The aim of this study was to predict social adjustment based on ego strength and cognitive emotion regulation. The statistical population of the present study included all female students in high school. In this study, 337 female high school students were selected by the available sampling method. Research questionnaires included: Bell Adjustment Inventory Bell, (1961), (BAI), Ego Strength Scale Besharat, (2007), (ESS) and Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire Garnefski and Kraaij, (2006), (CERQ). This study is a descriptive correlational study. Pearson correlation coefficient and simultaneous regression analysis were used to analyze the research data. The results showed that by increasing the individual score in adaptive strategies of emotion regulation (p<0/05, r= 0/60) and ego strength (p<0/05, r= 0/50) the rate of social adjustment increases. On the other hand, the results showed that by reducing the score in maladaptive strategies of emotion regulation (p<0/05, r= -0/54) the rate of social adjustment increases. Findings showed that the combination of research variables is significantly related to social adjustment and explained 47% of its variances. According to the results of the present study, it can be concluded that ego strength is a psychological capacity, and emotions as biological responses affect interactions and social functioning. It is suggested to cultivate ego strength and teach cognitive emotion regulation strategies to promote social adjustment.
