Abstract

The study aimed at building a professional future anxiety scale for visually impaired teenagers and exploring its psychometric characteristics. Thus, an initial overview of the scale was composed of (54) items divided into three dimensions based on Likert’s five-scale model: reasoning dimension, psychological dimension, and physical dimension. After adapting the scale to Braille, it was administered to (26) visually disabled participants of both genders in the School for Visually Disabled Children in Biskra City, Algeria. Based on statistical processing via the use of the SPSS software V 22, our results showed that the scale in its final form was composed of (44) items, distributed into three main dimensions and characterized by having appropriate psychometric characteristics. Therefore, this scale was recommended for its suitability of measuring the professional future anxiety on a large sample of teenagers in Algeria and other Arab environments. The study also recommended the adoption of this scale as a diagnostic tool for both finding the level of professional future anxiety in light of a number of variables and proposing guiding interventions that contribute to the reduction of the level of future professional anxiety.

الملخص

هدفت الدراسة إلى بناء مقياس قلق المستقبل المهني لدى المراهقين المعاقين بصريا والكشف عن خصائصه السيكومترية، وعليه تم بناء الصورة الأولية للمقياس مكونة من (54 فقرة) موزعة على ثلاث أبعاد: بعد التفكير؛ البعد النفسي؛ البعد الجسمي، وفق سلم ليكرت الخماسي، وبعد تكييف المقياس بطريقة برايل للقراءة تم تطبيقه على (26) مراهقا معاقا بصريا من الجنسين بمدرسة المعوقين بصريا بولاية بسكرة بالجزائر، وبعد المعالجة الإحصائية باستخدام الحزمة الإحصائية للعلوم الاجتماعية(SPSS22) ؛ دلّت النتائج على أن المقياس في صورته النهائية يتكون من (44) فقرة موزعة على ثلاث أبعاد، ويتمتع بخصائص سيكومترية مناسبة وبتالي فهو صالح لقياس ما وضع لقياسه، وعليه خلصت الدراسة إلى التوصية بتقنين المقياس على عينات قطرية في الجزائر، وفي بيئات عربية أخرى، وتبنيه كأداة تشخيصية للكشف على مستوى ودرجة قلق المستقبل المهني في ضوء عدد من المتغيرات ومن ثمة اقتراح تدخلات إرشادية تسهم في التخفيف من مستوى قلقل المستقبل المهني.
