The purpose of the present research is to determine the effectiveness of self-control skill trainings on reduction of aggression and improvement of self-control among male juvenile delinquents in Tehran’s correction and rehabilitation center. The present research employs a quasi-experimental approach and uses pretest-posttest design and a control group. The statistical population of the present study comprises of all male juvenile delinquents in Tehran’s correction and rehabilitation center in 2015; the sampling is carried out using random sampling method. As a result, 30 young adult boys are selected and randomly assigned to either control group (15 individuals) or experimental group (15 individuals). As a pre-test, Tangney self-control questionnaire has been given to both groups. Self-control skill training as the independent variable has been administered to the experimental group for 10 sessions and twice a week, while the control group receives no trainings. After the intervention, as a post-test, Tangney self-control questionnaire is once again given to both groups. The results of multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) indicate that self-control skill trainings have improved self-control in male juvenile delinquents as well as reduced their aggression. Based on the findings of the present research, it is suggested that self-control training is adopted as an educational approach in order to increase self-control and reduce aggression among young adults, especially juvenile delinquents.
