Abstract
: The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effectiveness of the self-compassion-attachment intervention based on strategies to cope with stress in adolescents in Tehran. The current research was of a quasi-experimental type. The statistical population of the research was formed by the teenagers of Tehran in 1402. The sample size was equal to 30 people who were randomly divided into two experimental (15 people) and control (15 people) groups. The pre-test stage was implemented, then the training of self-compassion therapy based on attachment (Garcia-Campaio et al., 2016) was given to the experimental group, and then, a post-test was taken from both groups. Data were collected using Endler and Parker's (1990) coping strategies and analyzed by SPSS-26 software using covariance analysis. The results of the research showed that the strategy of dealing with avoidant and emotional stress in the post-test stage was significantly reduced in the experimental group compared to the control group (P<0.01). Also, the results showed that the experimental group's problem-oriented stress-coping strategy in the post-test stage had a significant increase compared to the control group (P<0.01). Therefore, self-compassion-oriented intervention is effective in reducing ineffective methods of coping with stress and promoting effective methods of coping with stress among teenagers.
