Abstract

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of mother-child interaction training based on the Precede model, on mothers' meta-emotional philosophy and emotional-behavioral problems in children. This research was a semi-experimental research of pre-test and post-test type with a control group. The statistical population was the mothers of children with emotional and behavioral disorders in the city of Isfahan in 1401, 30 people from this population were selected as a sample and 15 people were randomly assigned to the experimental group, and 15 people were randomly assigned to the control group. The mothers of the experimental group participated in 6 sessions of 60-minute mother-child interaction training based on the Precede model, and the control group did not receive any intervention. Both groups completed the research tools including: Evelyne kehe’s (2006) meta-emotional Philosophy Questionnaire and Achenbach’s (1992) Child Behavior Checklist-Parent Form before and after the intervention. The data were analyzed by univariate and multivariate ANCOVA tests run in the SPSS software (26.00). The findings showed that the values of both variables in control and experimental groups had a significant difference in the post-test stage (significance level less than 0.05). Therefore, this intervention positively and significantly impacted (transemotional philosophy) (F = 201.568 and P = 0.0001) 0) and emotional and behavioral problems (F=36.588 and P=0.0001)), at α=0.05 significant level. Therefore, mother-child interaction training based on Precede model had significantly effect on the meta-emotional philosophy of mothers and emotional-behavioral problems in adolescents aged 11-14 years.
