Introduction: Because in stressful situations, how to regulate emotion is an important and necessary issue. Therefore, the present study aimed to mediate the role of creative self-efficacy in the relationship between social intelligence and cognitive emotion self-regulation.Method: The research was applied in terms of purpose and terms of data analysis method, it was a correlation. The statistical population of the study included all 9040 female high school students in Sari. The sample size was selected by 370 people using a multi-stage cluster random sampling method based on Krejcie and Morgan's table. Data were collected using the standard Begetto (2006) Creative Self-Efficacy Questionnaire, Silvera, et al.'s (2001) Social Intelligence Questionnaire, and Garnowski & Craig's (2007) Cognitive Emotion Self-Regulation. Spearman correlation coefficient and structural equation model with spss and pls software were used to analyze the data.Results: The results showed that social intelligence, directly and indirectly, affects students' cognitive self-regulation of positive emotions (Adaptive strategies) and negative (maladaptive strategies) students through the mediating variable of creative self-efficacy (P <0.01).Conclusion: According to the research findings, social intelligence as successful interaction skills and creative self-efficacy as a belief in their capabilities and abilities play an important role in emotion regulation. Therefore, training courses must be conducted to improve the ability to identify feelings and emotions.
