Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate the effect of life skills training on the multidimensional adaptability and responsibility of new students entering male the dormitory of Zabol University. The study was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test, post-test, and control group design. The statistical population included all new male students entering the dormitory of Zabol University who were studying in the academic year 1403-1404. And their number was 468 people. The statistical sample consisted of 30 people. The sampling method was a multi-stage cluster random method, in which 15 students were randomly assigned to each group from the sample. The data collection tools were the Sinha and Singh Social Adaptation Questionnaire (1993), Lewis Responsibility (2001), and the instructions for life skills training sessions (Teacher's Guide, written and compiled by Emami Naini, (2011).
.The findings showed that training in self-awareness, decision-making, and communication skills was significant for each of the variables of students' multidimensional adaptability and responsibility (P<0.001). As a result, this study clearly showed that life skills training, including self-awareness, decision-making, and communication components, has a positive and significant effect on promoting adaptability (emotional, social, and educational dimensions) and multidimensional responsibility (self and others) of new male students in the dormitory of Zabol University.
