Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the level of emotional deprivation among orphaned students living in Jerusalem’s internal and external departments. The study’s population included all orphaned students living in Jerusalem's internal and external departments. The study’s sample consisted of 100 (11-16 year old male and female) students from residential institutions in Abu Dis, Al-Azariya and Jerusalem, who were randomly chosen from the study’s population. The findings of this study revealed a moderate level of emotional deprivation among orphans in Jerusalem, and there were no statistically significant differences due to the grade, department, or gender.
