The aim of the present study was to compare the self-determination and its dimensions between students with and without intellectual disability. Research methodology is the form of scientific-comparison. The population of the study consisted of all students with and without intellectual disability age 14 years and older which in educated year 91-92 are educating at schools in shiraz. The participans of this study were 120 students (60 with intellectual disability and 60 without intellectual disability) with age of 14 and above, which in targeted way were selected from the school related to with and without intellectual disability students. In this research, self-determination and its dimensions were evaluated by using Self-Determination Scale (Gomezvela.et.al,2012). In order to analysis the data, two way analyse of variance and repeated measures were used. The results indicated that students with intellectual disability gain lower score in self-determination rather than student without intellectual disability. Also there were not significant difference between boys and girls in total scores of self-determination, behavior autonomy and psychologically empowered dimensions. Only in self-realization there was a significant difference between girls and boys. The other results of this research is that, among the different dimension of self-determination between two groups students with and without intellectual disability, the higher rank accrued to psychological empowerment and the lower rank accrued to behavioral autonomy. Also according to the parents education levels, there was significant difference in total score of self-determination and its dimensions between both groups of students with and without intellectual disability.

Objective: This study reviews and compares the relationship between different aspects of the relationship between two variables: self-determination skills and the quality of life in two groups of male students: students with and students without hearing damage of guidance schools in the academic year 88-89 in Tehran. Method: This is a correlation study. The statistical population has been all the male students with and without hearing impairment of all guidance schools of Tehran in the academic year 88-89. Accessible sampling was undertaken including 18 hearing impaired and 15 non- hearing –impaired students. The samples were matched for age, intelligence and social class. The assessment tools were: the Self Determination Scale and the Quality of Life questionnaire. The statistical analysis was done with the Fisher's Z test. Results: The results show that only the correlations between two dimensions of “having choice” and “being independent” were significantly different between the two groups. There were no significant differences in the correlations amongst other aspects of the findings. So we can conclude that self- determination relationship skills with quality of life in both groups are equal between the two groups, whereby there is no significant difference to register. Conclusion and recommendations: Based on the results of this study, it is to promote the quality of life of the students suffering from hearing impairments while the results indicate that their autonomy is not sufficient as “having choice” and “being independent” are the underlying capacities they have shown to be lacking.
