Abstract :
Background Adjustment is one of the factors that promote mental
health and academic achievement of students. Objectives This study
examined the role of rational emotive behavior therapy on adjustment
among high school male students of Bostan-Abad city. Methods The method
was experimental and the statistical population included all 2nd and 3rd
grade high school students of the city of Bostan-Abad enrolled in the
academic year 2014 to 2015, that were estimated as 680 students. To
select the sample, the adjustment inventory for school students (AISS
Singh Sinha, 1993) was completed by 150 students, of whom 30 students
met the required conditions, and were divided randomly to two groups (15
in the experimental and 15 in the control group). Rational emotive
behavior therapy was conducted during eight sessions. Results After
entering the data into the SPSS20 software, the data were analyzed using
analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), which showed that after the
intervention, the relationship among general adjustment and its
components in the control and experiment group was significant (P
< 0.01). In this regard, Rational Emotive Behavior therapy
enhances the overall adjustment (F(1, 27) =
15.02, P = 0.001, ηP2 =
0.46) among the students. Conclusions The results indicate that rational
emotive behavior therapy improves the overall adjustment and its
components in high school male students.
