Abstract:

This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of behavioral self-regulation training on improving impulsivity symptoms, attention, and concentration of students with hyperactivity-impulsivity. The research method was quasi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design with the control group. The statistical population of the study included all children with ADHD in the age range of 9-12 years who were referred to medical centers and students of special schools in Ardabil in the second half of 2020. The number of samples included 30 children in the community who were selected by the available sampling method and randomly assigned to experimental (n=15) and control (n =15) groups. The experimental group received 9 sessions of 45-60 minutes of behavioral self-regulation training. In order to collect data, the Self-restraint scale (SRS) (Weinberger and Schwartz, 1990), Toulouse piéron test (TPT) (1986), and Test of Attention (TAD2) (1970) were used. Data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of variance (MANCOVA) with SPSS22 software. Results showed that behavioral self-regulation training had a significant effect on a decrease in impulsivity symptoms (F= 157.862; P<0.01) and improved attention (F= 38.57; P<0.01) and concentration (F =123/203; P<0.01). The results showed the appropriate scientific capability of self-regulatory educational intervention on improving impulsivity symptoms, attention, and concentration of students with impulsivity-impulsivity.
