Abstract:
In the present study, the effectiveness of humor training on reducing social phobia symptoms in students was examined. The research method was quasi-experimental, pretest-posttest design with control group and follow-up in 2 months. From a population of male students attending an education counseling center, after preliminary interviews, 30 students who had higher score (according to standard clinical cut-off point) in Social Phobia Inventory (Connor et al, 2001) were selected. The participants were randomly assigned to the experimental (n =15) and control (n =15) group. The experimental group received humor Training (McGhee, 2004) for 8 consecutive weeks in 80 minutes and the control group received no training in this period.
