Abstract
Background and Objective: Although cognitive psychology with more than seven decades of history corrects people's irrational beliefs and negative thoughts, few studies have combined this method with Islamic teachings. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of cognitive correction training based on Islamic knowledge on jealousy in adolescent girls.
Methods: The present study is quasi-experimental with a pre-test, post-test control group design and the statistical population of the study included all adolescent girls aged 16 to 18 in secondary school in Isfahan in the academic year 2019-2020. The sample size was 30 participants, who were selected using available sampling method. Samples were randomly assigned to experimental (n=15) and control (n=15) groups. The measuring instrument used in the study was Valizadeh and Azerbaijani’s Jealousy Questionnaire. The experimental group underwent eight one-hour sessions of intervention in cognitive-behavioral training with a focus on religious principles. The control group did not receive any intervention. The collected data were analyzed at two levels of descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation) and inferential statistics (analysis of covariance). In this study, all ethical considerations were observed and the authors reported no conflict of interests.
Results: The results showed that cognitive-behavioral training had an effect on jealousy in adolescent girls and its dimensions on the post-test in the experimental group. The rate of this effect was 24.7% in jealousy and 21.3% in the dimensions of jealousy components, cognitive dimension of jealousy, 18.6% in emotional jealousy and 22.5% in behavioral jealousy. The significance value considered to be lower than 0.01.
Conclusion: Considering that religious beliefs are considered as human values in Iran, cognitive-behavioral training based on religious teachings affects people's behavior and cognition; in this study it changed the level of jealousy in the students. Therefore, they can examine their irrational thoughts and emotions and change the destructive behaviors within themselves.
