Abstract

Introduction: Parent-adolescent conflicts are a growing concern for the well-being of both adolescents and parents. The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of parenting training by mobile health to reduce the frequency and intensity of the parent-adolescent conflict.Research Method: This study was a single-subject research design with a convenient sampling method. Four families with adolescents (two having girls and two having boys) were randomly selected and completed the parent-adolescent conflict questionnaire both before and after training. A set of 16 films including 6 documentaries showing some parents' concerns and 10 films by psychologists who were experts in attachment-based family therapy, were shown to parents.Results: The findings showed a significant decline (p < 0.05) in the scores of parent-adolescent conflicts over discipline, commuting rules, education, family relations, and leisure.Conclusion: Parenting training for adolescents based on ABFT via cell phones had a significant effect on the reduction of the frequency and intensity of the conflicts between parents and children. Training by mobile phones is considered an economic, available, and effective tool.
