Abstract :
    The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of resilience training on social adjustment of high school students with social anxiety. The statistical population included all male students living in boarding schools with high social anxiety disorder in the academic year 1399-1398 in Khalkhal city. The sample size was 15 people in the experimental group and 15 people in the control group who were randomly selected. A social adjustment questionnaire was used to collect data. The research method was experimental (pre-test and post-test design with control group). The experimental group was given 10 sessions of 1 hour resilience training program, after the training, post-test was taken from both groups. Multivariate and univariate analysis of covariance were used to analyze the data. Eta squared indicates the magnitude of the relationship between resilience training in the social adjustment variable (0.31) (P <0.01). Therefore, we conclude with 90% confidence that there is a significant difference between the means of the experimental and control groups in the rate of social adjustment. In other words, it can be said that resilience education has significantly increased the level of social adjustment of students.
