Abstract :

The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of parent-child interaction training, attachment-based therapy and self-regulation skill training on preschool children's emotion control. This research was carried out in the form of a semi-experimental design on 48 preschool students of Islam Shahr with available sampling method and these people were randomly replaced in three experimental groups (n=36) and a control group (n=12). became Then the experimental groups were subjected to parent-child interaction training, attachment-based therapy and self-regulation skill training, and the control group did not receive any training. The data collection tool was the child's emotion management questionnaire (Ziman et al., 2001), which was administered before and after the training. Descriptive tables and statistical methods of one-way analysis of variance with differential scores of multivariate covariance analysis and Bonferroni's adjustment test were used to describe and analyze the collected data. The results show that, in the comparison between the influence of each of the experimental groups on reducing the differential score of emotional control of preschool children, the results of the effect size showed, respectively, the parent-child interaction training groups (ƞ=0.681), treatment based Attachment (0.630=2ƞ) and self-regulation skill (0.408=2ƞ) had the highest effect on reducing differential scores of emotional control of preschool children.
