Aim: The purpose of this study was to compare self-acceptance, self-compassion, and fear of negative evaluation by others in blind, visually impaired, and normal people. Method: The method of this causal-comparative research and its statistical population included all blind, partially sighted, and sighted people in Ardabil city in 2022. 60 people (30 blind, 30 visually impaired) were selected as the study group using the available sampling method and 30 people (sighted people) were selected as the comparison group through comparison and formed the research sample. They gave. To collect information, Lori's (1983) fear of negative evaluation, Neff's (2003) self-compassion, and Chamberlain and Haga's (2001) unconditional self-acceptance questionnaires were used. The obtained data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance. Findings: The results showed that there is a significant difference between self-acceptance, self-compassion, and fear of negative evaluation by others among three groups of blind, partially sighted, and normal people. In this way, self-acceptance and self-compassion are lower in blind people than in visually impaired people and lower in visually impaired people than in normal people. Also, on the scale of fear of negative evaluation by others, blind people, visually impaired people, and normal people obtained higher scores (P < 0.01). Conclusion: Due to the low self-acceptance and self-compassion and the high fear of negative evaluation of others in the blind and visually impaired group compared to the normal group, further research is proposed to design and plan the training for this group by carefully recognizing and paying full attention to individual differences by specialists who provide psychological services to people with visual impairment.
