Abstract: (311 Views)
Background: Belief in intrinsic capabilities refers to valuing a specific set of cognitive strengths. Numerous studies have indicated significant relationships between self-efficacy and spouse selection criteria. The effectiveness of various educational interventions on self-efficacy and spouse selection criteria in students has been explored. However, to date, the actual impact of reality therapy has not been independently investigated.
Aims: The aim of this research is to examine the effectiveness of reality therapy education on self-efficacy and spouse selection criteria in single students.
Methods: The current research employed a semi-experimental design with pretest, posttest, and a two-month follow-up in the "control group" and "experimental group." The statistical population of this study included all single students at Allameh Tabataba'i University who were enrolled during the academic year 2019-2020. The sample consisted of 167 students selected through convenience sampling, with 86 females and 81 males completing the questionnaires. The instruments used in the study included the Marriage Expectations Questionnaire (Jones et al., 1996) and the Self-Efficacy Scale (Sherer et al., 1982). Data analysis was performed using SPSS software version 26.
Results: The findings indicate that, with the control of pretest effects, there is a significant difference in the posttest between the "control group" and the "experimental group" in single students concerning the variables of self-efficacy and spouse selection criteria (p< 0.05).
Conclusion: Based on the results, it can be inferred that reality therapy courses assist students in acknowledging and changing inappropriate attitudes towards marriage, enabling them to make informed decisions in this area. Reality therapy education helps students become familiar with any unhealthy and incorrect attitudes that may exist in their minds, and empowers them to find the best possible solutions for managing these perspectives.
