Background and aim: Social interest and emotional self-regulation are important aspects of successful social interactions and psychological well-being. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of software cognitive empowerment training and perceptual-motor skills reconstruction program training on social interest and emotional self-regulation, and to compare these two trainings with each other.
Methods: The participants of this study included seventh-grade students in Mashhad City studying in the academic year 2022-2023. The number of 45 students was selected by non-random sampling method and randomly included in three groups, namely the software cognitive empowerment group, perceptual-motor skills reconstruction group, and control group. The training programs used in this study were Captain’s Log Mind Power Builder software and Werner-Reini’s training program. Moreover, Garnevski’s (2001) Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire and Social Interest Scale (2021) were used for evaluation.
Results: The results of this study demonstrated that both educational programs had a positive and significant effect on social interests and emotional self-regulation. Although software cognitive empowerment training was more effective in improving emotional self-regulation, perceptual-motor skill restoration program training showed a greater effect in increasing social interest. The average scores of social interest before and after software cognitive empowerment training were 212.40 and 225.67 and perceptual-motor rehabilitation program training was 212.87 and 226.73. In addition, the average scores of positive emotional self-regulation before and after software cognitive empowerment training were reported as 58.07 and 58.40 and perceptual-motor rehabilitation program training as 56.73 and 58.73. The mean negative emotional self-regulation scores before and after software cognitive empowerment training was 48.67 and 48.13 and perceptual-motor rehabilitation program training was 46.07 and 48.07.
Conclusion: The software cognitive empowerment training and perceptual-motor rehabilitation program training for social interest variables and emotional self-regulation dimensions considering the control group were effective on the subjects. However, the software cognitive empowerment training was found to be more effective in improving emotional self-regulation, while the perceptual-motor skills reconstruction program training was more effective in enhancing social interest.
