The aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of metacognitive therapy and behavioral activation therapy on guilt in women with dysthymic disorder. The current research was a semi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design and control and with follow-up groups. The statistical population of this research included all women with dysthymic disorder who were referred to psychological clinics located in the 8th district of Tehran in 1400, and 45 people were selected in a purposeful way and randomly assigned to two experimental groups, and one control group. The instrument of this research was Kugler and Jon's Guilt Questionnaire (1992) (CJGFQ). For the first experimental group, metacognitive therapy (Wells, 2009), and for the second experimental group behavioral activation therapy (Dimidjian et al., 2008) was held in 8 90-minute sessions twice a week. The data were analyzed using mixed variance analysis. The results of the Varbans analysis showed that there is a significant difference between the groups in the post-test and follow-up of guilt and its components (p>0.05). The results showed that both interventions were effective in guilt and its components, but the behavior activation intervention showed more effectiveness, and a significant difference was observed between the two treatments (p>0.05). Based on the results of this study, it can be said that due to the greater effect of behavioral activation therapy on reducing guilt, alone or with complementary treatment, it can be effective in reducing guilt caused by depression in women with dysthymic disorder.

The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of metacognitive therapy and behavioral activation therapy on reducing negative emotional regulation and increasing positive emotional regulation in female patients with dysthymic disorder.

The present study was a semi-experimental one with a pre-test-post-test-follow-up design with a control group. The statistical population of this research included all patients with dysthymic disorder who attended the psychological clinics located in the 8th district of Tehran, 45 of whom were selected in a purposeful way and randomly assigned to two experimental groups and one control group. The instrument of this research was the cognitive-emotional regulation questionnaire of Garnefski et al. (2002) with the validity of 0.73 to 0.88. For the first experimental group, metacognitive therapy (Wells, 2009) and for the second experimental group behavioral activation therapy (Dimidjian et al., 2008) were held in eight 90-minute sessions, but the control group did not receive any intervention. The data were analyzed using mixed variance analysis and Benferroni in SPSS-26 software.

The results indicated that metacognitive therapy and behavioral activation therapy reduced cognitive-emotional regulation and its components at the end of the interventions and the follow-up period (p>0.05). Also, behavioral activation therapy is more effective than metacognitive therapy in reducing emotional cognitive regulation symptoms (p>0.05).

Due to the effect of behavioral activation therapy on depression, it can be effective alone or with complementary therapy in reducing cognitive-emotional regulation and depressive symptoms in patients with dysthymic disorder.
