The aim of the present study was to investigate psychological damage aspects, including the Internalizing and externalizing problems based on the dimensions of behavioral activation system (BAS) and behavioral inhibition system (BIS). For this purpose, first, 270 persons of high school adolescent students (including boys and girls) of arak's schools were selected through a multistage cluster sampling. Then Brain / behavioral Systems questionnaire were distributed among them to be answered. After initial data analysis, 64 of them, based on final score distribution (Z Standard) in Brain / behavioral Systems questionnaire were chosen. Finally, in order to test the hypothesis of this study, participants were have studied to measure Internalizing and externalizing problems, Through Brain / behavioral, Multiple anxiety, depression, aggression and hyperactivity questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed using a Multivariate analysis of variance, ANOVA and post hoc tests. Results showed that are significant difference between the four personality groups in Internalizing and externalizing problems. So that, High sensitivity of behavioral inhibition system (HBIS) and Low sensitivity of behavioral inhibition system (LBIS) group, had the highest anger and aggression had the highest anger and aggression (p < 0/05). In symptoms of of social anxiety and physical symptoms of anxiety, high sensitivity Behavioral Activation System (HBAS), showed a significant difference with other groups (p < 0/05). The results showed that the more active and less active of brain/ behavioral systems can make adolescents vulnerable to psychological damages. The results showed that high and low levels of brain-behavioral systems sensitivity, leading to psychological disorders.

Obsessive compulsive disorder with chronic course, heterogeneity in symptoms and resistance to change as well as one of the most debilitating anxiety disorders, it’s necessary the need for increasingly to investigation of multidimensional nature of pathology, complex and transdiagnostic. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to investigate the contribution of transdiagnostic processes such as intolerance of uncertainty, cognitive fusion and distress intolerance to prediction of obsessive compulsive disorder in clinical population.

In correlation- cross sectional current study, 155 subjects with obsessive compulsive disorder referred to clinics Roozbeh Psychiatric Hospital, Ayatollah Taleghani Hospital (department of psychiatry) and Iran Psychiatric Hospital, selected by available sampling method and completed Obsessive Compulsive Inventory– Revised (OCI-R), Intolerance Uncertainty Scale (IUS), Distress Tolerance Scale (DTS) and Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire (CFQ). The gathered data was analyzed using Pearson correlation and multiple regression.

The results showed that intolerance of uncertainty, cognitive fusion and intolerance distress were correlated with the Obsessive compulsive disorder. Based on regression analysis, the variables are generally able to predict 69% of the variance in obsessive-compulsive disorder, among which, the role of predicted of cognitive fusion was higher than other variables.

According to the findings of this study, transdiagnostic constructs, such as intolerance of uncertainty, cognitive fusion and distress intolerance able to predict obsessive-compulsive disorder and this finding may be an important step in the advancement and development of transdiagnostic protocols be considered in the treatment of this disorder.

This study aimed at studying the relationship between time attitude and it’s sub-scales( present positive and negative, and future positive and negative)with happiness and psychological well- in students. It was a survey study which some questionnaires were used. The population was all of students in Bu Ali Sina University in 2012-2013 academic years. Research sample was 302 girls and boys students which were selected by using simple random sampling method. The instruments were Axsford Happiness Scale, Ryff’s 18-items Psychological Well-Being questionnaire and Mello and Worrell’s Time Attitude Scale. The data collected from the sample were put into SPSS- 18 and were analysed using statistical methods, correlation coefficient and multipleregression. The findings show that students have more future positive attitudes, and are more positive than negative, in general. Moreover, the results show that there are meaningful relationships between happiness and psychological well-being with time attitude students (p < 0.001).Also time attitude (Present Positive) can predict the changes related to the happiness and psychological well-being positively and significantly (p < 0.001) but Future Positive can predict only the changes related to the happiness(p < 0.001). Also both Present Negative and Future Negative can predicts the changes related to the happiness and psychological well-being negatively and significantly (p < 0.001) According to the findings, their student’s time attitude can predict moderately their happiness and psychological well-being. However, by increasing student’s positive time attitudes developing the level of their happiness and psychological well-being could be anticipated.

Object relations have A key role in psychoanalytic approach. Thus providing a persian version of a scale to assess object relations is helpful for elaborating empirical studies in this approach. the  aim  of  the present study is  to  investigate  validity,  reliability,  and factorial  structure  of  the Persian  version  of  the Bell object relations inventory (BORI).  convenience sampling is used  to  select 558 students  from the university of Tehran. First, by the method of  translation- back  translation, the  Persian  version  of  BORI is prepared. then BORI and defense mechanism questionnaire (DSQ) are completed by the sample. Data analysis  is  performed  by  using  of  Pearson correlation coefficients, parallel, and exploratory  factorial  analysis. Factorial  analyses show  four  factors named egocentricity, alienation, insecure attachment, and social incompetence. Cronbach Alpha  and split-half coefficients  are 66/0-77/0 and 60/0-77/0, respectively. significant correlations between object relations and defense mechanisms shows convergent and divergent validity of BORI. Accordingly, the reliability and construct validity of the Persian  version  of BORI are confirmed. Therefore, BORI for psychological research among Iranian samples is suitable.

Disgust was one of six basic emotions was introduced by Darwin. Disgust propensity and sensitivity scale is one of assessment tools of disgust. The aim was the survey of the factor structure and psychometric properties of this scale in Iranian population.

This study was Descriptive research. The sample was consisted of 391 students of Shahed University that were selected by cluster sampling method. The used tools were disgust propensity and sensitivity scale, disgust scale- revised and Padoa scale. The Exploratory and Confirmatory factor analysis was used for survey of factor structure of this scale. Also, convergent validity, test-retest reliability and internal consistency of the scale were evaluated.

The Exploratory factor analysis showed four factors: disgust emotion propensity, disgust emotion sensitivity, propensity for avoidance of disgusting stimuli, sensitivity for results of disgust. The Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed four factors and two factors version. Also, convergent validity and reliability of the scale were good.

 These findings showed this scale has a favorable factor structure, convergent validity and reliability. Therefore, it can be used in Iranian samples.

The objective of this study investigated factorial structure for the coping self-efficacy scale (CSE) among Iranian students.

This study was Descriptive research. The sample was consisted of 250 graduate student  of payam noor university, who were selected through selected randomly sampling. For data analysis, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, convergent validity, t-test for independent groups and Pearson correlation was used.

Confirmatory factor analysis of the three-factor structure of coping self-efficacy scale used in the sample gives support. The scale also showed a positive correlation with general self-efficacy scale. the Cronbach alpha as 0.63-0.91 of CSE factors was estimated and it was acceptable.

 The results showed that the scale of Iranian students, the three-factor structure and has good reliability and validity. So, coping self-efficacy scale can be used in Iranian samples.

Emotion regulation is considered as the intentional and automatic ways through which individuals manage the feelings that they have. Increasingly researches indicate the importance of emotion regulation strategies in variables such as psychological well being and numerous psychological disorders. Individuals who are not able to use adaptive emotion regulation strategies face many negative consequences. Strategies, including thought suppression, emotional inhibition and acceptance have been widely studied in the theoretical and research literature. Researchers seek to find the effects of diverse emotion regulation strategies on other psychological variables. In line with this, some instructions should be used to induce these strategies. Not only do researches support the emotional, cognitive, and social effects of aforementioned strategies, but also cross-cultural findings indicate that these strategies are highly affected by culture. On the other hand, to use these strategies in Iranian studies it is necessary to introduce related instructions. In this paper, we will review these strategies and present the instructions related to each emotion regulation strategies in experimental studies.
