The current study aimed to identify the correlative relationship between environmental factors and the emotional equilibrium of visually impaired students of education age. The preliminary sample of 100 visually impaired students was selected to prove the validity and reliability of the study tools and a total sample of 103 students (53 females and 50 males) was considered to verify the study's hypotheses. The student ages were ranging from 12 and 20 years from Al-Noor schools for blinds at Port Said, Damietta and Ismaillia, Egypt. Environmental factors and the emotional balance scales has designed by the author and the validity and reliability of the study tools were verified.


The results showed that there was a high statistically significant correlation between the scores of the study sample for both environmental factors and emotional balance scales at the Significance level (0.01). The results also recorded high statistically significant differences at the 0.01 level between the average scores of males and females for the scale of the environmental factors in favor of female students. However, for the emotional confrontation dimension, it was found statistically significant differences at the level of 0.05 between the average scores of males and females scale in favor of females.
