Abstract

Considering the significance of social adjustment and quality of life in the deaf and the need for intervention to improve such variables, the objective of the present study is to investigate the effectiveness of emotion regulation training on quality of life and social adjustment in the deaf. Firstly, by informing all the deaf who had registered in Mashhad Center of the Deaf, 39 subjects agreed to participate in the study. Then 24 volunteers who had diploma and higher education and were suitable for getting emotion regulation training were selected. These deaf people were randomly divided into control (12) and test groups (12). The test group received emotion training and the control group did not receive any treatment. The questionnaire of quality of life and social adjustment were completed as pre-test and post-test in both the test and control groups. Finally, for analyzing the data, covariance analysis and SPSS 18 software were also used. The present study indicated that emotion regulation training significantly increased the quality of life and social adjustment of the deaf. In other words, the quality of life and social adjustment of the deaf who were in the test group increased significantly compared to the deaf who were in the control group. © 2018, Advanced Scientific Research.
