The statistical population of the study consisted of obese and overweight male students in Isfahan who referred to health centers in Isfahan city in 1397. The sample consisted of 36 obese and overweight male students who were selected by convenience sampling from those referring to health centers in Isfahan. Research tools including Graz and Romer emotion regulation difficulty questionnaire, Wisconsin and Stroop test were used to measure executive functions.
