The present study was conducted to explore the levels of
adaptive emotional abilities of adolescents with hearing
impairment as well as to find the roles of socio-demographic
variables in the development of their emotional abilities. For this
purpose an indigenous instrument, the Adaptive Emotional
Abilities Scale was developed based on Emotional Ability Model
proposed by Mayer and Salovey (1997). A comparative sample
of 1050 hearing adolescents was also recruited. The scale was
administered to 469 randomly selected adolescents with hearing
impairment and 1050 hearing participants between the age range
of 12 and 18 years. The instrument was found to have acceptable
level of validity and reliability. Proportion Consensus Method
(Barchard & Russel, 2006) was used for scoring. Results showed
that hearing participants were significantly higher on Adaptive
Emotional Ability Scale than the adolescents with hearing
impairment. On the other hand, it was found that sociodemographic
variables; such as access to hearing assessment and
speech services, time of intervention, presence of hearing
impaired family member, preferred language of family, and
preferred language of the participants themselves regardless of
their hearing loss; play important roles in developing the
adaptive emotional abilities of the adolescents with hearing
impairment. The results clearly indicated that hearing
impairment itself is not the only reason of poor performance of
the adolescents with hearing impairment.
