The relationship between emotional cognitive adjustment and perceived social support and determining the share of each one of these variable in quality of life for disabled athletes is an important factor to know. We selected 100 people among disabled athletes through convenience sampling and were asked to f ill emotional cognitive adjustment strategies scale questionnaire, perceived social support questionnaire and quality of life scale. Results revealed that social support parameters have signif icant relation with parameters required for quality of life. Similarly, all the parameters regarding emotional cognitive adjustments (except perspective taking) revealed positive and signif icant relation with all parameters of quality of life (including physical, psychological, interpersonal relation and environment). However, the perspective taking parameter has only positive and signif icant relation with psychological dimension of quality of life, and it has no signif icant relation with other dimensions. Meanwhile, negative parameters of emotional cognitive adjustment, self-blaming and catastrophic thinking has no signif icant relation with any parameters of quality of life. Rumination has only negative signif icant relation with interpersonal relation dimension of quality of life and blaming others parameter had negative and signif icant relation with the environment. Results of stepwise regression table show that among studies parameters, positive refocusing and important people are in the regression equation. In nutshell, positive refocusing and social support of influenced people impart to raise theirquality of life.
