Materials and Methods: The present cross-sectional causal-descriptive study was conducted on female students with a high BMI at the Azad University of Roudehen, Iran, during the academic year of 2018-2019. The sample size was selected by the convenience sampling method (50 girls with high BMI and 50 girls with normal body weight). The data were collected using the self-control scale and the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire. Data analysis was performed in SPSS software (version 23) by ANOVA and t-test. Results: According to the results, students with high BMI had lower levels of self-control and positive emotional regulation, compared to those with normal BMI. Moreover, the individuals with high BMI had a higher level of negative emotional regulation, compared to those with normal BMI. Conclusion: Strategies for emotion regulation are very important for self-control, eating styles, and BMI. It is, therefore, suggested to apply this intervention for the treatment of obesity. %> http://ajnpp.umsha.ac.ir/article-1-211-en.pdf %P 198-203 %& 198 %! %9 Research Article %L A-10-245-1 %+ Assistant Professor in Psychology, Department of Psychology, Faculty of Psychology and Social Sciences, Roudehen Branch, University of Roudehen, Roudehen, Iran %G eng %@ 2383-2436 %[ 2020
