Abstract

This study aimed to explore the impact of a proposed recreational sports program on certain personality traits in hearing-impaired children. The researcher employed an experimental approach,utilizing the personality traits scale for athletes on a sample of 15 individuals with special needs (hearing-impaired) who were intentionally selected. The sample consisted of a single group, aged between 9-12 years, from the school for deaf and mute children in the municipality of M'Sila. This group was subjected to the proposed recreational sports program in the study. The researchers used both the Freiburg Personality Inventory, translated and adapted to the Arab environment by Dr.Mohamed Hassan Allawi, and the proposed recreational sports program (designed by the
researchers). The study's findings revealed that the proposed recreational sports program contributed to reducing levels of nervousness, aggressiveness, depression, excitability, and control, while also enhancing and raising the level of sociability.
