This quasi-experimental study used a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The statistical population included all male elementary school students in Tabriz district 4. from among this population, 30 students were selected using available sampling method and were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. Both groups were pre-tested and answered the CSI-4 questionnaire and the Social Skills Rating Scale (SSRS). Next, the experimental group participated in ten training sessions (each lasting 60 minutes) on executive functions, and then, both and control groups took post-test groups. By collecting data, the researcher tested the hypotheses of analysis of covariance using SWS software.
