The purpose of the present study was to compare the sense of coherence, self-compassion, and personal intelligence in students with and without Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED). This study is descriptive of the ex post facto kind. Out of 655 10th grade students, 150 were selected using the Intermittent Explosive Disorder Questionnaire and 150 without Intermittent Explosive Disorder Questionnaire. Data collection tools included the Sense of Cohesion Scale, the Short Form Self-Compassion Scale, and the Short Form of Personal Intelligence Questionnaire. Multivariate analysis of variance was used to analyze the data. According to the study's findings, students with IED had less cohesion than students without IED. Also, self-compassion was lower in students with impaired than non-impaired students. But personal intelligence was not different in students with IED. Students with IED have a lower sense of cohesion and compassion than students without IED, but personal intelligence is not different in both groups. The findings of this study can be used in the design of therapeutic interventions for intermittent explosive disorder.
