Executive functions and coping with stress in young adults with visual impairment in Saudi Arabia context

The aim was to examine the relationships between executive functions and coping with stress in young adults with visual impairment in Saudi Arabia context. 110 individuals were included in the study. They had severe visual impairment. Their visual loss was congenital. The sample had 30 females (27.2%) and 80 males (72.8%). The Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test was performed, and the results indicating normality of the score distribution for the variables determined the use of Pearson’s r coefficient. For effect size, the coefficient of determination (r2) was used, interpreted using Cohen’s table, establishing that the low level is 0.2. medium: 0.5 and high: 0.8. Significant relationships exist between EFs and problem-focused, emotion-focused, and avoidance-focused coping mechanisms in young adults with visual impairment in Saudi Arabia context. Significant relationships exist between the EFs and emotion-focused coping style, avoidance-focused coping style, and avoidance coping style in males and females.
