The effectiveness of Neuro Linguistic Programming Strategies Training on Emotional Intelligence, Achievement Motivation and Academic Self-concept among Female Students with Learning Disabilities

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of neuro linguistic programming strategies training on emotional intelligence, achievement motivation and academic self-concept. This study was experimental pre-test, post-test with the control group design. The statistical population of this study consisted of all female fifth grade elemantary school students in Izeh city in the academic year of 2020-2021. Then 30 people with learning disabilities were selected through random multi stage cluster sampling and were assigned randomly to experimental and control groups. The instruments used in this study were emotional intelligence (Petrides & Furnham, 2001) achievement motivation (Hermance, 1977) and academic self-concept (Liu & Wang, 2005). The experimental group received neuro linguistic programming strategies training for ten 60-minutes sessions, one sessions in a week lasting for two month. Analysis of the data was done using descriptive (average & standard deviation) and inferential (multiple covariance analysis) tests. Experimental group showed significant increase in achievement motivation and academic self-concept after being trained, But no significant effect was observed on emotional intelligence. Based on the result we can say that neuro linguistic programming strategies training is an important method in improving of achievement motivation and academic self-concept students with learning disability.
