Abstract :

The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of self-expression education on increasing self-differentiation in female junior school students. The population consisted of all students studying at one of the schools located in the first region of Tehran.  A sample of 32 was selected through multistage sampling technique. The data gathering instrument was self-differentiation questionnaire. The experimental group received ten 90-minute sessions of self-expression education. The control group received no instruction. Covariance was used to analyze the results. The self-differentiation of subjects who had received self-expression education had significant increase. The level of emotional reactivity among the experimental group was significantly low. The level of interpersonal infusion among the experimental group was lower to a significant level. There was no significant difference in emotional escape between the experimental and control group. It was also true in terms of self-status.
