Abstract

The purpose of the present research was to examine the effectiveness of
impulse control training on the self-efficacy of students with ADHD
symptoms. This is a experimental study with a pretest/post-test design using
an experimental and a control group. The statistical universe of this research
consisted of all second and third-grade junior high school male students in
Delijan city in the academic year 2011-2012. The sample comprised 40
boys with ADHD who were assigned to the two experimental and control
groups. To collect data, a clinical interview, Adult ADHD Rating Scale-Self
report form and the Self-Efficacy Scale were used. Multivariate analysis of
variance showed that impulse control training significantly decrased ADHD
symptoms and increased domains of self-efficacy in the experimental group
(p<0/001). This finding has important implications as regards the education
and mental health of students.
