Abstract EN

This research aims to study the relationship between the self-concept among physically-handicapped working women with respect to nature of the disability, academic level, social status, and years of service at work.

The existence of a positive self-concept in the individual – as a human being – is considered a cornerstone for having a balanced personality capable of facing every day and future difficulties.

Positive self-concept enables the individual to adapt to facing the psychological problems.

The research sample is 135 physically-handicapped working women.

Two scales have been designed.

The first scale is measuring the self-concept.

Scientific methods such as validity and reliability tests have been adopted, as well as the suitable statistical formulae.

The main results of this research are: 1.

There are statistically significant differences at the significance level of 5% of self-concept among the sample members related to the nature of disability.

2.

There are no statistically significant differences at the significance level of 5% of self-concept among the sample members related to the academic level.

3.

There are no statistically significant differences at the significance level of 5% of self-concept among the sample members related to the social status.

4.

There are no statistically significant differences at the significance level of 5% of self-concept among the sample members related to the years of service at work.

A number of suggestions are concluded at the end of this paper.
