Coping disorder is one of the most common reasons for going to a mental health clinic. Signs of coping disorder usually appear when a child is in primary school age. But in some cases, levels of the disorder also appear in people who are in preschool age.Research The present study was conducted with the effectiveness of parenting style modification training to mothers on the signs of coping disobedience in children aged 8 to 11 years in Shiraz. The present study was a quasi-experimental study in which the pre-test-post-test design was performed with the control group by baseline assessment after intervention and 3-month follow-up with the control group. A total of 20 mothers of male primary school students in the school year of 1399-99 in Shiraz, about 6789 students were studying in 32 public boys' primary schools, were randomly selected to test (correct parenting style) n = 15 and control (n = 15) were assigned. All participants completed the Demographic Questionnaire, the Symptoms of Disobedience Questionnaire on Achenbach's Behavioral Inventory in three stages. Hypotheses related to the effectiveness of research interventions were analyzed using mixed analysis of variance as well as Bonferroni post hoc post hoc tests. The results of the present study showed that the mean of the symptoms of disobedience disorder in the pre-test stage was not significantly different between the two groups, which indicates the homogeneity of the two groups in the pre-test stage, but the difference between the two groups in the post-test and follow-up stages was significant. Which can indicate the effectiveness of the intervention on the mentioned variables and the stability of effectiveness in the follow-up stage. The results of this study showed that the mentioned treatment can be used as a psychological intervention in reducing the symptoms of confrontational disobedience in children aged 8 to 11 years. Due to the effectiveness of parenting style, this treatment can be prioritized.
