Introduction: This study compared the executive functions in children residing in orphanage and normal conditions.
Methods: This Ex-Post Facto study enrolled 90 children from orphanage and 90 normal children in three age groups (7-5, 11-9, 15-13 years old) from the city of Gorgan in 2011. In each age group, 30 orphanage children were recruited through convenient sampling method and for the selection normal children; the first stage used cluster sampling followed by random sampling methods. Coolidge (2002) neuropsychological and personality tests were administered across subjects. Data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA and Scheffe tests.
Results: Data analysis revealed some significant differences in executive functions between orphanage and normal children of all age groups.
Conclusion: Our findings have suggested that poor executive functions in children residing in orphanages could possibly be due to the environmental isolation, economic variables and the lack of rich social interactions.
