| Measure | Time frame |

| Negative Emotional States. Timepoint: Emotional states will be measured once before the implementation of the intervention in the first session (pre-test) and once in the last session after the intervention. Method of measurement: In order to examine emotional states, the original version of DASS has 42 questions, but later it was shortened and reduced to 21 questions. This questionnaire has 21 items including 8 items related to depression (D), 7 items related to anxiety (A) and 6 items related to stress (S).;Executive Functions. Timepoint: Executive functions will be measured once before the implementation of the intervention in the first session (pre-test) and once in the last session after the intervention. Method of measurement: EFQ standard questionnaire of executive functions is used to check executive functions. This questionnaire was compiled by Tos Nejati (2012) and has 30 items and seven subscales. The scoring method is a 5-point Likert scale from almost never (5) to always (1). Its seven subscales include memory (1 to 6), selective attention, questions 7 to 12), decision making (questions 13 to 17), planning (questions 18 to 20), persistent memory (questions 21 to 23), social cognition. (questions 24 to 26) and cognitive flexibility (questions 27 to 30).;Quantitative electroencephalographic waves(QEEG). Timepoint: QEEG will be measured once before the implementation of the intervention in the first session (pre-test) and once in the last session after the intervention. Method of measurement: An EEG device made in Iran under a Canadian license will be used to record the electroencephalogram. In this method, signals and brain waves are recorded by the electrodes on the scalp. This information is entered into the computer and converted into numbers and graphs through QEEG (quantitative brain mapping).;Emotion Regulation. Timepoint: Cognitive emotional regulation will be measured once before the implementation of the intervention in the first session (pre-tes | — |
