The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of quality of life therapy training and dialectical behavioral therapy on enduring the anxiety of female undergraduate psychology students at the Islamic Azad University, Tabriz Branch, who were addicted to smartphones. In this semi-experimental study, among students whose scores on the Smartphone Addiction Scale (SAS) were two above the mean standard deviation and on the Distress Tolerance Scale (DTS), one was lower than the mean standard deviation, 45 Individuals were randomly selected and randomly assigned to two experimental groups and one control group.The number of people in all three groups was 15. The subjects of the first and second groups were trained for 8 two-hour sessions based on quality of life techniques and dialectical behavioral therapy, but the control group did not receive any training. At the last session, questionnaires were again administered for all three groups. Three months after the post-test, a stress tolerance questionnaire was administered to all subjects to determine the effects of time training techniques.The results of single-variable covariance analysis showed that the teaching of dialectical behavioral therapy techniques was effective in increasing anxiety tolerance compared to quality of life therapy (P <0.05). Also, the results of one-way analysis of variance showed that the effectiveness of dialectical behavior therapy training techniques in quarterly follow-up has been maintained (P <0.01). So by teaching dialectical behavior therapy techniques, you can improve the tolerance of distress, which is probably one of the reasons for addiction to smartphones.
