Abstract :
This research was conducted with the aim of comparing desirable social behavior, emotional control and behavioral brain system in students with and without self-harm symptoms. The present research was conducted in a causal-comparative way. The statistical population included all 11th grade female students of the 2nd district of Rasht in the academic year of 2018-2019 in the number of 5351 people, among them 60 people (30 people with and 30 people without signs of self-harm) It was selected by random cluster sampling. To collect the required data from the questionnaires of desirable social behavior by Carlo and Randall (2003), emotional control by Williams and et al (1997), behavioral activation and inhibition by Carver and White (1994) and self-harm by Sanson and colleagues (1998) was used. The data was analyzed using the analysis of variance statistical test through SPSS24 software at a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that there is a difference between desirable social behavior in students with and without signs of self-harm (P<0.001). There is a difference between emotional control in students with and without signs of self-harm (P<0.001). There is a difference between the behavioral brain system in students with and without signs of self-harm (P<0.001). Based on the aforementioned findings, it can be concluded that psychologists and school counselors should identify and treat students with signs of self-harm.
