Background and Purpose: Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is a common childhood disorder that is mainly characterized by argumentative, hostile, and disobedient behavior towards adults. This study was conducted to compare the paranoid thoughts and self-esteem in students with and without ODD.
Method: This was a causal-comparative research. The sample was consisted of 40 students with ODD and 40 students without ODD, aged 14-15, studying at the middle schools of Tabriz in 2016-2017, and selected by multi-stage cluster sampling. To collect data, self-esteem index (Eysenck, 1976), and paranoid thought scale (Green, et al., 2008) were used. Data were selected by independent T-test.
Results: The results of data analysis showed that children with ODD have lower self-esteem and more paranoid thoughts in comparison to the children without ODD (p<.05).
Conclusion: Regarding the research results, it seems that ODD can indirectly lead to other problems like lower self-esteem and formation of paranoid thoughts. Implications of the findings are discussed in the article. |
