AbstractThe aim of this study was the effectiveness of bullying control training program on interpersonal problems of bullying adolescents. The present study was performed by quasi-experimental method with pre-test-post-test design and one-month follow-up with experimental and control groups. The statistical population included adolescents aged 14 to 17 years in district 17 of public schools in Tehran. Forty adolescents who met the inclusion criteria and scored high on the Harter Bullying Questionnaire were randomly selected and assigned to the experimental and control groups. The research instruments included Barkham et al.'s (1996) Interpersonal Problems Questionnaire, which was completed by both groups in three stages: pretest-posttest and one-month follow-up. The bullying control training program was performed in 8 sessions of 90 minutes for the experimental group. Data were analyzed using repeated measures multivariate analysis of variance using SPSSV22 software. The results showed that bullying control training to bullying adolescents in explicit and demographic variables (F=7.98 and P=0.001), openness to experience (F=10.95 and P=0.0005), consideration of others (F=22.86 and P=0.0005), aggression (F=10.59 and P=0.0005) and supportiveness and participation (F=19.77 and P=0.0005) are effective. However, this rate was not effective for the dependency variable (F=0.07 and P=0.930). Finally, based on the results of this study, it can be said that bullying control training is effective on interpersonal problems of bullying adolescents aged 14 to 17 years and this training can be used to solve their interpersonal problems and therefore parents, teachers, administrators and other professionals are aware of this. Trainings can be helpful.
