Abstract: (498 Views)
| The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of choice theory-based training on responsibility and externalizing behaviors among adolescents in Kerman during the 2025–2026 academic year. The research method was quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest and follow-up design with a control group. The statistical population included all adolescent students in Kerman, from which 30 individuals were selected via convenience sampling and randomly assigned to the experimental group (15 students) and the control group (15 students). The experimental group received the choice theory-based intervention, while the control group received no intervention. Data were collected using standard responsibility and externalizing behaviors questionnaires and analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA). The findings showed that choice theory-based training significantly increased responsibility and decreased externalizing behaviors in the experimental group compared to the control group, and this effect remained stable during the follow-up phase. Consequently, it can be concluded that by equipping adolescents with a self-evaluation system and replacing external control with caring habits, choice theory training serves as an effective and practical intervention for promoting responsibility and curbing behavioral challenges during adolescence, and its integration into school counseling programs is recommended. |
