Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the function of resilience, cognitive emotion regulation and quality of friendship among two groups of smoker and none smoker university students. Using cluster random-sampling method, 200 university students were administered to cognitive emotion regulation, quality of friendship and resilience questionnaires. Data were analyzed by t-test, pearson’s correlation coefficient, partial correlation and stepwise regression.
Results showed that the mean of resilience and positive and negative emotion regulation strategies have significant difference in two smoker and none smoker groups. Additionally, controlling the influence of resilience, there was a positive significant relation between positive emotion regulation strategies and quality of friendship.
Smoker students have less positive emotion regulation strategies and resilience than the none-smoker students.
