Introduction: The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of schema therapy based on mother training on Social- emotional competence in adolescent girls with psychopathic behavior.
Methods: This semi-experimental study employed a pre-test, post-test, and a two-month follow-up. Individuals were randomly put into an experiment and a control group. The participants were 20 adolescent girls exhibiting psychopathic behaviour and their mothers, who were selected from 520, 10th and 11th-grade students. They were chosen through purposive sampling and randomly assigned to either the schema therapy group or the control group (10 participants in each). The measurement tools used in this study included the Levenson Psychopathic Behaviour Questionnaire and the Zhou & Ee Social- Emotional Competence Questionnaire. The intervention groups (mothers) underwent schema therapy (12 sessions), while the mothers in the control group did not have any especial programs. The questionnaires were completed by their teenage children in the pre-test and post-test and follow up stages.
Results: The results of the mixed analysis of variance showed significant differences between the experimental and control groups in pretest, posttest, and follow-up assessments (p < 0.05). Schema therapy based on mother training was effective in increasing social- emotional competence. In other words, schema therapy based on mothers' training significantly enhanced the social-emotional competence of adolescents.
Conclusions: It is recommended to use schema therapy based on mother training as a complementary method alongside other approaches to address psychological problems and increase emotional-social competence in students with psychopathic behaviour.
