EFFECT OF PASSIVE MUSIC AND SELF STIMULATED MOVEMENTS ON CONTROLLING AGGRESSION IN MENTAL RETARDED CHILDREN

To study the effect of passive music and self stimulated movements on controlling aggression in mild mental retarded children, 40 students (20 girls & 20 boys) from five exceptional schools in Karaj were selected. Piagetʹs conservation test, Ravenʹs children test and Rosenzweg ʹs Frustration Test were admiristered on all subjects. Children were randomly divided into 2 control groups and 2 exprimental groups. The music was represented to the exprimental groups for 50 days (3 time per week, 75 min per session). The children were alloweded to use self stimulated rhythmical movements, when they were listening to the music. After completing the intevention program, all subjects were retested by the Rosenzweigʹs Frustration Test. It was found that passive music and self-stimulated movements had a significant effect on controlling aggression. There was no significant difference between two sexs.
