Abstract:

Emotional adjustment skills have recently been proposed as a new framework in the prevention of addiction in students. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of training emotional regulation skills on reducing addiction ability in high school male students. The present study was a quasi-experimental study with pretest-posttest control group. The statistical population consisted of all male high school students in Tabriz District 3 in the academic year 2018-2019. For this purpose, using cluster sampling method, the students of one school were selected as the statistical sample and those with higher than average score (above 21) were selected randomly and divided into two experimental groups. (N = 25) and control (n = 25). The experimental group was exposed to EQ training for 8 sessions, each session lasting 90 minutes for two months. During this period the control group received no intervention. Theoretical Addiction Questionnaire was used for data collection. Covariance analysis was used to analyze the results. Data analysis showed that training of emotional regulation skills has an impact on reducing the addiction of talented students. The results indicate that emotion regulation skills training can be used as a coping approach in adolescent education that should be targeted by reference groups such as counselors, school coaches, and social planners.
