The study population included individuals diagnosed with COVID-۱۹ who sought treatment at [MASKED FOR REVIEW], Iran. A total of ۳۰ participants were selected through convenient sampling and randomly assigned to either an experimental group (n = ۱۵) or a control group (n = ۱۵). The experimental group received nine sessions of CBT, while the control group received no intervention. Data were collected using Tanji's (۱۹۹۹) Self-Control Questionnaire and Buss and Perry's (۱۹۹۲) Aggression Questionnaire.
