Abstract: This study aimed to assess the social adaptability of individuals with blindness in Harare Metropolitan Province, Zimbabwe, using a quantitative approach. A total of 384 participants were selected through multistage sampling, with the sample size determined by Yamane’s formula. The study utilized a socio-demographic questionnaire and the Social Adaptation Self-Evaluation Scale (SASS) to gather quantitative data. Data analysis was conducted using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The t-test results showed a statistically significant difference in social adaptability between women and men, with women exhibiting better social adaptability (t = 2.35, p 0.05). This study demonstrates that gender, age, education, and religious background are significant factors influencing the social adaptability of individuals with blindness in Harare Metropolitan Province, Zimbabwe.
