Emotional regulation expresses the psychological and behavioural processes through which individuals affect their own and others’ feelings. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of emotional regulation training on test anxiety and processing efficiency among high school girl students. The research is carried out using a quasi-experimental design. Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and Information Processing Index (IPI) were used as research tools. All the female students of Yasouj school (n=44; sample=22, control=22) during 2017-18 school year were selected as the population of this study using simple random. Participants in the experimental group received emotion regulation training based on Grass model. The training included 8 sessions per hour twice a week. The obtained data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). Data analyses showed that emotional regulation training was effective for test anxiety and processing efficiency. Thus, emotion regulation skills can be offered to students for enabling them to manage their emotions, anxiety in particular, at school.
