Beach, J. D.; And Others

Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, v89 n6 p531-40 Nov-Dec 1995

This study of 36 adults with visual impairments found that self-esteem was related to 3 self-report measures of skills: dependence on others, difficulty with daily living skills, and motivation to learn. Relationships were found between educational level and self-esteem, educational level and the three measures of skills, and employment status and motivation to learn. (Author)
