چکیده:
Objectives: The purpose of the study was to compare the emotion regulation strategies of
blind and sighted students.
Methods: The research method used was descriptive and causal-comparative, and the
statistical population included all the sighted and blind students at the University of Isfahan and
the Islamic Azad University of Khorasgan. The sample volume was 64 members (32 members
in each group). Sampling was conducted using the availability sampling method for the first
group and the simple random sampling method for the second group. Data was gathered and
measured with the help of the Emotion Regulation Scale by O.P. John and J.J. Gross, and
analyzed using SPSS 21 and the ANOVA test.
Results: The results indicated a significant difference between two groups with regard to
applied emotion regulation strategies (P<0.05); Blind students applied both strategies (cognitive
reappraisal and expressive suppression) less. The effect of gender, interaction between gender
and vision status was also not significant with respect to emotion regulation (P>0.05).
Discussion: Emotion regulation is a possible influential factor in many problems that blind
people suffer from, more than sighted ones, and using interventions that target emotion
regulation strategies would be useful.

Hence, due to a decreased abil- ity to use emotion regulation strategies, the blind suffer more mood disorders than sighted people.
The review of the literature indicates that although emo- tion and its management in blind people have been inves- tigated in the form of emotional intelligence, no study has investigated emotion regulation in this group.
Thus, this study aims to examine whether there are differences between emotion regulation strategies between blind and sighted subjects.
As seen in Table 1, the results of descriptive statistics indicate the high use of emotion regulation strategies among the sighted group.
