Abstract
the present study aimed to examine the effectiveness of narrative creativity training on decision-making and self-efficacy among these students in Astaneh-ye Ashrafiyeh during the 2024–2025 academic year. It was a quasi-experimental study conducted with a pre-test and post-test design with a control group. The study sample included 24 students with ADHD symptoms selected, and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The experimental group received narrative creativity training in five 45-minute group sessions conducted in person, while the control group received no training or intervention. The research utilized the Conners' Parent Rating Scale (1970), the Morris Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (2001), and the Iowa Gambling Task (1999) during both pre-test and post-test phases. Data were analyzed using univariate and multivariate analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The results indicated that narrative creativity training led to improved decision-making and increased self-efficacy in students with ADHD symptoms. These findings suggest that narrative creativity training can be used alongside other therapeutic methods to enhance decision-making, reduce ADHD symptoms, and increase self-efficacy in students.
