Abstract
The purpose of this research was to compare the effectiveness of emotion regulation training and mode deactivation therapy on the cognitive regulation of emotion in students with intermittent explosive disorder. The research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design and follow-up with a control group. The statistical population of the current study included all teenagers aged 12-18 years old with intermittent explosive disorder in 2024 who were studying in Tehran schools. The sample size included 45 people from the statistical population selected by available sampling method and placed in experimental and control groups. For the first experimental group, emotion regulation training was carried out during 8 sessions of 60 minutes during four weeks, and for the second experimental group, mode deactivation therapy was implemented during 8 sessions of 60 minutes during four weeks. While the control group did not receive training. The research tools included Intermittent Explosive Disorder Screening Questionnaire and Emotion Regulation Checklist . The data was analyzed using the analysis of variance test with repeated measurements. The results showed that emotion regulation training and mode deactivation therapy have an effect on the cognitive regulation of emotions of students with intermittent explosive disorder (p<0.05). Also, the results of the follow-up test showed that there is no significant difference between the two treatment methods on the cognitive regulation of emotion (p>0.05). Based on the results of the research, psychologists and psychiatrists can use these interventions to improve the cognitive regulation of emotions of students with intermittent explosive disorder.
