The prevalence of Internalized and Externalized disorders in Adolescents is on of the serious threats to mental health in the world. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to investigate the causal model of The Internalized and Externalized disorders in Adolescents Based on Impulsivity with the Mediating Role of Adaptive and Maladaptive Cognitive Emotion Regulation Strategies. The statistical population of the research was made up of all male and female students of the second year of high school in Andimshek city, out of which 326 were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling method. were selected as samples. The tools used in this research included the youth self-report scale (Aschenbach and Rescorella, 2001), the impulsivity (Patton et al, 1995), and the Cognitive emotion regulation (Garnefski et al, 2001). To analyze the data, the method of structural equation with intermediary relation was used with Amos/18 software. The findings showed that for both indirect paths of impulsivity on internalized disorders through adaptive and maladaptive strategies of cognitive emotion regulation are not significant and reject (p>0/05). Also, the two indirect paths of impulsivity on externalized disorders adaptive and maladaptive strategies of cognitive emotion regulation are significant and confirmed (p<0/05). Based on the research findings, adaptive and maladaptive strategies of cognitive emotion regulation can play mediating role on relationship between impulsivity and internalized and externalized disorders of adolescents. The evaluated model has a favorable fit and is an important step toward identifying the effective factors in internalized and externalized disorders of adolescents.

The present research aimed to investigate the mediation role of family function in the relationship of personality dimensions of temperament and character with adolescents internalized and externalized problems. The current research method was correlational studies. The statistical population consisted of all male and female students of the second grade of high school in Andimshek city, Iran, during 2020-2021 academic year, out of which 326 people (165 girls and 161 boys) were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling method. To collect data, the youth self-report scale (Achenbach and Rescorella), the temperament and character inventory (Cloninger et al.), and the family assessment device (Epstein et al.) were used. Structural equation methods were used to analyze the data. The findings showed that the effect of temperament and character on internalized and externalized problems were confirmed through family function. It can be concluded that the family function played a mediation role in relationship to the temperament and character and internalized and externalized problems of adolescents, so it is recommended that psychologists, through training and interventions, improve family function by moderating personality dimensions to prevent, reduce, and improve the adolescents' internalized/externalized problems.
