Abstract

Introduction: The purpose of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of anger management and emotion regulation training programs on social cognition of prisoners suffering from intermittent anger explosive disorder. Method: The research method is semi experimental. The sample consisted of 54 prisoners with intermittent rage explosive disorder who were identified by using  Kokaro et al.’s   Intermittent Explosive Anger Disorder Questionnaire and clinical interview amongst the prisoners of Rasht city and then assigned to three groups of anger management training, emotional regulation training and control group (18 people in each group). The first group was given anger management training, and emotion regulation training was applied to the second group, and the control group did not receive any training. Results: The Results of study showed that anger management and emotion regulation training programs were significantly effective in improving suitable social response and direct  and communicative aggressive response (p>0/05). The results also showed that anger management training was more effective in improving the suitable social response and direct and communicative aggressive response compared to emotional regulation training program. Conclusion: These findings suggest that anger management training and emotional regulation training can be used as alternative methods to improve the quality of life and social recognition of prisoners with intermittent rage explosive disorder.
