The effect of an educational program on the modification of cognitive distortions among middle school students
Abstract
The study aimed to identify the impact of an educational program in the modification of cognitive distortions in the preparatory stage students. The sample reached (70) of the students of the preparatory stage were selected from (Abdulaziz Abdulaziz Abdullah), (34) students to represent the (experimental group), and preparatory (Abu Hanifa Al-Numan) 36) students to represent the (control group), and to achieve the objectives of the research has required the need to build a measure of cognitive distortions as well as building an educational program based on the dimensions of cognitive distortions identified by (Aaron Beck) and the researchers extracted psychometric characteristics of the scale of virtual honesty, and the sincerity of construction, The researchers designed an educational program of (15) lessons after extracting the apparent sincerity, and after applying the pre-measurement to the two research groups, the equivalence procedures between the two research groups were verified in the light of some variables. The researchers applied the educational program to the experimental group. Upon completion of the program, telemetry was applied to the two research groups (experimental and control), the data were treated statistically using (T test of two independent samples, Test The results indicated that there was a statistically significant difference at the level of significance (0.05) between the mean cognitive distortions in the two research groups and in favor of the control group.
