Abstract

The present research aims at examining the effectiveness of narrative therapy on the decrease of social phobia in female high school students in Isfahan for the academic year 2013-14. This quasi- experimental study is of pretest posttest type along with an experimental group and a control group. All the high school students in Isfahan, academic year 2013-14, constituted the statistical population of which 30 students were selected by convenience sampling and randomly divided into two experimental and control groups. Narrative therapy was done on the experimental group for 8 sessions. To collect the required data, social phobia inventory developed by Moshveri (2003) was used. Statistical data analysis was done by descriptive statistics including tables, histograms, percentage frequency distributions, mean estimation, and standard deviation and by inferential statistics, which on the basis of research hypotheses, included analysis of covariance. The results of analysis of covariance revealed that there is a meaningful difference between the experimental group and control group in the decrease of social phobia.
