Abstract

A total of 88 students, 44 Hearing impaired and 44 Non-disabled students were randomly selected from an educational institution of South Delhi. Half of the hearing impaired and nondisabled students were male and half were female. They were administered Mohsin’s (1979) self-concept inventory (MSCI). ANOVA revealed significant effect of hearing status but nonsignificant effect of sex on self-concept was obtained. It means that the findings of ANOVA and Regression analysis are similar. The hearing status emerged as the significant contributor to self-concept, but sex did not emerged as the significant contributor to the self-concept. The hearing status and sex had 12% variance in self-concept.
