THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HARDINESS AND PERCEIVED SOCIAL SUPPORT IN ADOLESCENTS WITH SENSORY AND MOTOR DISABILITIES
The article presents the results of a study aimed at identifying the relationship between hardiness and perceived social support in adolescents with sensory and motor disorders (n=155), as well as their healthy peers (n=112). The most significant contribution to the hardiness of adolescents with severe visual or motor impairments is made by the perceived instrumental support, while in the samples of adolescents with moderate sensory and motor disorders and healthy adolescents hardiness is primarily interconnected with perceived emotional support from significant others.
