Thisstudy aimed to investigate the role of meta-cognitive beliefs and emotionalintelligence in predicting social adjustment in blind peopleand its comparisonwith normal individuals. The research method was causal comparative and thestatistical populations were all the blind persons who were the members ofArdabil Blindness Association in the first 6 months of 2013 and the ordinarypeople in the age range 20 to40that had no disabilities. 80 subjects (50percent blind persons and 50 percent normal people) were chosen with availablesampling method and the data were gathered using Meta-Cognition Questionnaire,Emotional Intelligence Index and Adjustment Index, and they were analyzed bychi-square, ANOVA and multivariate regression. 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.

Nowadays, emotions have an important effect on our behaviors. Therefore, in many studies conducted on emotional intelligence (EI), the researchers have tried to find out the relationship of EI and different variables. However a few studies have been conducted to examine whether emotional intelligence training can improve EI. The purpose of the present study is to investigate EI training and to evaluate its effectiveness on the EI of students with visual impairment. We used a pre-post test experimental design through a convenient sample of 19 middle school students with visual impairments who are divided into two experimental (9 students) and control groups (10 students). In this study, EI is measured by the Bar-On Emotional Quotient-Inventory Youth Version (Bar-On & Parker, 2000). Also, T-test and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) are used to analyze the gathered data. The results show significant differences between the two groups in EI after 15 sessions of emotional intelligence training. It is also revealed that it is possible to develop EI training programs for enhancing EI in students with visual impairment.

This research is aimed at assessing and comparing the degree of emotional intelligence, self- esteem, and depression in crime victim and non-victim girls aged between 15 and 18. The sample includes 31 crime victims living in the Welfare and Rehabilitation Organization of Tehran and 31 non-victim girls who have interaction with them as visitors. They are selected via convenience sampling and homogenized in terms of age and education. The data are gathered by applying Cooper's Emotional Intelligence, Beck's Depression Inventory, Cooper Smith Self- Esteem Questionnaire. The results indicated that girls who are crime victims have high depression, low self-esteem and emotional intelligence scores, though the scores are not pathologically low. Based on the findings of this research, parents are recommended to learn about emotional intelligence abilities and apply them on their daughters who are likely to be victims of social harms.
