the mediating role of information processing speed in the structural relationships of cognitive emotion regulation with adaptation in students with specific learning disabilities

This research was conducted with the aim of investigating the mediating role of information processing speed in the structural relationships between cognitive emotion regulation and adaptation in students with specific learning disabilities. The current research is a type of correlation studies and structural equation modeling. The research population included students with special learning disabilities in Kermanshah city in the academic year 1401-1402 who referred to learning disability centers. Among them, 230 people who met the criteria for entering the research were selected using available sampling. The research tools for data collection included Garnefski's cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire and Sinha's students' compatibility questionnaire and Stroop test. Data analysis was done by structural equation modeling using SPSS and AMOS software. The findings showed that cognitive emotion regulation has a direct and significant positive effect on adaptation (P<0.05). Cognitive emotion regulation has an indirect and significant positive effect on the adaptation of students with learning disabilities due to the speed of information processing (P<0.05).The results of the data analysis showed that the cognitive emotion regulation strategies have an effect on the adaptation of students with learning disabilities through the effect they have on the speed of information processing. In fact, by choosing cognitive regulation strategies, positive emotion has a positive effect on increasing the adaptability of these students through the speed of information processing.
