In this research, a semi-experimental method of pre-test, post-test and follow-up with a control group was used. The statistical population included mothers with children aged 7 to 12 with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder who referred to psychology and psychiatry clinics in Qom. The children were boys&#39; primary school students in 2022. Using available sampling method, 30 anxious mothers and 30 non-anxious mothers were selected and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. After the pre-test, behavior modification methods were implemented for 10 weeks in the amount of 10 1-hour training sessions in the experimental group. The behavior modification training package was developed based on Barclay&#39;s perspective and using the latest approaches to behavior change. At the end of the training sessions, both groups (experimental and control) were given a post-test. Beck Anxiety Questionnaire (BAI 1990) was used to measure mothers&#39; anxiety and Self-Control Rating Scale (SCRS) was used to measure self-control. The findings showed that teaching methods of behavior change and correction to mothers is effective in increasing the self-control skills of children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and the moderating role of mothers&#39; anxiety was confirmed. The findings have useful implications for psychologists and counselors in helping families of hyperactive children.</span></span></span></span></span></div> Teaching methods to change and modify behavior, hyperactivity, self-control, mothers' anxiety 119 130 http://ieepj.hormozgan.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-697-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Abolfazl Saeifi saeifiabolfazl@gmail.com 100319475328460010323 100319475328460010323 No PhD Student, Department of Educational Psychology, Arak Branch, Islamic Azad University, Arak, Iran Ahmad Aghajani a.aghajani@cfu.ac.ir 100319475328460010324 100319475328460010324 Yes Assistant Professor, Department of Educational Sciences, Ayatollah Taleghani Campus, Farhangian University, Qom, Iran Hamid JafarianYasar h.jafarian@cfu.ac.ir 100319475328460010325 100319475328460010325 No Assistant Professor, Department of Educational Sciences, Ayatollah Taleghani Campus, Farhangian University, Qom, Iran
