Abstract

The purpose of this study to investigate the effectiveness of schema therapy on the level of resilience and social adjustment of adolescents in Kerman. The method of this study was quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest and control group. The statistical population of this study included all female students aged 16 to 18 in Kerman, of which 30 were selected by voluntary sampling. Then the experimental and control groups of 15 were randomly assigned. The ten-session schema therapy protocol was performed on the experimental group. In the pre-test and post-test stages, both groups completed the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (2003) and the Bell Adjustment Inventory (1961). The results of multivariate analysis showed the schema therapy had a significant effect on the resilience and social adjustment of female students (P<0.05). Because of the importance of adolescents' readiness to cope with the stresses of this period and based on the results, it can be said that resilience and social adjustment can be improved through receiving effective training.
