Abstract

Introduction: The positive psychology approach suggests that teaching courage is an important skill to prevent psychological harm in the Labor Children. By promoting Self-Efficacy and the perception of social support, children can avoid psychological injuries. This study aims to determine the impact of Assertiveness Training on Self-Efficacy and Social Support Perception among the Labor Children in Karaj City. Methods: The research was conducted through an experimental pretest-posttest design with a control group. The targeted population was working children at the Imam Ali Student-People's Relief Society, located in Malekabad Alam House, Karaj. A sample group of thirty individuals was purposefully selected, with fifteen individuals randomly assigned to each of the experimental and control groups. The experimental group participated in a seven-session Assertiveness Training package, each session lasting ninety minutes. At the end of the training, both groups were evaluated using Self-Efficacy and Social Support Perception questionnaires. Data obtained from the questionnaires were analyzed using analysis of covariance with SPSS21. Results: After adjusting the pre-test scores, the results showed that the factor between the subjects of the experimental and control groups had a significant effect. This is because the significance level of F obtained for the dependent variable of perceived social support and Self-Efficacy was fifty-four and eighty-seven hundredths and ninety-five and ninety hundredths, respectively. These results indicate that courage education is effective in increasing the Self-Efficacy and perception of social support of working children. Conclusions: Assertiveness Training is a suitable method to increase Self-Efficacy and perception of social support in work children. It is suggested that this method be used in childcare centers.
