Abstract :
The present study investigated the effect of group logo therapy training on frustration and aggression of male high school students. The study employed a semi experimental method and a pretest- posttest with control group design. The population included all male high school students in Boroojerd city (2013-2014). Research instruments were Beck Hopelessness Scale (1988) and Ahvaz Aggression Questionnaire (Zahedi far, Najjarian and Shokrkon, (1379) S.c. 30 participants who had high scores on frustration in Beck Hopelessness Scale and on aggression in Ahvaz Aggressive Questionairein were Selected randomly and again randomly assigned into one experimental group (15 students) and one control group (15 students). The experimental group received the training and after two weeks both Beck Hopelessness Scale and Ahvaz Aggression Questionnaire were administered to experimental and control groups at the post test stage. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). The results indicated that there are signification differences between the experimental and control groups in frustration and aggression scales (P < 0.001) The results indicate that the use of group Logo therapy training can be effective in reducing frustration and aggression in male high school students.
