstract

The current research aimed at investigating and determining the relationship between social support and psychological determination for a sample of blind teenagers. The study sample consisted on (250) blind teenagers divided into (145) blind male teenagers and (105) female blind teenagers with an age average reaching (14.30), and a standard deviation reaching (1.33). Their ages range from (13) to (17) years old. The study sample was selected from Al-Noor Schools for the Blind in the governorates of Qena, Sohag, Assiut, and Al-Minya. The researcher used the following research tools: scale of psychological determination (prepared by the researcher), and scale of social support (prepared by Asmaa Al-Sarsi, 2001). The study reached some findings, the most important of which are: (1) that the study hypothesis is totally confirmed and (2) there is a positive correlation relationship between social support and psychological  determination. This means that increasing the level of social support for blind teenagers is accompanied with noticeable increase in their psychological determination and vice versa, (3) there are not statistical significant differences between males and females in both social support and psychological determination and (4) that social support could predict psychological determination for a sample of blind teenagers.
