annoyance and oppression avoiding) on self-assertion and psycho health in retarded students. The method&#13;
of this experimental research is to design a pretest and posttest doing with an experimental group and a&#13;
control one. The statistical population consists of the students studying in atypical schools in east part of&#13;
GILAN province that they were 140 students studying in two different cities that of course just one of the&#13;
cities selected, then the students was given 70 questionnaires titling as SHRING self-assertion and&#13;
GOLDBERGE mental health. Then 60 students were screened who had got the lowest marks and finally&#13;
45 people were grouped in 3 classes each holding 15. Two of them received the trainings in apologizing&#13;
and annoyance and oppression avoiding in 6 sessions each lasted for 45 minutes in workshop procedures&#13;
then all the three groups were tested. The collected data were analyzed to test the research hypothesis&#13;
using covariance analysis- statistical test. The results showed that: some social training in apologizing&#13;
was effective on self-assertion and mental health and it was different from disliking annoyance and&#13;
oppression.&#13;
