Abstract
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.
