The present study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of mindfulness training in reducing the difficulty in emotion regulation and distress tolerance of students with behavioral risks. The present research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of the research consisted of all male students with risky behaviors between the ages of 14 and 18 who were referred to the counseling and psychology center in Karaj city in 2023, of which there were 30 people (15 people in the control group and 15 people in the experimental group) were selected through the purposeful sampling method and randomly replaced in two groups. To collect data, Gratz & Roemer's Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS, 2004) and Simons & Gaher's Distress Tolerance Scale (DTS, 2008) were used, and mindfulness training was carried out during 10 sessions and once a week for 60 minutes. Multivariate analysis of the covariance test was used to analyze the data. The research findings showed a significant difference of (P<0.0001) between the post-test mean of emotion regulation difficulty and distress tolerance in both experimental and control groups. As a result, emotion regulation training using techniques such as thoughts, emotions, and conscious behavior can be used as an effective approach to reduce the difficulty in emotional regulation and improve distress tolerance in adolescents with behavioral problems.
