Abstract EN

The present study aimed to investigate the effects of modification of negative self-statements and a training program on communication skills in the modification of insecure attachment styles among a sample of adolescents.

The population of the study consisted of (143) students in the ninth and tenth grades in one of the primary schools in Irbid governorate.

To achieve the purposes of the study, the researchers developed an attachment scale, which consisted of (24) items.

Based on the scores of these students on the attachment scale, the sample of the study was selected, which consisted of (30) students, who were assigned into three groups : Two experimental groups, and one control group.

Each group consisted of (10) students.

One of the experimental groups received a counseling program on modification of negative self-statement, and the second experimental group received a training program on communication skills, while the control group did not receive any treatment program.

Results showed that modification of negative self-statements was more effective than not having treatment on the secure attachment style in the post-test and the follow-up test, and it was also more effective than no treatment on the anxious attachment style in the follow-up test, and more effective than communication skills on the secure attachment style in the follow-up test.

On the other hand, the communication skills program was more effective than no treatment on the secure attachment style in the follow-up test.
