The present study aimed to investigate the mediating role of attention in the relationship between mood and character and emotion regulation in children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder. The research method was a descriptive correlational study using structural equation modeling. The statistical population included all 7-10-year-old children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder referred to the child psychiatric clinic in Tehran's District 2 in 2024. Based on the Krejci and Morgan table, 220 people were selected through the convenience sampling method. The instruments of this study included the Temperament and Character Questionnaire (Constantino et al, 2002), Emotion Regulation (Gross and John, 2003), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (Kanzer, 1990). Data analysis was performed using structural equation modeling. The results showed that the proposed research model was a good fit. The findings showed that temperament and character had a positive and significant effect on attention and emotion regulation. Also, the effect of temperament and character on emotion regulation through attention was positive and significant. From the findings, it can be concluded that temperament and character, and attention play a key role in predicting emotion regulation in children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and accordingly, it seems necessary for counseling centers to pay more attention to these variables to improve the performance of children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
