| To select a sample for diagnosing social anxiety in students, a cluster random sampling method was used. First, two districts were randomly selected from four education districts in Ahvaz city, and then five sixth grade girls' schools from each district, and in the next stage, two sixth graders from each school were selected. Then, after the students completed the social anxiety inventory, those whose scores on this questionnaire were one standard deviation above the mean and in a clinical interview conducted by a clinical psychologist based on the diagnostic and statistical criteria for mental disorders, fifth edition, were selected as students with social anxiety. 40 of them were selected by simple random drawing to participate in the study. Then, these individuals were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups (20 in the experimental group and 20 in the control group). After the groups were formed, the subjects were led to special rooms and were given questionnaires to measure the variables as a pre-test and were assured that the answers they gave would remain confidential. They were asked to answer the questions confidently and honestly. People in the experimental group participated in training courses for about a month, 6 90-minute sessions and two sessions per week were considered. Also, no intervention was carried out for the control group. However, to prevent threats to the internal validity of the test, problem-solving skills training was implemented for them after the end of the study. After the training period, both experimental and control groups were re-assessed with questionnaires to measure the variables as a post-test, and finally, after one month of the post-test, both groups were re-assessed (follow-up phase). Timepoint: People in the experimental group participated in training courses for about a month, 6 sessions of 90 minutes each, two sessions per week. Also, no intervention was carried out for the control group. However, to prev | — |
