This research was conducted to investigate the mediating role of emotional regulation skills in the relationship between social skills with executive functions of students. The current research was a descriptive-correlation type of structural equation modeling. The statistical population of the research was all students of the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences of Azad University, South Tehran Branch, in the first semester of 2023-2024. Using the available sampling method, a sample of 250 people was selected and participated in the study. Research tools included a questionnaire of executive functions (EFQ, Nejati, 2013), a Social skills questionnaire (MESSY, Matson & et al, 1983), and an Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ, Gross & John, 2003). The data were analyzed using the structural equation analysis method. The results of the structural equation analysis indicated the appropriate fit of the model. The findings showed that social skills could predict executive functions both directly and indirectly through emotion regulation skills (suppression) (p < 0.001). These results show that social skills, considering the important role of emotion regulation skills (suppression), can explain executive functions, and it is necessary to pay attention to these factors in interaction with each other in programs to improve executive functions.
