Research data were analyzed by repeated measures analysis of variance.
Results: Reality therapy training was effective on the components of cognitive flexibility (perception of controllability, perception of different options and perception of justification of behavior) (P<0.01), and components of self-differentiation (emotional reactivity, emotional cutoff, I position and fusion with others) (0.01). > P), and these results were maintained in the follow-up period (P<0.01).
Conclusion: By emphasizing the qualitative world of individuals in reality therapy, members are able to develop self-control by changing their mental images in their desired world, resulting in a positive self-image, leading to increased flexibility and differentiation.
