This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of skill training based on dialectical behavior therapy on social problem solving and attitudes towards delinquency of juvenile delinquents in Sari Correctional Center. The research method was a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test-post-test design and a control group. The statistical population included all juvenile delinquent boys residing in Sari Correctional Center in 2023, from which 30 were selected by purposive sampling and then randomly assigned to experimental and control groups of 15 people. The experimental group underwent twelve 60-minute sessions of skill training based on dialectical behavior therapy. The research instruments were the Social Problem Solving Questionnaire (SPSI, D'zurilla et al., 2002) and the Attitudes Towards Delinquent Behaviors Questionnaire (ADB, Fazli, 2010). The research data were analyzed using a multivariate analysis of the covariance test. The findings showed that by controlling for the pretest effect, there was a significant difference at the 0.01 level between the mean posttest scores of social problem-solving and attitudes toward delinquency in the experimental and control groups. The results of the study indicated that skill training based on dialectical behavior therapy is an appropriate approach for increasing social problem-solving and improving attitudes toward delinquency in juvenile delinquents in correctional facilities.
