We selected 331of first male high school students (14-16 ages) by the use of multi-stage cluster sampling method. We gathered the data by the use of two scales, including Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale and General Health Questionnaire and analyzed by Pearson's correlation test and multivariate regression. The obtained results indicated there was a significant relationship between difficulties in emotional regulation with mental health (p<0.05). The multivariate regression analysis indicated that emotional declaration deficit at most and lack of emotional awareness at least in DiER (predictive variables) predicate changes in mental health (criterion variable).
