Objective: Stuttering is one of the most common speech disorders, and psychological research is essential for better understanding this disorder. The aim of this study was to compare emotional regulation, brain-behavioral systems, and cyberspace addiction in adolescents with and without stuttering. Method: The research design was a causal comparative type. The statistical population of the study was all adolescents referring to speech therapy centers in Gorgan in 2024. 80 adolescents (40 adolescents with stuttering and 40 other adolescents) were selected as samples using purposive sampling. The research instruments were Roger and Nashover's (1987) emotional control questionnaire, Carver and White's (1994) brain-behavioral systems, and Young's (1998) cyberspace addiction questionnaire. The data were analyzed with independent t-test and multivariate analysis of variance using SPSS version 24 software. Findings: The results showed that adolescents with stuttering had higher levels of emotional control, behavioral inhibition, and cyberspace addiction compared to other adolescents (P<0.05). Also, there was no significant difference in anger control between the two groups of adolescents with and without stuttering (P<0.05). Conclusion: Strengthening emotion regulation skills and the behavioral activation system of adolescents with stuttering reduces cyberspace addiction and interpersonal, social, and educational problems in these adolescents.
