اثربخشی قصه گویی در کاهش پرخاشگری و اضطراب امتحان در پسران پرورشگاه های شهررشت

This is a research article reporting an experimental study conducted in the city of Rasht, Iran. The study investigates whether storytelling reduces aggression and test anxiety in boys living in orphanages. Using a pretest-posttest-follow-up design with a control group, 33 eight-year-old boys were selected from among children who had no psychiatric medication use or prior psychological treatment, then randomly assigned to an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received seven sessions of storytelling as the independent variable. The study measures the effect of this intervention against baseline and follow-up assessments.
