Abstract: (29 Views)
This research aimed to determine the effectiveness of positive parenting training for parents on stress, mental health, and academic motivation in their children. The research method was quasi-experimental with a pre-test–post-test design and a control group. The statistical population of this study consisted of all parents of 10th and 11th-grade students in Rasht County in 2023. A sample of 30 participants was selected using a convenience sampling method, and they were randomly assigned to two groups of 15 (experimental and control groups). The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS, Cohen et al., 1983), the Revised Clinical Symptoms Checklist (SCL-90, Derogatis et al., 1973), and the Academic Motivation Scale (AMS, Vallerand et al., 1992) were used, along with an 8-session protocol (one session every two weeks, with each session lasting 90 minutes) for the positive parenting training program as the intervention. The data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA). The results showed that after controlling for the pre-test effect, there were significant differences between the post-test means for stress, mental health, and academic motivation between the experimental and control groups (p<0.001). It can be concluded that the positive parenting training program was effective in reducing stress and improving mental health and academic motivation.
