The present study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of Islamic life skills training on responsibility and psychological vulnerability among male students with antisocial behaviors. The research method was quasi-experimental, employing a pretest–posttest design with a control group. The statistical population consisted of male upper secondary school students in Khorramabad city during the 2025–2026 academic year. Accordingly, a sample of 30 students was selected through purposive sampling and randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups (15 students in each group). The experimental group received Islamic life skills training in eight 90-minute sessions, whereas the control group did not receive any educational intervention. Data were collected using the Standardized Antisocial Behavior Questionnaire (STAB; Donnellan & Burt, 2009), the Psychological Vulnerability Scale (PVS; Sinclair & Wallston, 1999), and the Personal Responsibility Scale for Adolescents (PRSA; Merger & Shield, 2016). The data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA). The findings indicated that, after controlling for pretest effects, there was a statistically significant difference between the experimental and control groups in the posttest mean scores of responsibility and psychological vulnerability at the p < 0.001 level. These findings suggest that Islamic life skills training is effective in improving responsibility and reducing psychological vulnerability among students with antisocial behaviors.
