Aim and Background Adolescence is a critical developmental period during which externalizing behavioral disorders can lead to negative psychological and social consequences. The aim of this study was to develop a multimedia educational package based on a neuropsychological approach and to evaluate its effectiveness in enhancing resilience among adolescents with externalizing behavioral disorders.
Methods and Materials: This study employed a sequential exploratory mixed-methods design. In the qualitative phase, through thematic analysis of scientific literature, a 22-session educational package was developed and validated by seven experts in psychology and cognitive neuroscience. In the quantitative phase, 30 adolescents with externalizing behavioral disorders from schools in Karaj were randomly assigned to an intervention group (n = 15) and a control group (n = 15). The intervention group received the multimedia package. Data were collected using the Achenbach and Rescorla Child Behavior Checklist, Raven’s Progressive Matrices, and the Ungar and Liebenberg Resilience Scale, and analyzed using repeated-measures multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) in SPSS-24.
Findings: The results showed that the mean scores of overall resilience, as well as individual, relational, and contextual components, increased significantly in the intervention group from pretest to posttest (p < 0.001), and this improvement remained stable at the two-month follow-up.
Conclusions: The multimedia educational package based on a neuropsychological approach can be effective in enhancing the resilience of adolescents with externalizing behavioral disorders.
