One of the variables that can play a role in the adaptation and mental health of divorced women is cognitive flexibility. Cognitive flexibility has been defined as a person's assessment of the controllability of the situation, which changes in different situations. Cognitive flexibility enables a person to deal appropriately and efficiently with pressures, challenges and other emotional and social issues
Divorce is one of the most important stresses that we face in today's life. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of communication skills training on the cognitive flexibility of divorced women. The research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test, post-test design with a control group. The statistical population included all the divorced women of Karaj city in 2023, of which 30 people were selected by available sampling method and then randomly replaced in two experimental and control groups. Dennis and Vanderwaal (2010) cognitive flexibility questionnaire was used to collect data. The data was analyzed using SPSS-26 software. The results showed that there is a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in all components of perception of controllability (P < 0.001, F = 25.81), perception of different options (P < 0.001, F = 19.66). has it. Behavior justification (P < 0.001, F = 18.39) and cognitive flexibility (P < 0.002, F = 7.02). As a result, communication skills training has been effective in increasing the cognitive flexibility of divorced women.
Increasing cognitive flexibility makes people show positive adaptive behavior during crises, tragedy events, threats and stress. In fact, the main goal of cognitive flexibility is to help develop the learner's ability to understand different situations.
