Abstract:   (2015 Views)
This study aimed to investigate effectiveness of resiliency training in enhancing assertive and self-esteem skills of male sixth-graders studying at all-boys elementary schools in Bandar Abbas. The present study was a pilot field project that included pre-test, post-test, and control group. Research sample consisted of 40 male sixth-graders studying at all-boys elementary schools who were selected and assigned into experimental and control groups based on multistage random sampling technique. Tools of this study included Gambrill-Richey Assertion Inventory and Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory and Both experimental and control groups had participated in assertive and self-esteem pretest prior to resiliency training. Then resiliency training was provided for experimental group, but not for control group. Immediately after the completion of training course, post-test was performed for both groups. The results of multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) showed that resiliency training increases students' self-assertion significantly. Therefore, it can be concluded generally that strengthening and training resiliency skills provoke assertive and self-esteem in students.
