The quasi-experimental research design was pretest-posttest and follow-up with the control group. The statistical population of this study included all adolescents 14-18 years old with oppositional defiant disorder in Tehran in 2021-2022. The sample size consisted of 32 Subjects of adolescents (16 in the experimental group and 16 in the control group) from the statistical population were selected by the available sampling method and placed in two groups of control and experimental. For the experimental group, a designed family-centered emotion regulation program was implemented, while the control group did not receive any training. The research instruments included the Adolescent Behavioral Problems Scale (Achenbakh, 1991), Children and Adolescent Functional Performance Scale (Barkley, 2012), and Empathy Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents (Overgaauw et al, 2017). The results showed that family-centered emotion regulation intervention had a significant effect on executive functions and levels of empathy in the post-test and follow-up stages. Findings of this study provide useful information about family-centered emotion regulation program and counselors and psychologists can use this intervention to improve executive functions and levels of empathy in adolescents with oppositional defiant disorder.
