Aim: This study aimed to investigate the role of cognitive emotion regulation strategies and behavioral activator-inhibitor systems in depression.Methods: The research method was descriptive correlational with 240 female undergraduate and graduate students of Shahrekord University (Western province of Iran) selected through a random sampling method. They answered Beck Depression Inventory, Granovsky’s Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, and Carver and White’s Brain Systems Scale. The data were analyzed using SPSS 22. Results: The mean and standard deviation of each variable were calculated as descriptive statistics, and Pearson correlation was employed to evaluate the relationships of variables. The results showed a significant negative correlation between behavioral activator systems and depression, and a significant positive correlation between behavioral inhibitor systems and depression. In general, the behavioral activator-inhibitor systems predicted 33% of depression variance. In addition, there was a significant positive relationship between maladaptive strategies of cognitive emotion regulation and depression and a significant negative relationship between adaptive strategies of cognitive emotion regulation and depression.Conclusion: The results showed that among the maladaptive strategies of cognitive emotion regulation, the catastrophic component predicted about 29% of depression variance, and among the adaptive strategies of cognitive emotion regulation, the acceptance component predicted about 39% of depression variance. In general, the results of this study indicated that brain-behavioral systems and emotional cognitive regulation strategies had chief roles in predicting depression. Relying on the findings of this study, we can present a practical framework to explain the symptoms of depression and its treatment.

The statistical population included mothers who had primary school children in the fall of 2021 in Shahrekord; A sample of 377 of them was selected by available methods. Data were collected using questionnaires of the California Scale of Social Adjustment (1953), Sanaei Marital Conflicts (2000) and Garnfsky Cognitive Emotion Regulation (2006) and analyzed by multiple regression and Pearson correlation coefficient.ResultsFindings showed a negative and significant relationship between marital conflict and negative emotion regulation skills (P <0.01) and a positive and significant relationship between positive emotion regulation skills and social adjustment of primary school children (P <0.01).DiscussionThe findings generally indicate that the existence of marital conflicts between parents and difficulties in the cognitive regulation of emotions can cause social maladaptation of children in primary school.Keywords: Children's social adjustment, Marital conflicts, Cognitive emotion regulation skills.Author Contributions: In the present study, the second author, as a supervisor, has supervised and strategized the overall research process and compiled and finalized the corrections of the article.
