The results showed that there were statistically significant differences at the level of significance (0.01) between the average degrees of orphan student performance in the pre and post applications of research tools in favor of the experimental group, and the results also resulted in a positive correlation between the growth of positive thinking and psychological rigidity among orphan students in the experimental group after teaching The proposed program.
