Students with specific learning disorder have adaptation problems due to lack of favorable social relationships and numerous academic problems. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of predicting social adjustment based on metacognitive beliefs, alexithymia and empathy in students with special learning disabilities. In this descriptive and correlational study, 116 student were selected as a purposeful sample from all male and female students aged 10 to 14 years with specific learning disorder in Tabriz in 2019- 2020. Bell Social Adjustment Questionnaire, Wells Metacognitive Beliefs Questionnaire, Toronto Alexithymia Scale and Jolliffe & Farrington Empathy Scale were used to collect data. Data were analyzed by Pearson test and regression analysis. The results showed that social adjustment of students with specific learning disabilities had a positive and significant relationship and empathy and with metacognitive beliefs and alexithymia had a negative and significant relationship (p> 0.01). Metacognitive beliefs, alexithymia and empathy predicted 58% of the variance of social adjustment scores in students with specific learning disabilities (P <0.01). Considering the adverse consequences of learning disability and its widespread effects on the child's individual and social life, it is suggested that programs be implemented to promote appropriate metacognitive emotions and beliefs and to develop empathy among students with learning disabilities.

The results showed that therewere significant differences between blind persons and normal people withrespect to some variables such as self-awareness, self-management, socialawareness and cognitive self-awareness. The emotional intelligence of the blindsubjects was higher than normal subjects (p<0.05). Regression analysisshowed that the related models about the prediction of social adjustment basedon emotional intelligence components and meta-cognitive components weresignificant in the blind persons (p<0.01), but they were not significant innormal subjects (p>0.05).20percent of the total variance of socialadjustment in the blind persons was explained by emotional intelligence andmeta-cognitive beliefs. These results have applications for the prevention of social and psychological dysfunctionsand are usable in rehabilitation for blind people.
