This study aimed to examine the relationship between listening to radio programs and positive thinking. It was conducted using a sample of are behaviorally disturbed blind adolescents, and compare them with the blind adolescents who were not behaviorally disturbed in terms of positive thinking and listening to radio programs. The study sample consisted of behaviorally disturbed blind adolescents (N=50) and non-behaviorally disturbed blind adolescents (N=50) aged 16-18 years. The tools used in the study involved a listening questionnaire for radio programmers (prepared by researchers), measurement of positive thinking for the blind (prepared by researchers), measurement of behavioral disorders of the blind (prepared by researchers, and measurement of socio-cultural economic level (prepared by the blind. Other tools used include the IQ test for the blind. The results showed a statistically positive correlation between the grades of the behaviorally disturbed blind on the radio listening questionnaire and the positive thinking scale, statistically significant differences in the degree of listening of radio programmers in the direction of the blind who are not disturbed by behavior compared to the behaviorally disturbed blind, and statistically significant differences in the degree of positive thinking in the direction of the disturbed blind compared to the undisturbed blind.
