The statistical population comprised all secondary school adolescents in Tehran during 2025, from which 30 participants were selected through convenience sampling and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The experimental group participated in ten 90-minute sessions of emotion regulation training, whereas the control group received no intervention. To assess the study variables, the Harrington Frustration Tolerance Questionnaire (2005) and the Barkley Deficits in Executive Functioning Scale (2011) were used.</p> <p><strong>Findings:</strong> Findings indicated that emotion regulation training led to a significant increase in frustration tolerance and improvement in executive functions—including inhibitory control, cognitive flexibility, and self-regulation—in the experimental group (p &lt; .05).</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> These results suggest that emotion regulation training can effectively enhance cognitive and emotional resilience in adolescents by improving self-awareness, emotional management, and flexible thinking skills. Therefore, implementing such training programs in educational and counseling settings is recommended to promote mental health and executive functioning among adolescents.</p> <p><strong><em>Keywords:</em></strong> <em>Emotion Regulation Training, Frustration Tolerance, Executive Functions, Adolescents</em></p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> https://journals.kmanpub.com/index.php/jayps/article/download/4727/8607
