Abstract

This study aimed to determine the Emotional processing in the
prediction of adjustment in female students with symptoms of Oppositional
Defiant Disorder. In this descriptive-correlational study, the population
consisted of all female high school students with symptoms of Oppositional
Defiant Disorder in the city of Ardabil. The sample was a group of 180 female
high school students with high scores on the Oppositional Defiant Disorder
Checklist. Data were collected through the Emotional processing - Short Form,
the Adjustment Inventory for School Students and the Oppositional Defiant
Disorder Checklist and analyzed via Pearson correlation coefficient and
multiple regression analysis. The results indicated a significant relationship
between Emotional processing and the adjustment level of students with
Oppositional Defiant Disorder (r=-0.32, p>0.001). Furthermore, the results
of multiple regression analysis showed that %7.7 of variances in the students’
adjustment level could be predicted by their Emotional processing indicating
the low predictive power of Emotional processing for the determination of the
adjustment level of students with Oppositional Defiant Disorder.
