The Effectiveness of Emotion-Focused Training for Cognitive Emotional Regulation Strategies of Emotionally Abused Students

Authors

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of emotion-focused training in emotional regulation of emotionally abused students. The statistical population of this study consisted of all male students of junior high schools in Ardebil in the academic year of 1390-1391. The subjects consisted of 100 emotionally abused students identified through clinical interviews. From among these, 40 were selected using a simple random sampling method. They were divided into two groups of control and experimental (20 each). The experimental  group received the emotion-focused group training during 8 ninety-minute sessions. For data collection the Structured Clinical Interview, the Child Abuse Questionnaire (CAQ), and the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Strategies Scale were used. The results of MANOVA showed that the treatment was effective in emotional regulation of students in the experimental group.
