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.

This study investigated the relationship between emotional insight and attachment styles of intelligent and normal students in Zahedan. It was an applied research using field study method. Among all intelligent and normal students of a high school in Zahedan, 120 intelligent students and 120 normal students were chosen by simple random sampling method. To collect data, the questionnaire for emotional insight features and the revised questionnaire of a dual attachment scale were used which were developed by Collins and Read. t-test results showed that there was a significant difference between intelligent and normal students in their emotional insight; in other words, the emotional insight of intelligent students was more than that in normal students. Also the secure attachment style in intelligent students was more than that in normal students, but the dual and avoidance attachment styles in normal students was more than that in intelligent students. Pearson correlation method showed that there was a significant difference between emotional insight and secure attachment of normal and intelligent students; on the other hand, there was a direct relationship between emotional insight and secure attachment. Also, there was a reversed relationship between avoidance attachment and emotional insight.: It can be concluded that intelligent students had a better secure attachment, and this attachment style in normal students can be improved through exercise and training.

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.
