The aim of the present study was to investigate and compare the effectiveness of Unified transdiagnostic therapy with cognitive-behavioral therapy on emotion regulation and life quality of child laborers.

The present study was a quasi-experimental study with a comparison group, randomized assignment and pretest-posttest . The statistical population was all child laborers in Tehran and the statistical sample was 45 children under the auspices of the Empowerment Center for Women and Children in Tehran in 1398.The Granowski et al. Scale of emotion regulation and the children and adolescents life quality scale were administered before and after the intervention and 3 months after the end of treatment in the follow-up phase. The results were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance.

The output of the mixed analysis of variance test indicates that the effect of time factor on emotion regulation (F = 38.99, P <0.01; F = 13.45; P <0.01) as well as time and group interaction in regulation Emotion (0.48 = partial ƞ2; 38.99F =; 0.000 000 P <; 0.38 = partial ƞ2; 06 / 13F =; 0.000 000 <) is significant. Also, the comparison of the effectiveness of emotion regulation strategies from the interventions shows that the means of transdiagnostic therapy were more effective than cognitive-behavioral therapy in reducing negative emotional regulation strategies and increasing positive emotion regulation strategies.

The results of the study indicate that the child version of unified transdiagnostic protocol can be used on vulnerable populations. On the other hand, it seems that the intervention based on improving the quality of life due to the emphasis on the sixteen elements of this structure, can be considered as a pilot version to improve the quality of life of these children.

 The purpose of this study was to compare the meta-diagnostic constructs of emotion regulation, negative repetitive thoughts, cognitive flexibility, and social adjustment in two groups of adolescents with and without preclinical symptoms of emotional disorders.

 The samples of this cross-sectional and comparative research includes included 140 teenagers who were divided into two groups. Adolescents were divided into two groups based on the diagnostic interview and DASS-21 questionnaire. Statistical analysis of the data was done using the Mann-Whitney and Chi- 2 square tests.

 Cognitive flexibility and emotion regulation in the group of healthy adolescents was significantly higher than the group of adolescents with preclinical symptoms. However, the level of social adjustment was not significantly different between the two groups of adolescents with preclinical symptoms and healthy adolescents.

The significant difference between the two groups of teenagers in meta-diagnostic structures shows the importance of these factors in the process of prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of emotional disorders and symptoms such as anxiety and depression.

Practical Implications:

Considering the existence of significant differences in the two groups of adolescents in meta-diagnostic cognitive and emotional structures, effective measures can be taken in order toto prevent the complete clinical manifestation of emotional disorders; . As a result of these measures, he took an important step can be taken in to reducing reduce the financial, psychological, and social costs caused by these disorders

Anxiety disorders are one of the most common disorders in childhood and adolescence. Given the consequences of these disorders on the academic, family, and social performance of children and adolescents, identifying the most effective psychological interventions for these disorders is more important. The purpose of this study is to review the studies on the effectiveness of cognitivebehavioral therapy on anxiety disorders in children and adolescents in Iran.

In this systematic review, 54 studies from three databases, including Magiran ،SID ،Noormags, on the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy on anxiety disorders in children and adolescents from 2009 to 2019 in Iran were collected, and 27 studies were selected after evaluation and compliance with inclusion and exclusion criteria and the Strobe checklist. Eventually, 14 of them were studied in total and 13 in summary.

In these studies, 1000 children and adolescents have been studied. The findings showed that in most studies, the reported effect size ranged from 0.15 to 0.48, which is a moderate effect size for the effectiveness of treatment. All the studied studies had several theoretical and methodological problems. Some of these common problems: Poor or incomplete comparison with similar previous studies, poor explanations provided for treatment effectiveness, low sample size, useless advanced statistical formulas, and lack of reference to methods, not to mention the methods of monitoring treatment. Also, in most of these studies, the principles and guidelines of the International Standard Clinical Trial were not followed.

The results of the reviewed studies indicate the low to moderate effectiveness of intervention protocols, but it seems that if the theoretical and methodological problems of these studies in Iran are resolved, a more accurate estimate of the efficacy of cognitive-behavioral therapy for anxiety disorders in children and adolescents can be made.
