Abstract: (64 Views)
This study aimed to develop a program based on goal management training and to investigate its feasibility for improving executive functions in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. In the first stage, a program based on goal management training was developed, and then its content validity was estimated using the opinions of 10 experts in the field of psychology. In the second stage, a semi-experimental research design of the pre-test-post-test type with a control group was conducted. The statistical population included children aged 8 to 13 years with ADHD who had been referred to a psychology clinic in Tehran in 2024. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 26 eligible children were selected using the convenience sampling method and randomly assigned to the experimental group (14 n) and control group (12 n). The experimental group received the program in a group setting (8 sessions for 60 minutes). The research instrument was the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF, Gioia et al., 2000), which was evaluated by the parents. The evaluation of the program content by experts showed that the program has a favorable content validity (0.95). The findings from the multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) indicated that, after controlling for the effect of the pre-test, there was a statistically significant difference (p < .05) between the post-test mean scores of executive functions, including inhibitory control, monitoring, planning, and working memory. These results suggest that the Goal Management Training program has a significant impact on executive functions and leads to improvements in executive functioning among children with ADHD.
