In order to measure the research data, scale of self-control and behavioral activation and prevention systems was used. In order to use this scale, its reliability and validity were measured and confirmed. The research data were analyzed in the SPSS.the findings revealed that the score of behavioral activation and prevention systems in two groups of respondents (blind and normal ones) is different (p≤0.001). Also the findings revealed that the score of self-control systems in two groups of respondents (blind and normal ones) is not different (p≤0.001).
