Considering that the of love trauma symptoms can bring a series of psychological harms, the present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effectiveness of cognitive emotion regulation training on reducing the symptoms of psychological trauma in female students suffering from love trauma..

The research method was experimental with pre-test-post-test, and with the control group. The statistical population consisted of all female undergraduate students with love trauma residing in the dormitory of Mohaghegh Ardabili University in the academic year 2018-2019 (Approximately 60 individuals) that purposive sampling method was used to select a sample of 34 participants (17 participants in each group). Also, to determine the target sample of the Love Trauma Syndrome Inventory (LTSI-10), to implement the intervention of the cognitive emotion regulation program based on the Gross model, and to measure the dependent variable from the Symptoms Check-List (SCL-90-R). Data analysis was conducted using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA).

The effect of group membership indicates a significant impact of the intervention on the total index of psychological harm symptoms (p<0.01) and its components: obsessive-compulsive (p<0.01), sensitivity in interpersonal relationships (p<0.01), hostility (p<0.01), phobia (p<0.05), and psychosis (p<0.05). However, this intervention had no significant effect on somatization, depression, anxiety and paranoia (p>0.05).

The implementation of cognitive regulation of emotions based on the Gross model in a group of individuals with love trauma syndrome can lead to a more rapid improvement in those who are more traumatized individuals.

Addiction is a chronic relapsing mental disorder defined by physical and psychological dependence on substances. The present study was conducted with the aim of modeling the structural relationships between dysfunctional personality beliefs and the dependence intensity in substance dependent people with the mediation of difficulty in emotion regulation.

The intended research was applied in terms of purpose and among correlational research. The statistical population included all drug addicts who referred to addiction treatment camps in Ardabil in 2021. Two hundred addicted people completed the questionnaires of dependency intensity, emotion dysregulation, and dysfunctional personality beliefs using available sampling method. Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling were used to analyze the data.

The results of the correlation coefficients showed that the severity of substance dependence has a positive and significant relationship with ineffective personality beliefs (r=0.44, p=0.001) and difficulty in regulating emotions (r=0.49, p=0.001). Also, difficulty in regulating emotions has a positive and significant relationship with dysfunctional personality beliefs (r=0.25, p=0.001). The model had a good fit based on the goodness of fit indices. Dysfunctional personality beliefs had an effect on dependency severity both directly and indirectly through the mediation of difficulty in emotion regulation.

From a practical point of view, it is necessary to provide regular training programs for substance dependent people using the principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy to determine the patients’ dysfunctional beliefs about addiction, and ultimately helping the patients to create more effective beliefs and behaviors, and cadaptive emotion regulation strategies.

This study aimed to provide a causal model of personality traits and meaning in life with post-traumatic growth, with a mediating role of psychological resilience in veterans.

The method of this research is descriptive-correlational. Data analysis is done through path analysis and structural equations. The statistical population of the study was all veterans under the support of the Sabzevar Martyr Foundation in 2021 and 320 subjects were selected as a sample. To collect data, the post-traumatic growth inventory, the brief HEXACO inventory, the meaning in life questionnaire, and the Connor-Davidson resilience scale were used. All data analyzes were performed by SPSS 24 and LISREL 8.8 software.

The proposed model had a good fit (GFI: 0.86, CFI: 0.92).  Also, personality traits and meaning in life, directly and indirectly, affected post-traumatic growth.

This model can be a good model for identifying the factors involved in the post-traumatic growth of veterans and the results of this study can be used for planning to increase post-traumatic growth.

Relapse of substance use with negative physical and psychosocial consequences has become a public health concern worldwide. The present study aimed to model the relapse of substance use based on risky decision making, attentional bias, and reward sensitivity with the mediating role of craving.

In this descriptive study, the statistical population included all men with substance use disorder (methamphetamine use) who were quitting in 2019 and had referred to addiction treatment camps in Ardabil. A sample of 172 of these individuals was selected by convenience sampling method and answered the questionnaires of relapse prediction, reward sensitivity, short scale craving, balloon analogue risk task (BART), and Dot-Probe test. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling.

The results showed that the path coefficients of the risky decision making to craving (β=0.21, p=0.002) and relapse (β=0.30, p=0.001), attentional bias to craving (β=0.29, p=0.004), reward sensitivity to craving (β=0.15, p=0.041), and relapse (β=0.21, p=0.006) are significant in the model under review. But the path coefficients of attentional bias to relapse was not significant (β=0.14, p=113). Craving also mediated the relationship between risky decision-making, attentional bias, and reward sensitivity.

According to the results, risky decision making, attentional bias, reward sensitivity, and mediating role of craving can be used to predict the relapse of substance use. Therefore, it is suggested that addiction specialists use the results of the present study in their treatment programs and counseling.

Sensitivity to interpersonal interactions and marital conflicts plays an important role in the tendency of children to become addicted to the Internet. The aim of this study was to model Internet addiction based on interpersonal sensitivity and parents’ marital conflict with the mediating role of effortful control in students.

The present research method is descriptive. The statistical population was all first and second year high school students in Ardabil in 2020. A sample of 239 people from this population was selected by available sampling method and answered the questionnaires of Internet addiction, Effortful Control, Interpersonal Sensitivity and Parents’ Marital Conflict. Data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling.

The results showed that Internet addiction was positively correlated with the total score of interpersonal sensitivity (r=0.57, p<0.001) and parents’ marital conflict (r=0.36, p<0.001) and had a negative correlation with effortful control (r=-0.44, p<0.001). Effortful control was also negatively related to the total score of interpersonal sensitivity (r=-0.21, p<0.001) and parents’ marital conflict (r=-0.17, p<0.001). Model fit indices also confirmed the effect of interpersonal sensitivity and parents’ marital conflict on Internet addiction with the mediating role of effortful control.

The results of this research can be used in creating applications and workshops for adolescents who are addicted to the Internet as well as in the prevention of Internet addiction.

The aims of this study was to determine the amount the prevalence of Traumatic bereavement and its related factors in high school students in Iranshahr. The research design was descriptive and cross-sectional. The statistical population of the present study included all the bereaved senior high school female students of Iranshahr City in the school year of  2018-2019 (N=500). 500 students were selected by multistage cluster sampling method and responded to the Hogan Grief Reaction Checklist (HGRC). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Chi-square, Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests using SPSS software. The findings showed that out of 500 students, 106 people (21.2%) scores above the cut-off score. The results of the Chi-square test showed that the prevalence of bereavement in higher education students is higher. In addition, the prevalence of bereavement is higher in those who lost their father. The results of Kolmogorov-Smirnov test showed that there is a significant difference between the duration of death of the two groups of bereavement and non- bereavement  (P<0/001). Given that Traumatic bereavement can lead to serious problems in different areas, A careful understanding of prevalence can help to the mental health professionals to help the bereaved people recover from the greif.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of parenting styles and rejection sensitivity in predicting impulsivity among high school students. The method of study was correlational and the sample consisted of 154 high school students of Kamyaran city selected by cluster sampling in 2015. To collect data, the questionnaires of the perceived parenting style, the rejection sensitivity  and the impulsivity were used and the collected data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis. The results indicated that impulsivity has positive correlation with authoritarian parenting styles, permissive parenting style and the rejection sensitivity, but it has negative correlation whit authoritative parenting style (p < 0.001). The results also showed that parenting styles can predict the children's impulsivity.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of mindfulness and life expectancy in predicting dimensions of time perspective in students.

The research method is descriptive-correlational and its statistical population is all students of Mohaghegh Ardebil University. 384 of them were selected by multistage cluster sampling. Then they responded to Zimbardo's time perspective, Schneider's hope, and Brown and Ryan's mindfulness. Data were analyzed using multiple regression and Pearson correlation tests.

Life expectancy is a part of the variance of the time perspective presenthedonisticand negative Past; and mindfulness significantly explaines some of the variance of the negative Past present-fatalist. Mindfulness and life expectancy also partly explain the variance of the future perspective.

The results indicated that mindfulness and life expectancy can predict students' perspective. Therefore, teaching time perspective among students in different fields seems essential.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate psychometric properties of Cyber-Bullying/Victimization Experiences Questionnaire in students.

  Cancer is a global problem and the third cause of death among Iranian people. Considering the chronicity of cancer, adjustment to it is one of the effective factors on the outcomes of the treatment. In this study, the role of anger and health locus of control predicting adjustment in cancer patients is examined. This work is a descriptive - correlational study. All the cancer patients referred to Imam Reza and Ghazi Tabatabaei hospitals for medical care at Tabriz, Iranin Summer and Fall 2016 comprised the statistical population of this study. The sample included 100 patients which had been selected via purposive sampling method. They were asked to respond to questionnaires of demographic information, the Mini-Mental Adjustment to Cancer, the Multidimensiinal Inventory and the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control (MHLC) scale. The collected data were analyzed by SPSS20 using tests of Pearson correlation and multivariate regression. Pearson correlation test indicated that the adjustment to cancer had a negative correlation with the anger arousal (r= -0.51; P<0.001), the rage contentious situations (r= -0.24; P<0.05), the hostile attitude (r= -0.41; P<0.001) and anger in (r = -0.43; P<0.001) and positive correlation with the internal locus of control (r= 0.25; P<0.05). The results of regression analysis revealed that 34% of the total variance of adjustment to cancer was explained by anger including anger arousal and anger in, and 10% of it was explained by internal locus of control. The results indicated that the anger including anger arousal and anger in plays a considerable role in adjustment to cancer. According to the findings, health locus of control does not have a considerable role in predicting adjustment to cancer.

This study aims to compare stress reactivity, coping and life styles in people with and without insomnia. Among a population of all patients with insomnia disorder who attended Psychology and Psychiatry clinics in the first semester of 2017 and were diagnosed with insomnia, 30 persons were selected through non-random sampling. On the other hand, other 30 persons were selected as a comparing group from the main population. The two groups were matched as much as possible on age, gender, education, and marital status. Data were collected using Insomnia Saverity Index (ISI), Perceived Stress Reactivity Scale (PSRS), Andler & Parker Coping Style Questionnaire, and Lifestyle Questionnaire (LSQ). Data were analyzed by means of multivariate analysis of variance. These findings show that, there is a significant difference between stress reactivity and its entire component in both groups. In other words, patients' group shows sever reaction to problem focused coping style, Emotion focused coping style and avoidance oriented coping style. This means that patients had higher stress reactivity than normal people. Predominant coping style in normal group were problem-focused and avoidance. In addition, prevailing coping style in patient group was emotion-focused. There was also a significant difference between patient and normal groups in terms of physical health, sports and fitness, disease prevention, mental health, spiritual health, social health drug avoidance and drug abuse and prevention of accidents. It can be concluded that the normal group have higher score in components of life style and their life style is better. However, in terms of weight control, nutrition and environmental health, no significant difference was found between two groups. It can also be concluded that patient group have high reaction to stress and mostly use emotion focused coping style and have low score in life style components. Since the pathophysiology of insomnia can be considered as a psychophysiologic hyperarousal status, higher Stress Reactivity with activating the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis can lead to increase insomnia. Emotion focused coping style by controlling emotional responses and physiological arousal to reduce stress, leads to arousal and insomnia. Lifestyle can also lead to insomnia through affecting the biological mechanisms.
