In addition, this experience remains in connection with the sense of location of control and the way adolescents deal with adversities. The study included a sample of 60 people in the period of early adolescence, including 30 with physical disabilities and 30 physically fit. Key variables: "coping with stress" and "sense of location of control" were diagnosed using the questionnaire Jak sobie radzisz by Z. Juczyński and N. Ogińska-Bulik and Kwestionariusz do badania poczucia kontroli by G. Krasowicz-Kupis and A. Wojnarska. At the basis of her own research was the anticipation that incomplete physical fitness of adolescents, along with the sense of the location of control, would jointly determine how they dealt with stress. The main assumption has not been confirmed, but it has been proven, among others, that: (1) the location of the sense of control of the able-bodied is more similar to the internal one than in the case of disabled people; (2) disabled respondents display an undefined/ external and external sense of location of control significantly more often than efficient.
