Abstract: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of cognitivebehavioral stress inoculation training on increasing coping skills in female adolescent students. This quasi-experimental applied study had pretest-posttest and control group. A total of 30 students were selected by two-stage cluster sampling method and randomly divided into trial and control groups. The trial group received 10 sessions of educational intervention, and the control was placed on a waiting list. Data were collected through Endler & Parker coping styles and Cohen's perceived stress questionnaires in pretest-posttest stages, and were analyzed in SPSS-18 software using descriptive statistics and univariate covariance analysis. Study results demonstrated effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral stress inoculation training on students’ coping styles. However, this educational approach showed a significant effect on increasing problem-based coping styles, but was ineffective on emotion-based coping styles in students. It can be asserted that stress inoculation programs can be used to strengthen integrated and flexible coping skills in high school students.
