effectiveness of self-regulation training on the psychological wellbeing and social participation of students

The purpose of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of self-regulation training on the psychological well-being and social participation of students. The research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design and a control group. The statistical population included the sixth-grade students of Qaenat city in the academic year 2022-2023. The sample size of the research included 36 female students who were selected by available sampling method and randomly assigned to two groups (18 people in each group). The research tools included the Social Participation Questionnaire (CPQ) by Sohrabi et al. (2009) and the Riff Psychological Well-Being Scale Short Form (RSPWB-SF) by Riff (2002). The control group did not receive any intervention, but the experimental group received self-regulation intervention during seven sessions (in seven ninety-minute sessions and one session each week). Multivariate covariance analysis was used to analyze the data. The findings showed that by controlling the pre-test between the post-test average of all six components of psychological well-being (self-acceptance, positive relationships with others, autonomy, mastery of the environment, purposeful life, and personal growth) and the variable of social participation in two experimental groups there was a significant difference control at the 0.01 level. The results showed that self-regulation training is probably an effective treatment for improving psychological well-being and social participation in students.
