The experimental group underwent training based on Integrated Transformation Model (DIR) in 10 two-hour sessions (2 sessions a week) and the control group received no treatment during this period. Matson's Social Skills Scale was used for data collection, which was completed before the intervention, at the end and one month after the intervention. Data were analyzed using multivariate and univariate covariance tests.
Results: The results of multivariate and univariate covariance test showed that training of emotional adjustment based on integrated human transformation model (DIR) increased social skills of children in experimental group compared to control group and this improvement in two skills subscales. Social fit and aggression and impulsive behaviors were observed.
Conclusion: The results of the study indicate the effectiveness of emotional regulation training on social skills of preschool children; therefore, paying attention to these findings and the mechanism of effect of this educational method can be used to reduce aggressive behaviors and increase appropriate social behaviors.
