Aim: Emotional flexibility is the ability to regulate and manage emotions, while perfectionism is the tendency to have very high standards and expectations and is often associated with anxiety, frustration, and psychological problems. In the present study, first, the level of emotional flexibility and perfectionism in people with obsessive beliefs was identified, and then the role of reality therapy (RT) on the above-mentioned changes was evaluated.
Materials & Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted with a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The statistical population included people with obsessive beliefs who referred to psychiatric clinics in Tehran in 2025. 30 people were selected through purposive sampling and randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups (15 people in each group). The research tools included the Emotional Flexibility Scale (EFC) and the Hill Perfectionism Inventory (HPI). The experimental group underwent RT intervention in ten 90-minute sessions, and the control group did not receive any intervention. The data were analyzed by SPSS-Ver.23 and using the multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) test.
Results: The findings of the present study showed that the mean scores of the components of positive emotional regulation, negative emotional regulation, and emotional communication in the experimental group for the pre-test phase were 3.85±22.67, 18.47±2.10, and 3.27±18.80, respectively, while in the post-test phase (after receiving the RT intervention), the aforementioned values were 3.88±28.07, 2.48±23.20, and 3.13±23.60, respectively, which had increased significantly (P<0.05). In addition, the total score of perfectionism for the experimental group in the pre-test and post-test phases was 12.06±214.80 and 10.98±189.60, respectively, which showed a significant difference between these two levels (P<0.05). For the control group, the change in the above-mentioned values in the two pre-test and post-test phases was not significant (P>0.05).
Conclusion: Based on the findings, it can be concluded that RT intervention, as an approach based on individual choice and responsibility, can be effective in modifying dysfunctional beliefs, especially obsessive and perfectionistic beliefs. These findings, while confirming the effectiveness of RT in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorders, can provide a basis for designing clinical interventions and training therapists in the field of cognitive psychology.
