Introduction: Improving the parent-child relationship through appropriate interventions has an effective role in reducing emotional and behavioral problems in adolescents. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of "Parent Management Training" and "Group Schema Therapy" for Parents on academic motivation and oppositional defiant of their teenage children with conduct disorder.
Methods: The research method was quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest design with control group. The statistical population of the study included all parents of adolescent girls and boys 13to 16 years old with conduct disorder in Ahvaz in the academic year 2020. Using the convenience sampling method, 60 of them were selected and one of their parents was randomly divided by random number table into two intervention groups and one the control group (20 people in each group). Demographic questionnaire, "Academic Motivation Scale" and "Oppositional Defiant Behavior Inventory" were used to collect data. The validity of the instruments was reported based on the content validity by qualitative method and the reliability by Kappa agreement coefficient method and internal consistency method by calculating Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The intervention groups (parents) underwent "Parental Management Training" (9 sessions of 60 minutes) and "Group Schema Therapy” (8 sessions of 90 minutes), but the control group did not receive any intervention. The questionnaires were completed by their teenage children in the pre-test and post-test stages. Data analysis was performed using SPSS. 22.
Results: Both “Parent Management Training" and "Group Schema Therapy" interventions in parents were effective in increasing academic motivation and reducing oppositional defiant in their teenage children with conduct disorder (P <0.01). Also, “Parent Management Training" has a greater effect on increasing the academic motivation of their teenage children with conduct disorder than "Group Schema Therapy" (P <0.01).
Conclusions: “Parent Management Training" and "Group Schema Therapy" to parents are effective interventions to increase academic motivation and reduce the oppositional defiant in adolescents with conduct disorder. To improve the academic performance of these adolescents, the implementation of the mentioned interventions on their parents is recommended.
