Abstract

The present study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of ACT on the cognitive emotion regulation and intolerance of uncertainty in the students suffering from OCD. It was a quasi-experimental study with pretest, posttest, control group and two-month follow-up design. The statistical population of the study included the students with OCD in the city of Isfahan in 2017-18. 30 first high school students with OCD were selected through non-random purposive sampling and replaced into experimental and control groups (15 students with OCD in the experimental group and 15 students with OCD in the control group). The experimental group received ten seventy-five-minute ACT sessions during three months. The applied questionnaires in the study included Maudsley’s obsessiion inventory (Hajson and Rachman, 1980) and Cognitive Emotion Regulation questionnaire(Gross, John) and Intolerance of uncertainty questionnaire (Mcline, 1993). The data from the study were analyzed through repeated measurement ANOVA by SPSS23 statistical software. the results showed that ACT has significantly influenced the Cognitive Emotion Regulation and Intolerance of uncertainty in the students with OCD (p<0.001) in a way that this therapy was able to lead to the increase of Cognitive Emotion Regulation and Intolerance of uncertainty in the students with OCD. according to the findings of the present study it can be concluded that ACT employing cases such as mental techniques, observing the self as the background, cognitive defusion techniques, stipulating values, and committed action can be used as an efficient therapy to increase the Cognitive Emotion Regulation and Intolerance of uncertainty in the students
