The present study aimed to examine the effectiveness of Choice Theory-based training on responsibility and disruptive behaviors among adolescents in Kerman. The study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest control group. The statistical population included all adolescent students in Kerman during the 2024–2025 academic year. A total of 30 participants were selected through convenience sampling and randomly assigned to an experimental group (n = 15) and a control group (n = 15). The research instruments included the Responsibility Questionnaire and the Disruptive Behavior Scale. The experimental group received eight 60-minute sessions of Choice Theory-based training. Data were analyzed using repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA).
The findings indicated that Choice Theory-based training significantly increased responsibility and significantly reduced disruptive behaviors in the experimental group compared to the control group. Based on the results, Choice Theory, with an emphasis on personal responsibility and internal control, can be considered an effective intervention for improving social behaviors and enhancing responsibility in adolescents.
