Abstract

China has the largest amount of individuals affected by auditory impairment. As education for the disabled rapidly develops, there is also an increasing proportion of students affected by auditory impairment attending high school and college. Although there are abundant studies regarding social adaptation and life attitude, the studies on graduating students with auditory impairment are still limited in the fields of cognitive science, sociology and specialized education. Regarding this fact, this paper presents a correlational study on the social adaptation of students with auditory impairment. As the aforementioned subjects progress into society after receiving education, they are likely to face more challenges in adapting to a larger social environment largely due to their disability. The study presented mainly focuses on the social adaptation ability of the students and other related factors, including life attitude, and the mediatory effects of the student’s self-esteem and self-efficacy. The subjects included in the study are students in specialized schools distributed in Tianjin, Nanjing and Chongqing provinces. A random sample of 20 students are selected through year 10 to 12 to fill out a questionnaire. The questionnaire consists of four sections: Social Adaptation Survey(SAS), Self-Esteem Survey(SES), General Self Efficacy Survey(GSES), and Life Attitude Survey(LAS), with a total of 65 questions.
