Abstract

This study aimed to investigate on the effect of training compassion focused on affect control in female students in Isfahan. The method used in this study was semi-experimental, of the sort of pretest and post-test with control group and the statistical population were 16522 the female students of 13 to 16 from the year 1394 to 1395. To accomplish the research, 30 female first grade high school students were chosen by accessible sampling method and were randomly assigned to experiment and control groups (15 persons in each group). The experiment group received eight training compassion focused sessions. Participants responded to Affective Control Scale (Williams, et al, 1997) before and after the intervention. Then, a month later (follow-up). The results of the analysis of variance with repeated measurements showed that teaching compassion focused had a meaningful effect on the affect control of the female students (p < 0/05). This result had also continued in the follow-up period (p < 0/05). Due to the results of this study, it could be said that teaching compassion focused leads to the enhancement of affect control of the female students. Therefore, this intervention could be used for the improvement of psycho-cognitive state and affect control of the students.
