Background and Purpose: Art therapy helps people to cope with their unknown feelings and emotions and, as a result, to achieve the self-awareness and the ability to overcome problems in a variety of ways. Emotion regulation plays a pivotal role in children’s mental health and it can contribute to their future achievements. The goal of this research was to study the effect of expressive art therapy on emotion regulation of primary school students in Isfahan.
Method: This research was a quasi-experimental study with pretest-posttest design. The sample included thirty two 8-9 year-old boys studying at grade two of primary school in Isfahan in 2017, who were selected by purposive sampling. Then the participants were randomly assigned to either the experimental or control group (16 students per group). The experimental group received twelve 60-90 sessions of expressive art therapy whereas the control group underwent no intervention. Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (2001) was used to gather the data. Finally, data were analyzed by analysis of covariance (ANCOVA).
Results: Based on the results of ANCOVA, expressive art therapy was effective on positive emotion regulation; in such a way that there was significant difference between the experimental and control group in terms of emotion regulation scores (p<0.05, F=4.72). Also, results showed that expressive art therapy had a significant positive effect on positive emotion regulation and reappraisal (p≤0.000, F=8.39) whereas it had not a significant effect on negative emotion regulation (p≥0.755, F=0.10). 
Conclusion: Through using self-expression, imagination, active participation, mind-body relationship and by activating and strengthening the cerebral cortex networks, expressive arts therapy can improve the positive emotion regulation skills which can help children to cope with stressful situations and to manage their behaviors.
