Background: The aim of this study was to predict happiness in the blind in Isfahan based on the source of control, resilience and mindfulness.
Methods: The research was descriptive and correlational. The statistical population included all blind people aged 20 to 50 years under the auspices of the Welfare Organization of Isfahan. 200 people were selected by available and purpose-based methods. Research data were collected using the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (Argil, 2002), the Control Source Questionnaire (Rutter, 1996), the Resilience Questionnaire (Connor and Davidson, 2003) and the Mindfulness Questionnaire (Bayer et al., 2004). Statistical data were analyzed by descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation), correlation coefficient and multivariate regression with SPSS-26.
Results: The results showed that there is a significant relationship between internal and external source of control, resilience and each of its subscales including perception of individual competence, trust in individual instincts, positive acceptance of change, source of control and spiritual effects with happiness in the blind (05 / 0> P). There is a significant relationship between mindfulness and each of its subscales including observation, descriptiveness, action with mindfulness and unconditional acceptance with happiness in the blind (P <0.05).
Conclusion: Also, the results of regression analysis showed that predictor variables together could explain 36% of happiness changes.
