The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy on social competence and emotional control in adolescent girls. The research used a semi-experimental pre-test/post-test design with two experimental groups and a control group. The study's statistical population consisted of all first-year female high school students in Gorgan during the academic year 1402-1403, totaling 300 students. Then, 30 students with poor scores on the Felner (1990) social competence questionnaire and the Williams and Chambliss (1997) emotional control questionnaire were selected via convenience sampling and randomly assigned to two experimental groups (15 people) and a control group (15 people). Cognitive-behavioral therapy sessions were conducted for 8 weekly sessions, one 60-minute session for the experimental group, and the control group did not receive any treatment. Data analysis in this study was performed using SPSS version 20, with two descriptive and inferential sections (multivariate analysis of covariance, MANCOVA). The results showed that cognitive-behavioral therapy led to improved social competence and emotional control in the experimental group subjects in the post-test phase.
