The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of training social skills with an Islamic approach on the conflicts between the parents and their high-school girls. In this research, training social skills with an Islamic approach was considered as the independent variable and parent-child conflict was the dependent variable with three subscales of argument, verbal aggression, and physical aggression. The method was semi-experimental with designing pre-test and post-test. The subjects were 30 female students between 16-18 years old who were selected objectively from among the 120 girls who got the highest points in terms of conflict, and were divided into two groups of 15, namely test group and control group, via random assigning method. The measuring tools in this research were Straus Conflict Tactics Scales (CT) and pre-test was conducted for both groups. Then the test group participated in ten 90-minute sessions in weekly program and trained social skills with an Islamic approach using the verses of Quran and the available religious quotes. After the intervention, both groups took the test again. Results of comparing the data from pre-test and post-test of the two groups showed that the training program has managed to reduce the conflict, verbal aggression, and physical aggression between high-schools girls and their parents, but does not significantly improve their ability to use argumentative strategies. Generally, the findings showed that training social skills with an Islamic approach can be regarded as an effective method to reduce the conflicts between high-school girls and their parents.
