Abstract EN

Study Problem: for the rareness of previous studies have tackled with self-efficiency in obese children in the Arabian setting as-far-as the researcher knows, the problem is crystallized in these questions: What is the efficacy of a cognitive-behavioral program for developing self-efficiency in a sample of obese children post one month later of applying the program (follow up measuring)? What is the effectiveness of a cognitive-behavioral program for keep developing self-efficiency in obese children? Study Objectives: Exploring the effectiveness of a cognitive-behavioral program for developing self-efficiency in obese children aged (9-12 yrs.

old).

Ensuring the continuity of the program's impact post the following up measurement in developing self-efficiency of obese children.

Study Significance: The Theoretical Significance: Tackling with self-efficiency for being effective for adjustment in general and psychological adjustment in particular.

Dealing with self-efficiency among obese children in Arabian environment which is rare.

The Applied Significance: The study discusses the behavioral-cognitive therapy that assists a child to act properly and modifying his behavior using various styles.

Hypotheses: There are significant statistical differences between average scores of the experimental and the control group regarding the post measurement on scale of self-efficiency for children, in favor of the experimental group.

There are significant statistical differences between average scores of the experimental pre/post measurement on scale of self-efficiency.

Method: The study uses the two-group experimental method.

Sample: It consists of (30) male/female children, aged (9-12 year olds) divided into two groups.
