Abstract

The study aims to identify the prevalence of psychological alienation among physically disabled individuals in a care institute in Baghdad and examine the differences in the average scores of psychological alienation between males and females. The study is divided into an introduction, two sections, and a conclusion. The first section presented the theoretical framework, discussing definitions and theories explaining the phenomenon of psychological alienation. The second section reviewed previous studies in this regard and discussed their results, drawing comparisons between them and the current study. The study results showed that the mean score of psychological alienation among the research sample of physically disabled individuals was higher than the hypothetical mean of the scale. This indicated that the study sample experienced a high degree of psychological alienation, which can be attributed to the physical limitations they face, affecting their behavior and sense of inadequacy, or owing to the interactions with members of society who may perceive them as physically incapable.
