Background and Aim: The present research has been carried out in order to influence psychodrama training on social skill, compromising behavior and empathy of mentally retarded male students. Methods: This research is a semi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The target statistical population is 30 educable mentally retarded male students who were selected through available sampling among mentally retarded students with an age range of 9 to 12 years who studied at Omid Exceptional School in the period of 1401-02 located in the city of Sari and They were randomly assigned to two experimental (15 people) and control (15 people) groups. The experimental group received psychodrama training in 10 90-minute sessions twice a week, while the control group was not given any training in that period of time. The tools used in this research are Gresham and Elliott's social skill questionnaire, Limbert's adaptive behavior and Ayong et al.'s empathy. The data has been analyzed using covariance and Welch analysis using spss-26 software. Results: The results showed that there is a significant difference between the social skills, behavior adjustment of the experimental and control groups, but there was no such significance for empathy. Conclusion: psychodrama training is a practical and effective way to increase social skills, adaptive behavior, and for more efficiency of this approach on the empathy skills of mentally retarded male students, it is better to add it to the number of training sessions.
