Abstract

The purpose of this research is based on the theoretical ground to specify how visually-impaired people`s morbid record who became disabled after living as a social being, re-socialize from sports to affiliate to society. Detailed issues for the research are: First, what process does the sports de-socialization of people with visually-impaired halfway take? Second, what are supportive factors of the sports socialization of people with visually-impaired halfway? Third, how does the socialization process of people with visually-impaired halfway to sports take its shape? To specify this research, establishing a theoretical framework of reference through a documentary records prior to data collection, to precede series of study methods. Qualitative methodology was selected as the most appropriate study method for the research. Research participants consists of five(5) with prior morbid record among the people with visually-impaired halfway selected by a purposeful sampling, and a data was collected from the five(5) participants by means of a narrative interview and phone interview. For a data analysis, category of main subjects, its attribute and dimensionshave bee discovered through the use of a continuous comparative method, and analysis method of a grounded theory such as open coding, axial coding, and selective coding, as well as theory and sensitivity. Through these methods and research procedure, category of main subjects, its attribute and dimensions which were formed in the course of a data analysis have been interpreted on the theoretical basis of a ground theory of `Strauss & Glaser, 1965`, reaching its conclusions as follows: First, in regard to sports de-socialization process of visually-impaired halfway, they lived a normal social life as non-handicapped being, after getting a second cryptogenic infection to be medically judged as disorder, suffering a psychological, social distress, which ultimately leads to the de-socialization even from sports. Second, a mediator for socialization to sports of people with visually-impaired, suffers some difficult period for the time being due to the conflicts over his/her current circumstance and prior surroundings as a non-handicapped person, until his/her friends or mass media give support and let him/her enter a rehabilitation institute, to experience how to go through re-socialization as a handicapped person based on the socialization learned prior to the handicapped state.
