AbstractBackground: Current strategies used to control and manage children's emotions often overlook the crucial role of sadness management in their overall well-being. Objectives: This study investigated the relationships between paternal involvement in parenting and maternal emotion regulation with sadness management in students with specific learning disabilities (SpLDs). Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among fourth- and fifth-grade boys and girls with SpLDs and their mothers in Karaj, Alborz Province, Iran, during the 2021–22 academic year. A multistage cluster sampling method was employed to select 252 participants. Data were collected using the Children's Sadness Management Scale (CSMS), the Alabama Parenting Questionnaire (APQ), and the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ). Data analysis was performed using Pearson correlation and simultaneous regression in SPSS-27 software. Results: Paternal involvement was positively correlated with children's sadness management (r = 0.47). Conversely, maternal maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation was negatively correlated with children's sadness management (r = -0.35). Additionally, a positive correlation was found between maternal adaptive cognitive emotion regulation and children's sadness management (r = 0.40). Paternal involvement and maternal cognitive emotion regulation together explained 52% of the variance in children's sadness management. Conclusions: Paternal involvement in parenting and maternal cognitive emotion regulation play a key role in improving sadness management in children with SpLDs. These findings underscore the importance of promoting healthy parenting practices that involve both paternal participation and effective maternal emotion regulation strategies to support children's ability to manage sadness.en
