Abstract
The present study was conducted with the aim of combining the researches conducted in the field of determining the effectiveness of educational and therapeutic psychological interventions on the cognitive flexibility of Iranian children and adolescents with the meta-analysis method. The statistical population of the present analysis is the available researches related to the effectiveness of educational and therapeutic psychological interventions on the flexibility of children and adolescents, which were published between 2013 and 2023. Based on the defined entry and exit criteria for primary studies and sensitivity analysis, 61 effect sizes from 43 primary studies were analyzed by CMA software version 2. The findings showed that the summary effect size of the random model was equal to 1.964, which is statistically significant and indicates the positive effect of educational and therapeutic psychological interventions on cognitive flexibility. Also, the results showed that there is a significant difference between the types of intervention, research tools, and the age and gender of the subjects. As a result, considering the desired effectiveness of providing educational and therapeutic interventions in order to improve the cognitive flexibility of children and adolescents, it is suggested that it should be considered more and more by those involved in the education of children and adolescents in order to benefit from its potential benefits throughout life.
