The study aimed to determine the levels of both (Self.Awa.) and (Psy. Emp.) among individuals with (Vi. Imp.), as well as to examine whether there are statistically significant differences in (F. Th.) attributable to gender (male/female) and grade level (third, fourth, fifth, sixth). The study also sought to investigate the extent to which (F. Th.) can be predicted by self-awareness and (Psy. Emp.) in this population. The descriptive method was employed, and the sample consisted of (50) students with a mean age of (172.30) months and a standard deviation of (11.23) months. The study utilized three instruments developed by the researcher: a (Self.Awa.) Scale, a (Psy. Emp.) Scale, and a (F. Th.) Scale. The findings revealed moderate levels of both self-awareness and (Psy. Emp.) among individuals with (Vi. Imp.). Additionally, no statistically significant differences at the (0.05) level were found in (F. Th.) based on gender or grade level. The results also indicated that (Self.Awa.) and (Psy. Emp.) are weak predictors of (F. Th.) among individuals with (Vi. Imp.), They contribute 4.1% to predicting (F. Th.) among the visually impaired. The F-value for determining the possibility of predicting (F. Th.) through (Self.Awa.) with (Psy. Emp.) among the visually impaired reached (0.789), which is a statistically insignificant value at the 0.05 level. This indicates that the possibility of (F. Th.) through self-awareness with (Psy. Emp.) among the visually impaired is weak. The partial correlation coefficient reached (0.202), and the coefficient of determination reached 0.041, which is the value of r2 for the explanatory coefficient associated with the entry of variables into the regression equation.
