Comparison of negative mood and emotional expression in students with and without specific learning disorder

The purpose of this study was to compare negative mood setting and emotional expression in students with and without specific learning disorder. The method of this research is causal-comparative. The sample consisted of 90 students (45 students with learning disabilities and 45 normal students in the same way), which were selected by simple random sampling. To collect the data, Neutral Mental Setting (NMR) questionnaires, Catanzar and Mears, and Emotional Balance (BEQ) Gross and John were used. Data were analyzed using descriptive and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). The results of this study showed that there is a significant difference between students with learning disabilities and normal in the setting of negative mood and emotional expression. The findings of this study indicate that students with learning disabilities have behavioral and emotional issues. Behavioral and emotional deficiencies are usually associated with problems with academic growth and individual capabilities. Therefore, recognizing the behavioral and emotional characteristics of patients with learning disabilities is one of the essential steps in the diagnosis and rehabilitation process of these students.
