Objective: The present study examined the effect of a conflict resolution teaching program on the social competencies of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Method: In this controlled quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design and follow up, a sample of 21 students with ADHD was selected from among students of the 5th and 6th grades of elementary schools (11 and 12 years of age) in Tehran, Iran, through multistage random sampling and then randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Child Symptom Inventory-4 (CSI-4, parent checklist) and Felner’s Social Competence Inventory were used for the diagnosis of ADHD and assessment of social competencies, respectively. A conflict resolution program was implemented for the experimental group for 12 sessions (60 minutes each, twice a week). Results: Variance Analysis showed a significant difference in social competency and its components (cognitive, behavioral, emotional, and motivational) between the experimental and control groups. Conclusion: Research findings showed that the conflict resolution program increases the social competencies of children with ADHD.
