Abstract

This study aimed to determine the relationship between the emotional intelligence and future anxiety for blind adolescents. It also aimed at identifying the indicators of social workers' roles with blind adolescents. A study sample was comprised of (77) blind adolescents (43 males, 55.8%, 34 females, 44.2%). The study found that there is a statistically significant inverse relationship at the level of significance (0.01) between emotional intelligence and future anxiety for blind adolescents. The level of emotional intelligence dimensions for blind adolescents is high, and the level of the future anxiety dimensions for blind adolescents is medium. There are no statistically significant differences between the mean degrees of males and females on both emotional intelligence and future anxiety scales.
