Relation of the ability to solve social problem with false memory in juvenile and normal teenagers

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the ability to solve social problem and false memory in delinquent and healthy adolescents. This study was a correlation research. A sample of this study was conducted on 53 adolescent offenders from Tehran's correctional center and 48 non-delinquent adolescents working in high schools in Tehran who were selected by random method. A short form of social problem solving skills questionnaire and a false memory check tool (DMR pattern) were used for data collection. In order to analyze the data, in addition to descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation and simple regression analysis were used in SPSS software. The results of this study showed that there is a positive and significant correlation between problem solving problem solving and problem solving in delinquent adolescents. In healthy teens, negative orientation of problem solving and impulsivity-carelessness style, there is a negative and significant correlation between problem solving and false memory. Also, the findings of this study showed that false memory predicts the compatibility dimensions of problem solving positively (β = 0.342) and maladaptive dimensions of problem solving negatively (β = -368.3).
