The current research aimed to compare the effectiveness of executive function empowerment training and emotion regulation skills training on emotional maturity in adolescents visiting the counseling center of the Martyrs Foundation and Veterans Affairs in Babol City. The research method was a quasi-experimental design with pre-test-post-test and control group. The statistical population of this study included all 15 to 16-year-old female adolescents visiting the counseling center of the Martyrs Foundation and Veterans Affairs in Babol City during the academic year 2023. A total of 45 individuals were selected based on availability and inclusion criteria and randomly assigned to two experimental groups of 15 and one control group of 15. The Sing and Bhargava Emotional Maturity Scale (1999) was used to collect data. Summary sessions of executive function empowerment training were conducted in 10 sessions of 60 minutes each, and summary sessions of emotion regulation skills training were conducted in 10 sessions of 90 minutes each for the experimental groups. The findings showed that there was a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test means of the three groups in emotional maturity and its components (P<0.05); In addition, no significant difference was observed between the post-test and follow-up groups (P<0.05). Also, there was a significant difference between the post-test mean of the two experimental groups (P<0.05). It can be concluded that the training in emotion regulation skills has been a more efficient and effective intervention than the training in empowerment of executive functions.
