The main goal of the research is to investigate the effect that the COVID-19 pandemic has on the self-esteem and locus of control of individuals with visual impairments or mobility impairments and to compare it with the corresponding effect it had on individuals without disabilities. The research was conducted in 2 phases. The first phase took place in March to April 2020, during the first wave of the pandemic and the second phase from November 2020 to January 2021, i.e. during the second wave of the pandemic. The first phase of the research involves individuals with and without disabilities from Greece, while the second phase involves individuals from both Greece and abroad (various countries).
