Abstract

Electronic networks have become an effective means of social communication, the most prominent of which is The Facebook website, where the researcher noticed, that these sites are increasing day by day among the various segments, classes and ages, and not only the normal, but the spread has extended to people with special needs in general and the blind in particular. In view of the importance of the topic of psychosocial compatibility for the blind in particular and the effect that social networking sites can have on them, and by reviewing existing academic literature, it became clear that there are no studies that tackled the relationship between the blind's use of social networking sites and their psychosocial compatibility. In light of the previous discussion, the research problem can be identified in monitoring the nature of the blind's uses of social media, knowing the motives for this use, and evaluating them for the wealth of these new media outlets from their point of view in light of the main determinants of the media wealth theory, and monitoring the relationship of those uses to achieving psychological and social compatibility and satisfying their psychological and social needs for the blind.
