Abstract

This study aimed to compare self-regulatory behaviors and meta-mood in students with and without separation anxiety. Its design was descriptive and casual-comparative. The population consisted of all high school students in Roodsar in 2015-2016. 160 (80 female, 80 male) students were selected via purposive sampling. The data were collected by Adult Separation Anxiety Questionnaire (Manicavasagar, 2003), Self-regulation Questionnaire (Brown et al., 1999), and Meta-mood Scale (Palmer et al, 1999) and analyzed by multivariate analysis of variance. The results indicated significantly lower levels of self-regulatory behaviors and meta-mood in students with separation anxiety compared to those without (p=.05). Therefore, these students face more difficulties in regulating their behaviors and emotions and highly likely be exposed to psychological damages.
