Abstract: (18 Views)
The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) on social exclusion and loneliness in adolescent boys with social anxiety disorder. The research design was a pretest–posttest control group design with a three-month follow-up. The statistical population consisted of 14- to 18-year-old adolescent boys diagnosed with social anxiety disorder in Tabriz. Among them, 45 participants were selected using purposive sampling and randomly assigned to two experimental groups and one control group. Data were collected using the Social Rejection Scale (SRS; Panheligon et al., 2009) and the UCLA Loneliness Questionnaire (UCLQ; Russell et al., 1980). Each experimental group received eight weekly group intervention sessions, while the control group received no intervention. Data analysis was conducted using repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA). The findings indicated that, in both intervention groups, social exclusion and loneliness scores significantly decreased from pretest to posttest and follow-up compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Moreover, the results showed a significant difference between the two intervention groups at the follow-up stage (p < 0.05). Overall, the findings suggest that Emotion-Focused Therapy was more effective than Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in reducing social exclusion and loneliness in adolescents with social anxiety disorder.
