The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of life skills training in patience, effortful control, and aggression in students. This research employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group format. The statistical population included all female high school students in the second cycle studying in the academic year 2023-2024 in schools in Khorramabad city. The research sample consisted of 30 students selected using multi-stage cluster sampling and divided into two groups: experimental (n=15) and control (n=15). The experimental group participated in 10 life skills training sessions, based on the Motabi model, held twice a week for 2 hours per session, while the control group received no intervention. Data were collected using the Patience Scale by Khormaie et al. (2019), the Aggression and Anger Scale (AAS) by Nelson et al. (2000), and the Effortful Control Scale (ECS) by Ellis and Rothbart (2001). Data analysis was performed using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA). The findings indicated that after controlling for the pretest effect, there were significant differences between the posttest means of patience, effortful control, and aggression in the experimental and control groups at the level of ( P < 0.001). Therefore, it can be concluded that life skills training led to increased patience and effortful control and reduced aggression among students.
