The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of emotion regulation skills and meta-cognitive beliefs in reducing social phobia among students. The study method was experimental type. The statistical society of this study was consisted of 60 high school girls in Tehran, who were selected randomly as case group and were divided evenly into three groups (each group 20 individuals). Emotion regulation and meta-cognition training were considered for both groups for 8 sessions and one group was selected as control. Data were collected using the Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN). Obtained information was analyzed via MANCOVA and the SPSS software. The results were demonstrative of reduced symptoms in social phobia and panic symptoms, avoidance and physiological symptoms in the case group (p < 0.001) after receiving emotion regulation skills and meta-cognitive training. Tukey test showed effectiveness of two methods (Emotion regulation and meta-cognition). It appears plausible that emotion regulation and meta-cognitive interventions can be used to improve the symptoms of social phobia.
