Abstract

The current research aims at measuring generalized expectancies of negative mood regulation and frontal systems behavior ( apathy, disinhibition, executive dysfunction ). It also aims at identifying the correlational relation between generalized expectancies of negative mood behavior and frontal systems behavior. The researchers translated Catanzaro & Mearns' generalized expectancies of (NMR-S) (1999) and Grace & Malloy's scale of FrSBe (2001) . The validity and reliability of both scales have been computed. The two scales have been applied on sample of university students. The results showed that students have high expectancies of negative mood regulation and they don't have apathy, disinhibition, executive dysfunction behaviors. The results indicated that there is a negative relation between generalized expectancies of negative mood regulation and frontal systems behavior.
