The main objective of this research is to examine the effectiveness of effective communication training on the social adaptability of female students in the first cycle of secondary education in Bushehr County. The research method is experimental (interventional). The statistical population consists of all female students enrolled in the first cycle of secondary education in Bushehr County during the academic year 1403, totaling 2,010 students. The participants in this study included 60 female students selected through multi-stage random sampling. To analyze the data, ANCOVA (Analysis of Covariance) was used. Findings: In summary, the results of the study, after controlling for the pre-test effects through ANCOVA, indicate that effective communication training has a positive effect on the adaptability of first-cycle secondary students (F = 76.88, P < 0.05). Furthermore, it can be stated that effective communication training increases emotional adaptability (F = 92.94), social adaptability (F = 36.50), and educational adaptability (F = 36.21) of first-cycle secondary students at a significance level of P = 0.05. Conclusion: It can be concluded that effective communication training positively impacts the adaptability of first-cycle secondary students, including emotional adaptability, social adaptability, and educational adaptability. Additionally, the effect size for increasing adaptability is 0.574, indicating that 57.4% of the variance in the adaptability of first-cycle secondary students can be explained by effective communication training.
