Background and Aim: Oppositional defiant disorder as one of the serious behavioural disorders in children indicates a high average stability throughout life. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of coping power Cognitive- Behavioral Therapy and Executive Function- Based Treatment on emotional regulation in children with oppositional defiant disorder.
Material and Method: It was a quasi-experimental study, with a pre-test, post-test that included a control group. Participants were selected by cluster sampling method among second- grade elementary school male students and were screened using the Child Symptom Inventory-4 (CSI-4) questionnaire coupled with clinical interviews. 45 students with oppositional defiant disorder were randomly assigned into two experimental groups and one control group. The first experimental group was treated with Coping Power Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and the second group received Executive Function- Based Treatment while no intervention made on control group. The children’s emotional regulation was evaluated using the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ-K-P) at three stages: pre-test, post-test and follow-up. Data were analysed by multivariate covariance (MANCOVA).
Results: Compared to the control group, both treatments resulted in a significant difference between the mean post-test scores and the follow-up scores (P < 0.001, P < 0.001). There were no significant differences between the estimated mean scores of the coping power therapy group and the executive functioning treatment group in the post-test and follow up stages (P < 0.99, P < 0.135).
Conclusion: Both treatment methods had significant, long-term effects on positive and negative strategies of emotional regulation in comparison to the control group.
