Abstract (12 Views)
Aims: Aggression is a growing global concern among adolescents, particularly female students, and is associated with deficiencies in emotion regulation and frustration tolerance. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of resilience and self-compassion training on emotion regulation and frustration tolerance in female students with clinical symptoms of aggression.
Materials & Methods: This clinical trial, conducted in 2024, employed a pre-test, post-test, and one-month follow-up design. The study sample included 45 female middle school students with symptoms of aggression, randomly assigned to two experimental groups (resilience training, n=15; self-compassion training, n=15) and a control group (n=15) that received no intervention. Resilience training was conducted in 10 weekly sessions of 75 minutes each, while compassion-focused therapy was implemented in 8 weekly sessions of 90 minutes. Data were collected using the Affective Control Scale (ACS) and the Frustration Discomfort Scale (FDS). Data analysis was performed using repeated measures analysis of variance with SPSS 27 software.
Findings: The findings indicated that both resilience training and self-compassion training significantly improved emotion regulation and frustration tolerance compared to the control group (P<0.001). The effects of these interventions were sustained at the one-month follow-up, demonstrating their long-term effectiveness. However, the study found no significant difference in effectiveness between the two experimental groups.
Conclusion: Both resilience and self-compassion training are effective strategies for improving emotion regulation and frustration tolerance in female students with aggressive tendencies. These findings suggest that either approach can be used to achieve similar, lasting improvements in these skills.
