      ab: Background: It seems that living in the modern era, the generation gap, low resilience, and difficulty controlling emotions and feelings cause them to have difficulty communicating with others, and this incompatibility may manifest itself in the form of self-injurious behaviors. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of emotion regulation therapy on self-compassion, emotion control, and distress tolerance of female students with self-injurious behaviors. Methods: The method of the current research was a semi-experimental experiment with a pre-test-post-test design with an experimental group and a control group. The statistical population of the research included all second-grade female teenagers with self-harm behaviors in Sari city in the academic year 2023-2024. The sample selection process in the present study included two stages: the first stage was selected using a multi-stage cluster sampling method of self-injurious behaviors questionnaire in order to screen adolescents with selfinjurious behaviors. In the next stage, among teenagers with self-harm behaviors, 36 people (including 18 people in the experimental group and 18 people in the control group) were selected by simple random sampling and were specialized in 2 groups. To collect data, Gratez's self-injurious behaviors questionnaire (2001), Neff's Self-compassion Scale (2003), Williams et al.'s Affective Control Scale (1997) and Simmons and Gaher's distress tolerance scale (DTS) (2005) were used. The experimental group received emotion regulation therapy in 8 sessions of 90 minutes in a group manner, and the control group did not receive any therapy. The collected data were analyzed using covariance analysis tests and SPSS-24 software. The significance level for all tests was considered to be 0.05. Results: The results indicated that emotion regulation treatment has improved self-compassion, emotion regulation and improved distress tolerance in students with self-injurious behaviors (p<0.001). Conclusion: Based on the findings of this research, it can be concluded that by using emotion regulation training, it is possible to improve self-compassion, regulate emotions, and improve distress tolerance of female students with self-injurious behaviors, and this can reduce their tendency to self-injurious behaviors.
