Abstract :
Background and aims: The aim of present research was to investigate the effect of life skills training on self-believe and risk taking of first high school male students.
Methods: The research method was experimental with pre-post, fallow up and control group. The sample consisted of 60 male students who were selected by random cluster sampling. Then randomly divided into two groups as experimental and control. The instruments were Pires- Haris self-concept Questionnaire, Iranian Adolescents Risk-taking Scale and Life Skills Training Guide. The experimental group administered 9 sessions of life skills training but the control group did not receive any intervention. Also, we used MANCOVA to analyze the data.
Results: The results revealed that there were significant differences between experimental and control group in self concept and risk taking (P < 0.01). The rate of self concept in experimental group in compare with control group increased, but the rate of risk taking decreased. Furthermore, these results significantly persistent after fallow up period.
Conclusion: life skills training effective on self-believe and risk taking of first high school male students.
