This study aimed to examine the predictive role of frustration tolerance and social competence in body image satisfaction among adolescents with physical disabilities. This research utilized a correlational descriptive design with a sample of 350 adolescents with physical disabilities, selected based on Morgan and Krejcie’s sample size determination table. Participants completed standardized self-report measures assessing body image satisfaction (MBSRQ), frustration tolerance (FDS), and social competence (SSRS). Data analysis was conducted using Pearson correlation to explore associations between variables and linear regression to determine the predictive power of frustration tolerance and social competence on body image satisfaction. All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS-27, and assumptions of normality, linearity, and multicollinearity were confirmed before conducting the regression analysis. Descriptive statistics showed that participants had a mean body image satisfaction score of 74.56 (SD = 9.87), a frustration tolerance score of 62.34 (SD = 8.23), and a social competence score of 68.21 (SD = 7.95). Correlation analysis revealed significant positive relationships between body image satisfaction and frustration tolerance (r = 0.52, p < 0.01) and body image satisfaction and social competence (r = 0.61, p < 0.01). The regression model was statistically significant (F(2, 347) = 90.75, p < 0.01, R² = 0.46), indicating that frustration tolerance (B = 0.42, β = 0.39, t = 5.25, p < 0.01) and social competence (B = 0.56, β = 0.47, t = 7.91, p < 0.01) were both significant predictors of body image satisfaction. The findings suggest that higher frustration tolerance and greater social competence are associated with increased body image satisfaction in adolescents with physical disabilities, with social competence playing a slightly stronger role. These results highlight the importance of resilience-building and social skills interventions to enhance body image satisfaction in this population.

The accelerated integration of digital technologies into education has renewed longstanding philosophical debates concerning the nature, role, and consequences of technology in schooling. While international scholarship has increasingly emphasized the importance of interrogating the philosophical assumptions underpinning teachers’ engagement with technology, little work has examined such orientations in the Iranian context. This qualitative study explores Iranian secondary school teachers’ implicit philosophies of educational technology and critically evaluates them through the conceptual frameworks of Andrew Feenberg’s philosophy of technology and Bernard Stiegler’s pharmacological perspective. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with twelve teachers and employing a hybrid deductive–inductive thematic analysis, this study identifies four Philosophical–Pedagogical Themes in Educational Technology (PPTET), each of which is revealed through the binary logic inherent in the pharmacological integration of technology in education. Through a Stieglerian reading, such dualisms are shown to obscure the constitutive and ambivalent nature of technological mediation in processes of teaching, learning, and individuation. The findings reveal a need to move beyond access-oriented and utilitarian narratives toward cultivating critical digital judgment and fostering pedagogical practices grounded in care, attention, and reflective technological engagement.
