The aim of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of emotion regulation training on psychological capital and experiential avoidance among women headed households. The statistical population of this research consisted of women headed households who visited the counseling center of the Imam Khomeini Relief Foundation in Bojnourd (a city in Iran) during the spring of 2024. A total of 30 women were selected through voluntary sampling and randomly assigned to either the experimental group or the waitlist control group. The experimental group underwent emotion regulation training (eight 90-minute sessions), while the waitlist control group received no intervention. Data collection was conducted using the Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ) and the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (AAQ). Repeated measures analysis of variance revealed that emotion regulation training was effective in increasing psychological capital and reducing experiential avoidance among women headed households (p < 0.01), and this effect was maintained over time. Based on the findings of this study, it appears that enhancing the ability of women headed households to recognize, evaluate, and regulate emotions can increase their self-efficacy, hope, resilience, and optimism while reducing their experiential avoidance. Accordingly, emotion regulation training can be included in the list of educational programs for women headed households.
