Abstract :
Purpose: The difficulty of regulating emotions and the lack of self-control is one of the problems of some teenagers, which can lead to many social harms if there is no intervention. The present study was conducted with the aim of determining the effect of integrated monotheistic treatment approach on the difficulty of emotion regulation and self-control of male students exposed to social harm.Methodology: This study is practical in terms of purpose and semi-experimental in terms of execution method with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of the research was adolescent male students exposed to social harms in Meybod in the academic year 1400-1401. Using stata14 software and based on 95% confidence level and 90% power, 30 people were selected as a sample using available sampling method and randomly replaced in two groups of 15 people. The experimental group received 10 sessions of 1.5 hours and (two sessions per week) Tawhidi Sharifinia's integrated treatment intervention (2017), while the control group did not receive any intervention during this period. The participants responded to Gratz and Roemer's (2004) emotion regulation difficulty and Tanji's (2004) self-control questionnaires. The data were analyzed with chi-square tests and multivariate covariance analysis using spss26 software package and at the level of 0.05.Findings: The results of the chi-square test showed that there was no significant difference between the participants in terms of the demographic variables of father's education and mother's education (P<0.05). The results of the covariance analysis test also showed that monotheistic integrated treatment decreased the mean scores of emotion regulation difficulty (P< 0.001, f=42.52) and increased self-control (P< 0.017, f=6.44) of adolescent male students. It has been tested in the post-test phase (P<0.05).Conclusion: Considering the effectiveness of monotheistic integrated therapy in improving the difficulty of emotion regulation and self-control of students exposed to social harms, this approach can be used as an effective approach in the field of reducing social harms.
