The purpose of present study was to investigate the effectiveness attribution style’s change on depression rate decrease, of adolescent blind girls. This study was carried out on experimental basis in pre-test, post-test design with control group. For this purpose, using the available sampling method, 30 of the depressed blind girls were selected and randomly substituted into two test and control groups, they were studying in secondary and high school stages of Tehran ‘Narjes blind school’ in the academic year of 2011-2012 and were placed in negative state/situations of internal, stable and general attribution style. Subjects of the experimental group were placed under attribution style change program’s educational course in ten, 45 minutes sessions in group form; however the control group did not receive any kind of education in this regard. The research data collected by ‘adolescence and children depression test’ as well as by the questionnaire of ‘adolescent and children attribution style’ and analyzed using the Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) test and the Multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) test. The obtained results indicated that, the attribution style change of internal, stable and general to external, unstable and specific have significant effect on reducing of depression rate (p < 0/0001). This can be concluded, thus, that the attribution style change was effective in depression rate decrease of blinds girl’s adolescents.

Objective: The basic aim of this study was to compare the attribution style of blind and normal students. Method: The statistical population of the study were all the students of normal, exceptional and compilation academies of the academic year 2010-2011 .,The sample included 36 male students (18 blind and 18 normal sighted),who were selected by simple random sampling. In order to gather the data the Attribution Style Questionnaire (ASQ) was completed with the sample. .The data was analyzed with multivariate variance analysis. Results: The results showed that there is a significant difference between the attribution styles of blind and normal sighted students. Conclusion & recommendations: It is noteworthy to add that, the significant difference between the blind and the normal sighted students applies to all components including internal- external, Stable- Unstable and limited - totality elements of attribution styles and this must be taken into account in understanding the differences.
