Abstract

Research Aim: According to Maslow's theory, love, liking and being liked is one of the basic human needs. Therefore, the need for love and like must be satisfied so that one can act unselfishly and not experience a related set of psychologically traumatic symptoms, but many times the connection is not achieved or separation takes place. Lack of reunion or separation after the period of heartbreak can be a big blow for some and turn into one of the saddest events and the most bitter periods of a person's life. Thus, one of the most common and profound experiences of loss and grief is related to the failure of the collapse of romantic relationships, and mainly love. Therefore, in the present study, the effectiveness of emotion cognitive regulation training based on Gross model on psychological profile, positive and negative emotion, and hope in female students with love trauma was investigated. Research method: The research method is a experimental intervention with pre-test and post-test with the control group. The statistical population of this study was all female students with love trauma, undergraduate students in the second to fourth year, in the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences, living in the dormitory of Mohaghegh Ardabili University. The number of samples in the leading study was 34 (17 people in each group) by purposive sampling method (people who had a real and emotional separation from a heterosexual loved one in the last 6 months). Therefore, the sampling method will be purposeful with random substitution (lottery). Also to determine the target sample of the Love Trauma Syndrome Inventory (LTSI), to perform the intervention program of the emotion cognitive regulation based on Gross model, and to measure the dependent variables of the Miller Hope Scale (MHS), the Positive and negative affect (PANAS) and Mental Pathology Symptoms Checklist (SCL-90-R) were used. Multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) was used to analyze the data. Findings: Data analysis showed that the assumptions (homogeneity of covariances and variances) are valid. Also, the effect of group membership showed a significant effect of the intervention on the love trauma syndrome P= 0.001, hope P= 0.006, negative affect P= 0.001, and lack of significant on positive affect P= 0.083, as well as the total index(GSI) of psychological profile P= 0.0001 and its components including: obsessive-compulsive P= 0.008, sensitivity in interpersonal relationships P= 0.001, hostility P= 0.001, fobia = P = 0.23, and Psychosis is P= 0.020, and lack of significant on somatization is P= 0.100, depression is P= 0.083, anxiety is P= 0.087, and paranoid is P= 0.096. Conclusion: Therefore, group intervention of emotion cognitive regulation based on Gross model leads to improvement of love trauma symptoms, negative affect and hope, but has no significant effect on positive emotion. Also, in the components of psychological profile leading to the improvement of the total index (GSI), and in the components of obsessive-compulsive, sensitivity in interpersonal relationships, hostility, fobia and psychosis, but on the components of somatization, depression, Anxiety and paranoid do not have a significant effect. Therefore, this intervention can be performed in groups to improve patients in a shorter time.
