Abstract
Every country has its own unique challenges to manage their problems and develop opportunities. India has approximately 15 million visually impaired individuals who have challenges in reading, socializing, walking, etc. and approximately 63 million auditorily impaired individuals who have challenges in the exchange of communication. The well-being of these two groups is under threat as they struggle to experience a good quality of life and they do not belong to the mainstream of the society. These two challenged groups may have their own beliefs about control—either internal (they control the events) or external (events control them). So the present study attempts to find out whether the visually and auditorily impaired individuals differ in terms of internal and external loci of control. The sample consists of 100 individuals in the age group of 20 to 30 years of which 50 are visually challenged and 50 are auditorily challenged. Purposive sampling technique and Expost facto research design was used. Rotter’s Internal–External Locus of Control Scale (Rotter, 1966) and General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) (Goldberg, 1972) were used. Independent t test (critical ratio) and Pearson’s product moment correlation were used to analyse the data.
