  T The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of emotional working memory training on execution functions in adolescent with posttraumatic stress disorders (PTSD). Based on a single case multiple-baselines design, 3 adolescents (1 male, 2 females) were selected from one of the educational child center of city of Karaj by available sampling using SCID-I and IES-R. The participants received 20 sessions of emotional working memory training. The participants were assessed during three stages (pre-training, training, and 2- month follow up) by the Wechsler Digit Span Test (direct and reverse) and the Go/No Go Task. The data were analyzed using the indices for trend changes, slope and the visual inspection of the charts. The Cohen's d, recovery percent index, and effect size were used to determine the clinical significance. The results indicated that emotional working memory training increased the participants’ working memory and inhibition  abilities from pre-training stage to follow up stage. The findings suggest that emotional working memory training may be an appropriate choice for increasing the execution functions of adolescents with PTSD. Manuscript profile

The aim of present study was to assess the reliability, validity and confirmatory factor structure of the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire –Adolescent Form (Philips & Power, 2007).The Persian version of the questionnaire was prepared using double-translation technique. The  psychometric properties were examined by three independent studies (N1=180; N2= 80; N3=400).In the first two studies the reliability of the questionnaire was examined based on internal consistency,  item-test correlations and  test-retest methods, and the validity of the questionnaire was examined  using correlation between  subscales and criterion validity. In the third study the confirmatory factor structure of the questionnaire was assessed. The range of Cronbach’s alpha coefficients of three subscales (.73 to .82) and total scale (.79) indicated that the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire had a good internal consistency. Item scores and the total score of the corresponding subscales correlated significantly (r=.38 to r = .72) and the test-retest correlation values (.65 to .71) suggested that the scale was stable. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the four factors model of the questionnaire. The correlations among the subscales and correlation coefficient model between depression and anxiety dimensions indicated a good criterion validity. The findings suggest that the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire has a satisfactory psychometric properties, thereby providing support for the relevance of using this scale in Iranian population.
