The Effectiveness of Emotion Regulation Training on Employees' Impulsivity, Frustration Tolerance, And Anxious Thoughts

Abstract

The aim of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of emotion regulation training on impulsivity, frustration tolerance, and public opinion of a private fintech investment consulting company in Tehran. This study was applied in terms of purpose and quasi-experimental in terms of method with a pre-test-post-test design and a control group. The statistical population of the study consisted of all private fintech investment consulting companies in Tehran in 1404-1405, with an estimated number of 158 people. The study sample was divided into two experimental and control groups according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The Barratt Impulsivity Questionnaire (1959), the Harrington Naami Tolerance Questionnaire (2005), and the Wells Public Opinion Questionnaire (1994) were used to collect data. The research data were analyzed using the multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) and univariate analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) methods, and considering the pre-test as a control. The findings showed that the effect of pretest on impulsivity scores was significant (F=12.86, Sig=0.00), while the effect of pretest on frustration tolerance (F=0.19, Sig=0.67) and thoughts (F=0.19, Sig=0.66) scores was not significant. Considering the purpose of the study and comparing the performance of the experimental and control groups, the results show that emotion regulation training can be carried out as an intervention. Accordingly, the use of emotion regulation training in workplaces can create the basis for promoting cognitive adaptation, more effective management of emotions, and improving their individual and professional performance.
