Abstract

Background: One of the key factors in student success is self-control, which results in adaptation. Adaptation to the environment and society leads people to independence and responsibility. Self-control is one of the factors that help us adapt to our environment in everyday life.
Objectives: The present study aimed to compare the effects of emotion regulation training and stress inoculation training on self-control and academic stress of female students.
Methods: The present quasi-experimental research was conducted based on a pre-test-post-test control group design with a follow-up. The statistical population consisted of all female high school students in Ramhormoz in the 2019-2020 academic year. Using a multi-stage random sampling technique, three schools were selected from this statistical population. The Self-Control Questionnaire and the Academic Stress Questionnaire were among the tools utilized in this investigation. The data were analyzed in SPSS software using univariate analysis of covariance and Bonferroni pairwise comparison test.
Results: The findings indicated a significant difference in self-control and academic stress between the experimental and control groups. In addition, it was revealed that training in emotion regulation had a more marked impact on reducing academic stress and enhancing self-control (P<0.01).
Conclusion: As evidenced by the obtained results, it can be concluded that training in emotion regulation is more effective in reducing academic stress and enhancing self-control. The findings of this study can be applied to reduce academic stress and enhance self-control among students.
