The present study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of positive parenting on parent-child interaction and impulsivity of students with externalized behavioral-emotional problems. The current study was a semi-experimental application with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group and a two-month follow-up period. The statistical population included students with externalized behavioral-emotional problems who were studying in the first period of secondary school in the academic year of 2022-2023 in Islamshahr city. In this research, 35 students with externalized emotional-behavioral problems were selected by purposeful sampling and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups (18 students in the experimental group and 17 students in the control group). The parents of the students in the experimental group received the positive parenting intervention during ten weeks in ten 90-minute sessions.
