With that aim, the level of disabled sportsmen’s and non-sportsmen’s self-esteem and social desirability and the presence of significant differences according to personal characteristics have been tested. Finally, the relationship between disabled sportsmen’s self-esteem and social desirability situations were examined. The research is in relational survey model with quantitative technique. 199 sportsmen and non-sportsmen who were enrolled to the Federation of Physically Disabled Sports People participated in the research. In the research as measurement tools Akın’s (2010) "Social Desirability Scale" and Akın’s (2007) "Self-Esteem Scale" were used. For the first sub-objective, arithmetic average and standard deviation; for the second sub-objective parametric tests; for the third sub-objective correlation and regression analysis were used. These are some results of the research: Participants have high level of self-esteem and social desirability; disabled non-sportsmen have relatively higher social desirability than disabled sportswomen; non-sportsmen who receive disability salary have relatively higher social desirability than disabled who do not receive salary; 15-19 aged disabled sportsmen have relative lower social desirability and self-esteem level than those who are older. Disabled non-sportsmen who live in metropolitan or city center have relatively higher social desirability than those who live in village; disabled non-sportsmen who participate in social activities have relatively higher self-esteem than those who do not participate in social activities. At the end of the research some suggestions were made.
