Abstract

The present article was done with the aim to investigate the effectiveness of self- compassion treatment on the tolerance of failure and emotions control among poor parenting Adolescents of Tehran family analogous centers. The method of present research was quasi-experimental by the design of pre- posttest in separated groups. The statistical population consisted of all adolescents between the ages of 13 to 19 who were under supervision of Tehran welfare organization in 2023. The sample case was consisted of 40 adolescents who were voluntarily participating in the study and were selected and categorized into two experimental and control groups. The Harrington’s (2005) questionnaire was applied to measure adolescents’ tolerance of failure, also their emotions control was evaluated through Williams et al (1997) questionnaire. Both groups took part in the pretests of tolerance of failure and emotions control prior to the treatment. Self- compassion treatment was presented within 8 sessions through an educational protocol for the experimental group, however the control group had no educational treatment session. Then, after these treatment sessions, both groups re-answered to the same questionnaires of pre- test level, the process was repeatedly done after 45 days. The obtained data was analyzed through Mixed Variance Analysis. The Results demonstrated that self-compassion treatment was effective on the tolerance of failure and the emotions control increase, meanwhile the effectiveness of tolerance of failure was stable up to 45 days later(p<0.05). According to the effectiveness of self-compassion treatment on the increase of adolescents’ tolerance of failure and emotions control, it was suggested to apply this method in the family analogous supportive centers, in order to improve adolescents’ emotional status and tolerance of failure.
