Abstract :
The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of Acceptance and commitment based therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy on the components of maternal emotional intelligence. The present study is a pilot study of pretest-posttest design with control group and follow-up. The sample consisted of 45 mothers with 5-7 years old children who were selected by non-random sampling from four preschool centers and randomly divided into three groups - two experimental groups (15 each) and one control group (15) ) Were replaced. And answered the questions of the Revised Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (MSEIS). Multivariate analysis of covariance was used to analyze the data. The results showed that acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy had a significant effect on the emotional intelligence components of mothers of preschool children (p <0.01). The results also showed that in the components of emotion regulation, perception of the variable emotional intelligence of cognitive behavioral therapy was more effective than acceptance and commitment based therapy (p <0.01) and only in the component of emotion regulation between cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance-based therapy. There was no significant difference between commitment and commitment (p >0.01).
