Introduction: The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of schema therapy based on mothers' training on Social- emotional competence in adolescent girls with psychopathic behavior.
Methods: This semi-experimental study employed a pre-test, post-test, with a two-month follow-up design including an experimental and a control group. The statistical population comprised all female students in Senior high school (tenth and eleventh grade) at four public high schools in Karaj during the 2023–2024 academic year. The participants were 20 adolescent girls exhibiting psychopathic behavior and their mothers, who were identified among 520 10th and 11th-grade students The Participants were selected 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 Behavior Questionnaire and the Zhou & Ee Social- Emotional Competence Questionnaire. The intervention groups (mothers) underwent schema therapy (12 sessions of 90 minutes), but the mothers of control group did not receive any intervention. 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 mothers' 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 mothers' training as a complementary method alongside other approaches to address psychological problems and increase emotional-social competence in students with psychopathic behavior.
