Life skills have different effects on various aspects of the mental health. Social adjustment prepares adolescents for entering to the adulthood. On the other hand, humor and joking in the education is considered as a stress reducer and learning increaser. Therefore, the present study conducted aimed to determine the effect of acquiring life skills through humor on the social adjustment rate of the high school girls.
This was a two-group semi-experimental study including three phases. The study population included 69 first year high school female students of Isfahan Department of Education district 3 who were selected in simple random sampling. First of all, the social adjustment rate was measured using California Personality Inventory. Thereafter, life skills education was conducted using humor during five sessions. Finally, a test was taken in order to assess the acquisition of the life skills in which passing score was required for re-completing the questionnaire. The data were analyzed using software SPSS(10) and independent and paired t-tests.
The findings of the study indicated that the mean score of the social adjustment statistically had a significant difference in the intervention group before and after the intervention. Furthermore, statistically, there was a significant difference between mean score of the social adjustment in the control group and test group after conducting the intervention.
The findings of the study indicated that life skills education has been increased through humor on the social adjustment rate of the high school girl students. Considering the efficacy of learning life skills on the social adjustment and results of the other studies which were in accordance with the present study, implementing such trainings with a new method comprehensively is recommended in the schools.
生活技能对心理健康的各个方面有不同影响。社会适应使青少年为步入成年做好准备。另一方面，教育中的幽默和玩笑被视为一种减轻压力和提高学习效果的方式。因此，本研究旨在确定通过幽默获得生活技能对高中女生社会适应率的影响。
这是一项两组半实验研究，包括三个阶段。研究对象包括伊斯法罕第三教育区69名高一女生，她们通过简单随机抽样选取。首先，使用加利福尼亚人格量表测量社会适应率。此后，在五个课时中通过幽默开展生活技能教育。最后，进行一次测试以评估生活技能的掌握情况，重新填写问卷需要达到及格分数。数据使用SPSS（10）软件进行分析，并采用独立样本t检验和配对t检验。
研究结果表明，干预组干预前后社会适应平均得分在统计学上有显著差异。此外，在进行干预后，对照组和测试组的社会适应平均得分在统计学上也有显著差异。
研究结果表明，通过幽默开展的生活技能教育提高了高中女生的社会适应率。考虑到学习生活技能对社会适应的有效性以及其他与本研究一致的研究结果，建议在学校全面采用新方法实施此类培训。
