The aim of this study is to compare responsibility between siblings of students with and without intellectual disabilities. The statistical population of this research includes the whole adolescents (aged between 12 and 18) who have siblings with and without intellectual disabilities in Shiraz city. The sample size is 170 adolescents (80 adolescents having siblings with intellectual disabilities and 90adolescents with normal siblings) that are selected by purposeful sampling. Adolescents' Responsibility Questionnaire is used for measuring the responsibility. Analysis of the data using two-way analysis of variance test shows that the responsibility of siblings of students with intellectual disabilities is significantly more than the responsibility of siblings of students without intellectual disabilities. Moreover multiple variance analysis shows that except loyalty, all the other minor scales of responsibility in siblings of students with intellectual disabilities are significantly higher than sibling of normal students. According to the findings, it is suggested that the responsibility model in siblings of students with intellectual disabilities should be studied and used by normal families so that their children become more responsible

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine and compare the effectiveness of achievement motivation, self-efficacy and self-esteem group trainings on self-esteem of physically disabled females in Isfahan city.
Method: Research design was semi-experimental. The statistical population included all 18-35 year old women members of Isfahan branch of the NGO named the Society of Disabled. A random sample of 80 of the statistical population was selected, and after responding to Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale(RSES), forty of the primary sample whose self-esteem scores were lower than the other half were selected as the final sample and assigned to three experimental groups and one control group randomly. Then nine weekly sessions of self esteem group training, self-efficacy group training, and achievement motivation group training were administrated for 1, 2, and 3 experimental groups respectively. At the end of all sessions, post- test (RSES) again administrated for three experimental groups and control group. For assessing subject's characteristics, in addition Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), a demographic characteristics questionnaire was used. Data were analyzed using analysis of covariance and LSD Post Hoc test. Probability level P<0/05 was used to test the hypotheses.
Results: Results showed a significant effect for self esteem group training(P=0/023), self-efficacy group training(P=0/006), and achievement motivation group training(P=0/016); but there was no significant difference between the effect of self esteem group training, self-efficacy group training and achievement motivation group training. Conclusion and recommendations: self esteem group training, self-efficacy group training and achievement motivation group training can be effective for enhance self-esteem of physically disabled persons and in result for their rehabilitation. Accordingly it is proposed that these three types of educational programs be implemented on a regular basis in medical centers and educational and non-governmental organizations for people with physical disabilities.
