There are also statistically significant differences in the effectiveness of the behavioral guidance program among the members of the experimental group between the pre-measurement and the post-measurement in favor of the post-measurement. There are also no
statistically significant differences between the members of the experimental group, attributed to the age variable. There are no statistically significant differences between the members of the experimental group attributed to the educational level variable, and there are no statistically significant differences between the members of the experimental group attributed to the social status variable.
