Abstract: (345 Views)
Background: Adolescence is one of the most sensitive periods of human development. Mistreated adolescents are deprived of psychological and emotional support from their parents. Lack of emotional regulation and inability to empathize is one of the most important psychological problems and challenges faced by mistreated adolescents. So far, no research has investigated the effectiveness of a treatment program based on lived experience in parent-child relationships on the level of empathy and emotional regulation of mistreated adolescent girls.
Aims: The present study was conducted to investigate the efficacy of the training program based on lived experience in parent-child relationships on empathy and emotional regulation of mistreated adolescent girls.
Methods: The present research method was a semi-experimental pre-test-post-test type with a control group. The statistical population of the research included all mistreated adolescent girls in the girls' support centers affiliated with the welfare department of Sanandaj City between March 2023 and January 2024. The statistical sample of the research included 30 mistreated adolescent girls who were selected by purposive sampling and randomly assigned to two experimental (15 people) and control (15 people) groups. The data collection tools in this research included the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents (Gross & John, 2003) and the Empathy Questionnaire (Davis, 1983). The educational program based on the lived experience of parent-child relationships was also held in the form of 8 sessions of 60 minutes and one session per week for the experimental group. Also, to analyze the data in this research, analysis of covariance test and SPSS version 23 software were used.
Results: The results of this research showed that the training program based on lived experience in the experimental group had a significant effect on the total score of empathy and its components (Empathic concern, Perspectiv-taking, and Personal Distress) compared to the control group (P< 0.05). Also, this training program was effective on the cognitive reappraisal strategy (P< 0.05), but the effectiveness of this training package on the emotional suppression strategy was not confirmed (P< 0.05).
Conclusion: According to the findings, it is suggested that care centers for mistreated adolescents use an educational program based on the lived experience of mistreated adolescent girls in parent-child relationships to improve empathy and emotional regulation in these adolescents.
