The objective of the current study was to develop a model for predicting hope in university students that takes into account the time perspective and attachment patterns, with psychological resilience serving as a mediator. The research method was descriptive-correlational and pathway analysis. The study’s statistical population comprised all undergraduate students at non-state universities in Tehran during the academic year 2019-2020. 480 students (312 females and 168 males) were selected through the clustered random sampling method to comprise the statistical sample. Adult Attachment Styles (AAS), Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (ZTPI), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), and Adult Domain-Specific Hope Scale (DSHS) comprised the questionnaires that were implemented. The data analysis was conducted through pathway analysis via SPSS and AMOS version 23. The findings indicated that students' hope is significantly correlated with their psychological resilience, time perspective, and secure, avoidant, and ambivalent attachment styles (p<0.01). Moreover, secure, avoidant and ambivalent attachment styles, time perspective and psychological resilience have significant direct effect on the students’ hope (p<0.01). Furthermore, the results of the Bootstrap analysis indicated that psychological resilience plays a substantial mediating role in the relationship between attachment styles and time perspective (p<0.01). The model finally achieved a satisfactory fit. Taking the significant mediation role of psychological resilience, it is necessary for the therapists and consultants to increase the students’ hope through training psychological resilience.

The purpose of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of the Zen technique on alpha waves in elderly residents of the Kahrizak Nursing Home. This was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design and both experimental and control groups. The research population consisted of all elderly residents of the Kahrizak Nursing Home in Tehran in 2023. From this population, 42 individuals (20 men and 22 women) were selected through convenience sampling, and after matching based on age, gender, and cognitive status, they were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups (21 in each group). The tools used in this study were the MoCA questionnaire for detecting mild cognitive impairment and an electroencephalograph (EEG) device. Initially, brain waves of both groups were recorded using a 19-electrode system with a Sienna 40-channel EEG device. Then, the experimental group received 20 sessions of Zen technique training, and EEG data were recorded again for both groups. Analysis was performed on the frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital, and central electrodes using the EEGLAB toolbox in MATLAB software. The power of alpha waves was calculated using analysis of covariance in SPSS 26 software (P < 0.05). The results indicated that the alpha wave power in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). The dependent variables of temporal waves [F(1, 35) = 18.915, p < .001], occipital waves [F(1, 35) = 6.835, p < .001], and central waves [F(1, 35) = 6.674, p < .001] were significant, with eta-squared values showing that approximately 35% of the variance in temporal waves, 16% in occipital waves, and nearly 16% in central waves in the experimental group could be explained by the impact of Zen technique training. However, this training method did not affect the frontal and parietal scores in the posttest compared to the control group.

In this research, the "psychometric Properties of the fifth version of Wechsler's intelligence scales (WISC-V) for children in students with attention deficit-hyperactivity/impulsivity" have been discussed and the main question of the research is whether the fifth version of the scale Does the Wechsler IQ of children have desirable psychometric properties in students with attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder/impulsivity?

The measurement Instrument is the fifth version of Wechsler's intelligence scales for children, which has good validity and reliability. To check the reliability coefficients, two methods of Cronbach's alpha and two halves were used to check the internal consistency and the test-retest method was used to calculate the stability coefficient. Also, the orthogonal hierarchical factor analysis method was used to check the construct validity and the Pearson moment correlation coefficient method was used to check the relationship between the Wechsler IQ scale and the Stanford-Binet IQ scale to calculate the simultaneous criterion validity. The findings of the research showed that the fifth version of the Wechsler intelligence scales for children for students with attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder/impulsivity has Optimal validity and reliability, and it can be used for the clinical group of students with deficits. Attention - hyperactivity/impulsivity that is in the domain of exceptional people, use it.

The present study was conducted to determine the mediating role of mental pain in the relationship between integrative self-knowledge and self-injurious behaviors in adolescents. The current descriptive-correlation research was of structural equation modeling type. The statistical population of this research included all students of the second secondary level in Tehran in the second semester of the academic year 2023. 419 people participated in this study using the available method and were administered the Orbach and Mikulincer Mental Pain Scale (OMMP; Orbach et al., 2003), the Integrative Self-Knowledge Scale (ISKS; Ghorbani et al., 2008) and the Inventory of Statements About Self-Injury (ISAS; Klonsky & Glenn, 2009) responded. Data analysis was done by structural equation modeling method. The results showed that the proposed model is a good fit. The results showed that the direct effect of integrative self-knowledge on self-injurious behaviors was negatively significant; On the other hand, mental pain had a positive direct effect on self-injurious behaviors. Also, the results showed that integrative self-knowledge had a negative direct effect on mental pain (P<0.05). The results of the bootstrap test showed that mental pain had a significant mediating role between integrative self-knowledge and self-injurious behaviors (P<0.05). The results of this study indicate that integrative self-knowledge affects self-injurious behaviors directly and through the mediation of mental pain.

The lifestyle and dietary restrictions of kidney patients seriously affect their physical and mental functions, work ability and even their social relationships. The purpose of the present study was comparison of health-promoting lifestyle and psycho-social adaptation in patients undergoing hemodialysis, with kidney stones and healthy people.

Methods: 

The present research method is descriptive-comparative. The statistical population included all adult men and women under hemodialysis treatment, patients with kidney stones and healthy people living in Tehran. A sample of 2 groups, each group consisting of 60 people (120 people) of patients treated with hemodialysis and patients with kidney stones referred to Iranshahr Hospital located in Tehran in the summer and fall of 2023 and a healthy group including 60 people that according to their statements, they were free of kidney diseases and were selected to visit Iranshahr Hospital for outpatient treatment or as a patient's companion. Finally, 180 people were selected by convience sampling method. Demographic questionnaire, "Health-Promoting Life Style Profile II" and "Psychosocial Adjustment to Illness Scale" were used to collect data. For the validity of the instruments, previous researches were used and reliability was calculated using the internal consistency method by calculating Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Data analysis was done in SPSS. 26.

The results of one-way analysis of variance and Tukey's test showed that there is a statistically significant difference between the health-promoting lifestyle in healthy people and patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment. So that the score of health-promoting lifestyle in healthy people is different by 16 points (t=15.91, P=0.001) from patients treated with hemodialysis. But the results did not show any significant difference between other groups in terms of health-promoting lifestyle. Also, there was a statistically significant difference between the psycho-social adjustment to the disease of healthy people and patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment and patients with kidney stones, and the score of psycho-social adjustment to the disease of healthy people was about 23 points (t=22/88, P=0/001). It is different compared to patients treated with hemodialysis and also significant difference was seen between other groups.

Healthy people have a better health-promoting lifestyle than patients treated with hemodialysis, and also healthy people have better psycho-social adjustment to the disease than patients treated with hemodialysis and patients with kidney stones. Therefore, therapists and counselors are suggested to pay more attention to increasing psycho-social adjustment to the disease and improving the lifestyle of this group of patients, and if necessary, consider training or treatment courses for these patients.

Chronic pain results from a complex interaction of biological, psychological and social factors that causes the experience of pain. The purpose of this research was to identify the structural model of chronic pain based on mindfulness, social support and life events with the mediating role of psychological distress and pain catastrophizing.

This was a descriptive-correlational study with structural equation modeling. The study population included all patients suffering from chronic pain with musculoskeletal and rheumatoid arthritis related pain, which had referred to Tehran medical centers for follow-up in 2023. A total of 496 people were selected using the convenience sampling method. They completed the McGill Pain Questionnaire (1957), the Bauer Five Factor Mindfulness Questionnaire (2006), the Perceived Social Support of Zimmet et al. (1988), the Pickel's Stressful Life Events (1971), the Leviband's Depression, Anxiety and Stress Questionnaire (1995) and the Pain Catastrophizing Scale of Sullivan et al. (1995). Research data were analyzed using SPSS-26 and AMOS-23 softwares using Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling.

The results of the structural equation model indicated that this model fits the experimental data well. The direct effects of the standard pathway mindfulness coefficient and the amount of stressors on chronic pain were significant (p<0.01) and the direct effects of social support and the number of stressors for chronic pain was insignificant. Additionally, the effects of standard indirect path coefficients for mindfulness, social support and the number and the amount of stressors with the mediating role of psychological distress and pain catastrophizing on chronic pain was significant (p<0.01).

Mindfulness, social support and life events play an important role in explaining chronic pain through the mediation of psychological distress and pain catastrophizing. Therefore, the findings of this study can be used in more detailed planning of psychotherpeutic interventions for patients with chronic pain.

Emotional and cognitive states directly affect the neural mechanisms of chronic pain, And increasing pain negatively affects the emotional and cognitive states of a person. Despite the growing research evidence of the effects of psychological variables such as mindfulness, social support, stress and pain catastrophizing on the phenomenon of chronic pain, the general effects of these variables have been less investigated in the form of comprehensive causal model.

The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the structural model of chronic pain based on mindfulness, social support and life events with the Mediating of pain catastrophizing.

The method of the present study was descriptive-correlation type of structural equation modeling. The statistical population of the study included all male and female patients with chronic pain who were treated for follow-up treatment in 2022, they had referred to pain clinics, pain specialists, neurologists, physiotherapists, and health centers in Tehran with problems related to musculoskeletal pain and rheumatoid arthritis, of which 496 people were selected using the available sampling method. Data collection tools include the Mc Gill Pain Questionnaire (Melzack, 1975), the Five Factor Mindfulness Questionnaire (Baer et al., 2006), the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support by Zimet et al. (1988), Scale of Life stressful Events‐Paykel (Paykel et al., 1971) and Pain Catastrophizing Scale (Sullivan et al., 1995). Data analysis was done by structural equation modeling method and using SPSS-23 and AMOS-23 software.

The results of modeling of structural equations indicated a good fit of the model with experimental data. The effect of the coefficient of the direct standard path of mindfulness on the experience of chronic pain was significant and the indirect path of mindfulness on the experience of chronic pain with the mediating role of pain catastrophizing was significant (P< 0.05). The effect of direct and indirect standard path coefficient of social support with mediating role of pain catastrophizing on chronic pain experience was not significant (P> 0.05). The direct and indirect path of the number of stressful factors on the experience of chronic pain was also insignificant (P> 0.05). However, the standard direct and indirect path of the amount of stressful factors on the experience of chronic pain with the mediating role of catastrophizing was also significant (P< 0.05).

According to the obtained results, it seems that mindfulness, social support and life events play an important role in explaining chronic pain by mediating pain catastrophizing. Considering that these variables have a significant contribution in predicting the pain of chronic pain patients, Therefore, mental health professionals can use these factors to improve the mental health of people with chronic pain.

It is essential to pay attention to the emotional, psychological and social processes of students. according to this the present study was conducted to offer a model of predicting hope according to the social support and meaning in life with the mediation role of Self-esteem in the university students.

The research method was descriptive-correlational and pathway analysis. The statistical population of the study included all undergraduate students at non-state universities in the city of Tehran in academic year 2019-20. The statistical sample included 480 students who were selected through clustered random sampling method. The applied questionnaires included Social Support Questionnaire (SSQ) (Zimet, et.al. 1988), Meaning in Life Questionnaire (MLQ) (Steger, Frazier, 2006); Self-esteem Questionnaire (SEQ) (Rosenberg, 1979) and Hope Questionnaire (HQ) (Sympson, 1999). The data analysis was conducted through pathway analysis via SPSS and AMOS version 23.

The results showed that social support, meaning in life and Self-esteem have significant relationship with hope in the students (p<0.01). Moreover, social support, meaning in life and Self-esteem have significant direct effect on the students’ hope (p<0.01). Furthermore, Bootstrap results showed that the Self-esteem has significant medication role in the relationship between social support and meaning in life (p<0.01). Finally the model enjoyed a suitable fitness.

Considering the meaningful mediating role of self-esteem, it is necessary for therapists and counselors to improve the self-esteem of students by using appropriate training, so as to increase their hope.

In proportion to the expansion of various skills in life, learning and education of any society needs quantitative and qualitative improvement. The rapid development of technology has caused a change in the way of learning, and in order to increase learning and acquire knowledge, different methods of teaching and training are used to improve people's knowledge, among these methods is the use of standard concept maps. In the current research, the use of the concept map teaching method compiled with the network process analysis method and the lecture method on the students' learning skills in the topic of chemical atom structure was investigated.

The present study was a mixed-methods (exploratory-explanatory) research and was conducted in two steps. The first step was done with a qualitative research method of the Delphi type. The statistical population consisted of experts and professors in chemistry education in 2020-2021, and 30 individuals were selected using purposive sampling. The tools used in this step were semi-structured interviews and a researcher-made pairwise comparison questionnaire.The data were analyzed using the network process analysis method (a multicriteria decision-making method) and the Super Decisions software.In the second step, a quasi-experimental quantitative research method was used with a pre-test, post-test and follow-up plan with two groups (one experimental group and one control group).The statistical population consisted of all eighth-grade high school students in the academic year 2021-2022. A sample of 30 students was selected using convenience sampling and divided into two groups of 15. The experimental group received education using concept maps developed based on ANP, and the control group was taught using the lecture method. The data collection tool was a learning skills questionnaire, and to assess the validity of the tool, the opinions of experts and professors were used. The reliability of the research tool was calculated to be 0.96 using the test-retest method, and the data were analyzed using repeated measures analysis and SPSS (24.00) software.

The findings of the first step showed that mathematics layers with a weighted average of 0.652, physics 0.235, and chemistry 0.113 had the greatest impact, respectively, and the highest and lowest weighted averages in the physics layer were the concept of matter and the concept of electron movement in Certain circuits (Bohr) was 0.011. In the mathematical layer, the concept of main numbers and its four main operations was 0.291, and the concept of sine waves and wave concept was 0.014. In the chemistry layer, the concept of subatomic particles was 0.407 and the concept of using electron arrangement was 0.010. And the results of the statistical analysis in the second step, for hypotheses at a significant level (0.05), indicated a significant and more stable effect of training with the concept map method on learning skills.

Considering the greater impact of education with the standard concept map method and the importance of prerequisites, it is possible to rank educational concepts using the network process analysis method and use it in teaching and learning. Also, the standard conceptual map can be considered as a suitable tool and approach to achieve learning.

Extramarital affairs have devastating impacts on married couples leading to separation and divorce. The purpose of the present study is to formulate the model of extramarital relationships in accordance with early maladaptive schemas and marital intimacy mediated by cognitive flexibility among men.

In this descriptive correlated research, two hundred and fifty men with extramarital affairs visiting psychological counseling center in Tehran during first half of 1400 A.H, are selected by convenience sampling method. The data is collected from the questionnaires of Young’s Schema Therapy (1998), Yeniceri and Kokdemir’s Infidelity (2006), Walker and Thompson’s Intimacy and Intergenerational aid and contact among mothers and daughters (2007), Denis and Vander Wal’s the Cognitive Flexibility and Inventory (2010). The obtained data was analyzed by utilizing structural equation modeling method in statistical software of AMOS 24 and SPSS 27.

The assumed research model meets the requirements of experimental data (RMSEA=0/056). Direct coefficient path between early maladaptive schemas (B= 0/137) and marital intimacy (B= 0/287) was in significant model with extramarital relationships (P<0/05). Direct coefficient path among early maladaptive schemas (B=0/21) and marital intimacy (B=0/47) was significant with cognitive flexibility (P<0/05). In addition, indirect coefficient path of maladaptive schemas in extramarital affairs was gained through significant flexibility while no significant indirect coefficient path was observed between marital intimacy and extramarital affairs via flexibility (P>0/05).

Early maladaptive schemas and marital intimacy were related to extramarital affairs through mediated variable of cognitive flexibility. Thus, extramarital relationships can be reduced via decreasing early maladaptive schemas and increasing both marital intimacy and cognitive flexibility.

Depression is one of the most common psychiatric disorders a high percentage of patients with depression (two-thirds of them) have prominent anxiety symptoms. Hence, the existence of a natural, simple, accessible, and affordable treatment method is required by every person suffering from depression. The purpose of the study is to compare the effectiveness of Ayurveda knowledge as a complementary medicine approved by the World Health Organization (WHO), with cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and the combination of the two, on reducing anxiety in depressed women.

The research was a semi-experimental pre-test-post-test type with a control group. The statistical population includes 40 women aged 45-25 who were diagnosed with moderate depression by a psychiatrist and took the Beck depression test. They volunteered to participate in this research by filling and signing the informed consent form. Participants were placed in four groups of 10 people with a simple random allocation method, underwent cognitive-behavioral therapy, Ayurveda and combination of the two for 10 weeks based on the protocols. Data collection tools were Beck depression inventory (BDI-II) (1996) & Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) (1983). The data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA with repeated measures.

The intergroup effect test was significant in state anxiety (P=0.003) and trait anxiety (P<0.001). The partial ETA value indicated that approximately 31% of the variation in state anxiety and 46% in trait anxiety could be explained by the treatment groups. The results of comparing the averages between the groups with Tukey's test showed that there was a significant difference in trait anxiety between cognitive-behavioral therapy and Ayurvedic therapy as well as combined therapy (1.53 ± 7.4) (P<0.001). ), also there was a significant difference in state anxiety between cognitive-behavioral therapy and Ayurvedic treatment 1.88 ± 5.43 and between cognitive-behavioral therapy and combined therapy 1.88 ± 7.133 (p=0.003). There was no significant difference between the experimental group of Ayurveda and combined treatment. (P = 1.00)

According to the obtained results, the combination of cognitive behavioral therapy and Ayurveda can have a better and more stable effect in reducing the anxiety of depressed women.

Given the considerable increase in the prevalence of obesity/overweight in Iran especially in school age children, it is important to identify the causes of childhood obesity. The aim of this study is to develop a model of childhood obesity based on maternal body mass index and parenting stress mediated by maternal feeding styles.

The statistical sample consisted of 460 students aged 7 to 11 from schools of Tehran with their mothers. Subjects were selected using cluster sampling method. After measuring the body mass index of children and their mothers, Parenting Stress Index- Short Form and Parental Feeding Style Questionnaire were completed by mothers. Data were analyzed by Amos software with using Structural Equation Method.

The model generally had a good fit. Based on the results of path analysis of maternal body mass index, parenting stress, emotional feeding, instrumental feeding, prompting/encouragement to eat, and controlling feeding directly predict the child's body mass index. The results showed that maternal body mass index and parenting stress also indirectly predict the child's body mass index through all of the maternal feeding styles subscales such as Emotional, Instrumental, Control and Encouragement feeding style.

The findings of this study showed that these relationships can predict childhood obesity as a model,  and can lead to useful insights into interventions in the first level of prevention.

Insomnia is one of the most common sleep disorders in children. this study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive-behavior multicomponent Therapy, named the KiSS program (Kinder mit Schafstörungen Programm) on insomnia and fatigue in children. This research method was quasi-experimental with a pre-test -post-test, and follow-up design in experimental and control groups. In order to perform this study among children of 8 to 10 years with insomnia referring to Medical & Psychology Clinic of Shokoufeh in, Tehran, Iran, within July to October 2021, 40 children were selected by the convenience sampling method based on inclusion criteria and were assigned randomly into experimental and control groups (each group including 20 children).The personal information questionnaire, Sleep Disturbance Scale for children (SDSC), Multidimensional Fatigue Scale (MFS) and Child Symptoms Inventory-4 (CSI-4) were used to collect data. The KiSS treatment was applied in the experimental group and cartoon watching in the control group. Due to the decrease in the number of subjects in the implementation phase, the number of children in each group was reduced to 15. The data were analyzed with SPSS software (version 22) using descriptive statistical indicators including mean and standard deviation and inferential statistics indicators including mixed-design ANOVA method. Considering to the promising results of KiSS multicomponent therapy, this treatment can be used as one of the intervention methods for improvement of insomnia and fatigue caused by it in children aged 8 to 10 years.

This research was conducted with the aim of providing a structural model of wisdom based on successful intelligence and philosophical mindset with the mediation of self-esteem in middle managers.

The cross-sectional research method is correlational and in order to respond to the research hypotheses, structural equation modeling analysis was used. The statistical population of this research was made up of all the middle level managers of private banks and Mahan Airlines in Tehran in first half 1400, from among them, 300 people were selected by staged cluster sampling method. In this research, the tools of wisdom (Ardelt, 2003), successful intelligence (Sternberg, 2005), philosophical mindset (SmithSultani, 1375), and self-esteem (Rosenberg, 1965) were used, all of which are valid and had acceptable reliability. In order to analyze the data, SPSS-V19 and Lisrel-V8.8 software were used. The findings of the research showed that the model has a good fit. The results showed that successful intelligence had a direct effect on wisdom. In connection with the existence of an indirect effect of successful intelligence on the wisdom of middle managers through self-esteem, it is confirmed with 95% confidence .

The results showed that philosophical mindset had a direct effect on wisdom. In connection with the existence of an indirect effect of philosophical mindset on the wisdom of middle managers through self-esteem, it is confirmed with 95% confidence.

Therefore, paying attention to the mentioned variables helps senior managers and researchers in choosing managers and designing more suitable for cultivating wisdom.

Premenstrual syndrome is one of the most common problems in women and causes some physical and psychological changes in women. This study was conducted to examine the structural pattern of cognitive emotion regulation based on sleep quality with the mediating role of marital satisfaction in women with premenstrual syndrome.

The method of the present study was correlational using structural equation modeling. The statistical population included all women diagnosed with premenstrual syndrome in 1398 and 1399 in Kermanshah, of which 380 people who were referred to the family planning clinic in Kermanshah were selected by convenience sampling method. The research instruments included the emotional regulation questionnaire (Garnefsky et al., 2001), Marital Satisfaction Questionnaire (Enrich), and the sleep quality index (Pittsburgh, 1989). The data were analyzed by the Spearman correlation method using SPSS-21 and LISREL software.

This study indicates the existence of a significant direct relationship between cognitive-emotional regulation strategies and overall sleep quality in women with PMS and also the quality of sleep directly and indirectly through marital satisfaction can be a good predictor for cognitive regulation of emotion in women with premenstrual syndrome.

It can be said that sleep quality and marital life satisfaction can play an important role in the cognitive regulation of emotion in women with premenstrual syndrome.

Adolescent delinquency is associated with a set of abnormal behavioral patterns and poor emotional self-regulation skills, including self-injurious behaviors and experiences of anger and aggression. Studies show that the components of compassion therapy in form of group therapy are effective on hope, life satisfaction and mood disorders of delinquent adolescents and also improve positive emotional cognitive regulation and increase mindfulness skills, and reduce the experience of shame and guilt in clients. Anxiety disorders, depression, and increased anxiety tolerance and decreased emotion regulation have been negative, but there is a research gap in the application of this treatment to delinquent adolescents in the target population.

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of compassion-focused therapy on aggression, self-harm behaviors, and emotional self-regulation in juvenile delinquents of the Correction and Rehabilitation Center in Tehran.

The method of this quasi-experimental study was a pretest-posttest plan with a one-month follow-up. The statistical population of study included all clients residing in Tehran’s Correction and Rehabilitation Center in 2019; 13 people were selected from them as the sample of this research. Klonsky & Glenn inventory of statements about self-injury (ISAS), Hoffman &Kashdan emotional self-regulation questionnaire and Bass & Perry aggression questionnaire were used in pre-test, post-test, and follow-up steps; compassion-focused training program was conducted in twelve 90-minute sessions (one session per week). To evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention and to control the effect of pretest, a complex analysis of variance with repeated measures was used.

The results showed that compassion-focused therapy consistently led to significant effect in reducing the symptoms of aggression and self-harm behaviors (p<0/05) and this effectiveness has been consistently continued in follow up phase. Regarding the effectiveness of compassion-based therapy on the components of emotional self-regulation, the results showed that the implementation of the independent variable improved adaptation and tolerance (p <0.05) and this effectiveness was persistent in the follow-up phase.

It can be concluded that compassion-focused therapy is effective in reducing self-harm behaviors, aggression, and improving emotional regulation in delinquent adolescents. These results can be used in planning for preventing harmful behaviors in adolescents and reducing these behaviors, especially in delinquent adolescents.
