Phase Two: Screening and identification of eligible students (those scoring at or above the cut-off score of 95 on the Iranian Adolescent Risk-Taking Questionnaire) in selected schools. A total of 60 eligible students will be selected from 3 designated schools (20 students from each school). Step 3: Following the traditional lottery method, each of the selected schools is assigned a number. The selection of 60 eligible students—to be placed into the experimental and control groups—is carried out by randomly drawing a number from a container, Blinding description: This task was carried out by the researcher and the instructor of the two interventions. The participants in this study, who were students, were unaware of the details. Each of the group intervention sessions was conducted in two separate schools at different times by a single therapist (trained in the research interventions), and the members of the two experimental groups did not know one another.Members of the control group were also selected from a separate school. To minimize the risk of cross-contamination between the interventions, the two treatment groups were organized separately, and the sessions for each intervention were conducted in independent groups. Throughout the implementation of the interventions, members of each group remained unaware of the content of the other group’s sessions; furthermore, they were instructed not to share the session content or the activities performed with students outside their own group. Additionally, the sessions for the two interventions were held at different times, and participants were assigned to their respective groups prior to the commencement of the intervention. Given that the participants were drawn from the same school community, the potential for interaction and the exchange of information among students—a possible source of contamination—was taken into account; this risk was mitigated as much as possible by conducting the sessions separately and emphasizing the confidentiality of the session content. N/A High Risk Behaviors tendencies. Intervention 1: Emotion-Focused Therapy will be conducted in a group format over eight weekly, 60-minute sessions.
