Abstract :
The aim of this study was to predict Tendency toward Delinquency due to the Role of Difficulties in Emotion Regulation and Anger Dimensions in Female Students. This study was cross-sectional descriptive and its statistical population was all Female high school students in the one district of Ardabil city, that 279 students from four high schools were selected using multi-stage clusters sampling method. In order to collect data, Dimensions of Anger Questionnaire (Sigel, 1986), Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (Gratz and Roemer, 2004) and Attitude toward Delinquency Questionnaire (Fazli, 2010) were used. The collected data were analyzed using Pearson correlation test and stepwise regression. The results showed that tendency toward delinquency had a significant positive relationship with the components of anger arousal, hostile attitude, anger-out and anger-in from the dimensions of anger and had positive relationship with components in doing, difficulty in impulse control and lack of transparency from difficulties in emotion regulation (p<0.01). Also, the components of hostile attitude and anger-out from the dimensions of anger and the component of difficulty in impulse control and lack of transparency from the difficulties in emotion regulation could significantly predict the tendency toward delinquency. Therefore, the results of this study have important implications for identifying individuals at risk of delinquency and need to be considered in development of preventive and therapeutic interventions.
