Abstract

The present study was conducted on visually impaired adolescents to know their emotional competence. For the purpose, Scale of Emotional Competence (Sharma H.C. and Bhardwaj, R.) was administered to a sample of 18 visually impaired adolescents (12 boys and 6 girls). Results showed that both genders possess average level of emotional competence. It was seen that only in one component of emotional competence (encouragement of positive emotions) females scored higher than males.
