description The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of interpersonal communication skills training on aggression and impulsivity behaviors among third grade high school students in district 7 of Karaj, Iran. The experimental design was a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test and follow-up (Series Time) with the control group. The statistical population of this study includes all female students of the third grade high school girls in the 7th district of Karaj, who were studying in 2014. Random sampling method is a random sampling method. At first, it was referred to the Education Department, and then one region (Region 7) was randomly introduced from among the 12 districts of the city of Karaj. Then, two high schools were randomly introduced from the schools of this region. In each of the schools, the third grade students were given the Matsun social skills questionnaire (1983) and then the 30 people who had the highest levels of aggression and impulsive behavior they were randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups of 15. Participants were tested in pre-test, post-test and follow-up with a section of Matson's social skills questionnaire (1983) that measures aggression and impulsive behaviors. The reliability of this part of the questionnaire was estimated based on Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.87. Trial intervention (interpersonal communication skills training) was performed on the experimental group for 7 sessions, 2 hours. After completing the educational program, both posttest and follow-up tests (one month after the post-test) were performed. In order to analyze the collected data, descriptive and inferential statistics were used. The results of repeated measurement analysis showed that interpersonal communication skills training had a positive and significant effect on aggression and student's impulsive behaviors (05 / 0> P).
