Emotion dysregulation and impulsivity are key psychological factors contributing to substance dependence and relapse. Therefore, it is of interest to assess and compare emotion regulation and impulsivity in patients with alcohol dependence syndrome and cannabis dependence syndrome. A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted with 64 male patients, using the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) and Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-30) for assessment. Results showed alcohol-dependent patients had poorer emotion regulation and higher impulsivity than cannabis-dependent patients. This research advances knowledge by highlighting the greater severity of emotion dysregulation and impulsivity in alcohol dependence, emphasizing the need for targeted psychological interventions.
