Considering the significance of social adjustment and quality of life in the deaf and the need for intervention to
improve such variables, the objective of the present study is to investigate the effectiveness of emotion regulation
training on quality of life and social adjustment in the deaf. Firstly, by informing all the deaf who had registered in
Mashhad Center of the Deaf, 39 subjects agreed to participate in the study. Then 24 volunteers who had diploma and
higher education and were suitable for getting emotion regulation training were selected. These deaf people were
randomly divided into control (12) and test groups (12). The test group received emotion training and the control
group did not receive any treatment. The questionnaire of quality of life and social adjustment were completed as
pre-test and post-test in both the test and control groups. Finally, for analyzing the data, covariance analysis and SPSS
18 software were also used. The present study indicated that emotion regulation training significantly increased the
quality of life and social adjustment of the deaf. In other words, the quality of life and social adjustment of the deaf
who were in the test group increased significantly compared to the deaf who were in the control group.
