Abstract/Summary

This study compares the anxiety, depression, and hostility among orthopedic and health impaired adolescents and adults. The participants of the study included 30 adolescents and 48 adults who are orthopedic impaired. On the other hand, there were 15 adolescents and 22 adults who are health impaired. The Multiple Affect Adjective Check List (MAACL) was used to measure anxiety, depression, and hostility. The results showed that there were no significant differences between orthopedic and health impaired adolescents in terms of anxiety, t(43) = 0.66, p .05 depression, t(43) = 0.79, p .05 and hostility, t(43) = 0.49, p .05.The health impaired adults were significantly higher in terms of anxiety, t(68) = 2.49, p .05 depression, t(68) The orthopedic impaired adults were significantly higher in depression than orthopedic impaired adults, t(76) = 2.01, p .05. There were no significant differences between orthopedic impaired adolescents and adults in term of anxiety, t(76) .05, and hostility, t(76) = 0.73, p .05.The health impaired adolescents and adults had no significant difference in terms of anxiety, t(35) = 0.15, p .05, depression, t(35) = 0.96, p .05, and hostility, t(35) = 1.06, p .05.Among the physically handicapped, there were significant relationships between anxiety and depression, r = 0.451, p .05 anxiety and hostility, r

It is recommended that further studies focus on personality trait, culture, religious value, and emotional intelligence as factors which may be related to anxiety, depression, and hostility among the physically handicapped.
