The intervention group received training on the manner of the probe method on social tolerance, wisdom, and emotion control. The required data were collected using the social tolerance, wisdom, and emotion control questionnaires. The gathered data were analyzed using MANCOVA multivariate analysis of covariance and Scheffe post hoc test.
