The aim of the present study was to prepare a Persian version of the Mental Health Literacy Scale (MHLS) of O’Connor & Casey (2015) and to examine its psychometric properties. In order to 346 people of undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students of Shahroud University in 1998 were selected through available sampling And completed the Persian version of the MHLS (2015), the Psychological Assistant Attitude Scale - Fischer and Farina (1995) -Short Form, Health Anxiety inventory - Salkovskis & Warwick -Short Form (2002), and Beck Depression Questionnaire. CVR was more than 0.62 percent and the CVI was more than 0.75 percent, indicating the appropriate content validity of the scale. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis showed that the factor load of the items is more than 0.15 and all the routes from the items to the variable hidden at the level. 0.5 were significant and the scale had a good construct validity. An examination of the validity of the structure using CFA showed that the scale has a factor structure consisting of 6 subscales. The study of validity at the same time as calculating the correlation of this scale with the scale of attitude with the help of psychological psychologists - Fisher and Farina (1995) short form, Health Anxiety Questionnaire - Salkoskis and Varvik short form (2002), indicates a positive relationship between mental health scale scores It was questionnaires. The results indicate that the mental health literacy scale is a valid and appropriate tool for use in Iranian society.

Family-therapists and marriage consultants are in contact with different couples each year that their problem is extramarital relations .In this study, the relationship between the early maladaptive schemas, self-differentiation and sexual function with extramarital relations was investigated. The present study was a descriptive-correlational. The statistical population consisted of all married female students of Guilan university,Iran,in the academic year 2017-2018.Considering the size of the population, 280 students were selected as sample through multistage cluster sampling. For analysis of data, descriptive and inferential statistics, Sobel test, structural equation and SPSS and Amos softwares were used. The results showed that the early maladaptive schemata, self- differentiation and sexual function affect on extramarital relations. According to the results, three variables, the early maladaptive schemata, self- differentiation and Sexual function, in sequence with(t=2/48, β=20), (t=5/68, β=-0/43), (t=2/51, β=-0/16) have direct relation with extera marital relationship proneness and affect on. The results also showed that the early maladaptive schemata by mediation of self- differentiation have indirect effect(t=4/19, β=0/21) and by mediation of Sexual function don’t have indirect effect(t=0/52, β=0/01) on extera marital relationship proneness. So, the indirect relationship of the early maladaptive schemata by mediation of self- differentiation were confirmed and the other were rejected (p>0.05). Results showed that the early maladaptive schemata, self- differentiation and Sexual function has impact on the initiation of treachery phenomenon.

The aim of this study was to investigate the mediating role of self-deception in the relationship between moral identity and emotional well-being. The participants were 320 (170 women and 150 Men) undergraduate students from Shiraz University which were selected via random cluster sampling method, and completed the self- deception questionnaire of Sirvent et al. (2019), moral identity scale of Aquino & Reed (2002), and emotional well- being scale of Keyes & Magyar-Moe (2003). The validity and reliability of the research scales were also verified by confirmatory factor analysis and Cronbach's alpha coefficient. To test the research hypothesis, path analysis were used. The findings showed that the research model fited well with the data collected. Also, the results showed a negative and statistically significant relationship between the dimensions of moral identity and self-deception, a negative and statistically significant relationship between self-deception and emotional well-being, a positive and statistically significant relationship between internalization and emotional well-being. There was no statistically significant relationship between symbolization and emotional well-being. The mediating role of self-deception was also confirmed. In general, the findings of the present study indicated the importance of paying attention to the self-deception influence of moral identity and affecting students' emotional well-being. The results are discussed based on research and theoretical evidence.

Evaluation of psychometric indices of students' academic resilience questionnaire using confirmatory factor analysis Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the psychometric indicators of the university academic resilience questionnaire in a sample of Iranian students. In this study, 283 undergraduate students were selected by cluster random sampling and completed the academic resilience and academic self-efficacy questionnaires. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to determine the structure of the questionnaire. The results of confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the modified model has a favorable fit compared to the original model. In such a way that the fit indices are in the appropriate range. In addition, Cronbach's alpha were used to evaluate the reliability of the instrument using the internal consistency method. Accordingly, internal consistency in the whole sample for each of subscales indicates the optimal reliability of the tool. In addition, the convergence validity was confirmed by the academic self-efficacy questionnaire. Finally, the research findings revealed that the factor structure of the university academic resilience questionnaire has a good fit and can be used as a valid tool in measuring the dimensions of students' academic resilience. Keywords: Academic Resilience Questionnaire, Psychometric, Confirmatory Factor Analysis.

This study was aimed to investigate the relationship between self-regulation processes and the symptom severity of obsessive-compulsive personality disorder according to conscientiousness in non-clinical sample. 210 Iranian students of Tehran province universities (147 women and 63 men) were selected by available sampling and completed following scales: Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (Brown & Ryan, 2003), Revised Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder Questionnaire (Martukovich, 2004), Integrative Self-Knowledge Scale (Ghorbani, et al. 2008), Brief Self-Control Scale (Tangney, et al. 2004) and 10 questions of conscientiousness from Goldberg Big 5 (50) Personality Scale (1999). The analysis path method showed the mediator role of conscientiousness in relationship between mindfulness and self-control with symptom severity of OCPD. Mindfulness was directly related to symptom severity of OCPD and conscientiousness played the mediator role between mindfulness and self-control with symptom severity of OCPD. It can be concluded that mindfulness may play the protective role against the nonclinical OCPD symptoms and high level of self-control in the individuals with pathological levels of conscientiousness may underlie OCPD symptoms.

Based on the transdiagnostic approach, various variables have been introduced and found, however, their relationships and interactions are still questionable. The four important and effective transdiagnostic factors introduced in researches are emotion regulation, experiential avoidance, intolerance of uncertainty, and self-compassion. The aim of the present study was to investigate the mediating role of experiential avoidance and intolerance of uncertainty in the relationship between self-compassion, and emotion regulation difficulties in students. This research was in the form of modeling of various correlation methods. For this purpose, 405 students of Shiraz University present in the second semester of 2018-2019 year were enrolled by multistage cluster random sampling. Participants, then, completed the Short Form of Self-Compassion Scale (SCS-SF), the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire–II (AAQ-II), the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale (IUS), and the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS). Data analysis was performed by structural equation modeling, using AMOS software. The path analysis method showed that self-compassion predicted emotion regulation both directly and indirectly through intolerance of uncertainty and experiential avoidance. Therefore, it can be concluded that self-compassion enables individuals for confrontation to their experience and enhance uncertainty tolerance to help them manage their emotions. Accordingly it is important to pay attention to the changes of these two variables in self-compassion-based interventions to regulate and manage emotions.

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between helicopter parenting and psychological well-being and mental health in emerging adulthood.

The method of the present study was correlation. The research population consisted of all undergraduate students at Torbat Heydariyeh University, of whom 219 were selected by cluster sampling. In order to collect data, a helicopter parenting questionnaire psychological well-being questionnaire and mental health questionnaire were used.

The results showed that there is a significant negative relationship between helicopter parenting with psychological well-being and mental health of students (<0.05p).

Helicopter parenting seems to affect students' psychological well-being and mental health by disrupting the normal developmental process in early adulthood.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of dramatic creativity training on working memory and schoolwork engagement of elementary school students. The research method was quasi-experimental with pretest, posttest and follow-up with control group. The statistical population of the study was the students of primary girls' schools in district one of Saveh city. Among them, 50 second grade students were selected by available sampling method and randomly assigned in experimental and control groups. The experimental group participated in a 12-session course of dramatic creativity based on auditory and visual stimuli of working memory and creating positive emotions and motivation to do homework. Academic engagement scale and computer software "working memory information processing index" were used for data collection. Data were analyzed using multivariable variance analysis with repeated measures. Findings showed that teaching dramatic creativity led to a significant increase in working memory processing capacity and school-work engagement of students. These findings were also stable in the two-month follow-up. Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of creativity dramatically plays in the educational process, increases the capacity of processing working memory and students motivate to engage more in school works.

Abstract

In recent years, prevalence of the internalizing and externalizing problems in young adult population, has become a growing concern. There are many studies in which the relationship between internalizing and externalizing problems with behavioral activation and inhibition systems and hot and cool executive functions have been investigated separately, but no research is available about the mediating role of executive functions in relationship between internalizing/externalizing problems and behavioral activation/inhibition systems in young adult population. The aim of the present study is to examine the relationship between internalizing/externalizing problems and behavioral activation/inhibition systems with regard to the mediating role of hot and cool executive functions.

The method of the present study is structural equation modeling (SEM). Statistical population of this research was all of the students in universities of Tehran city, from which 160 subjects (18 to 25 years) were chosen using convenience sampling method. Assessment was conducted by 5 cognitive tests including Corsi blocks test, Flanker test, WCST, Iowa gambling task and Emotional stroop, and 3 questionnaires including Sensitivity to Punishment and Sensitivity to Reward Questionnaire (SPSSRQ), Behavior Assessment System for Children College self-report form (BASC-3 COL), and Kirby delay discounting questionnaire.

The results indicated a direct and statistically significant path from behavioral activation/inhibition systems to hot and cool executive functions (b = 0/71, p value < 0/05) internalizing problems (b = 0/033, p value < 0/05) and externalizing problems (b = -0/21, p value < 0/05). In addition, results showed an indirect and statistically significant path from behavioral activation/inhibition systems to internalizing problems (b = 0/84, p value < 0/05) and externalizing problems (b = 0/46, p value < 0/05).

Statistically significant relationship between behavioral activation/inhibition systems with internalizing and externalizing problems, suggests that dysregulation of these two systems can lead to an array of psychiatric symptoms. Moreover, the significance of the mediating role of hot and cool executive functions in relationship between behavioral activation/inhibition systems and internalizing/externalizing problems, indicates that executive functions might have a regulatory influence on the behavioral activation/inhibition systems and through this regulatory influence, executive functions may buffer the adverse effects of behavioral activation/inhibition dysregulation on psychological problems.

According to the possibility of enhancing executive functioning abilities through cognitive interventions, and diagnostic applications of the different behavioral activation/inhibition and executive functioning activity profiles, results of this study have both diagnostic and clinical importance.

The aim of this study was to investigate the mediating role of academic self-concept in the relationship between academic hope and counterproductive academic behavior. The present study was a correlational study using structural equation modeling. The statistical population of the study was all high school students in Dorodzan region in the academic year 1398-99. Participants were 299 students (167 girls and 132 boys) who were selected by cluster random sampling method and They completed the scales of academic hope (Khormaei & Kamari, 2017), counterproductive academic behavior (Rimkus, 2012) and academic self-concept checklist (Chen and Thompson, 2004). Structural equation modeling was used to answer the research hypotheses. The results showed that academic hope, both directly and indirectly and through academic self-concept, had a negative effect on counterproductive academic behavior. Overall, the findings of this study indicate the importance of paying attention to the role of academic hope and academic self-concept in reducing students' counterproductive academic behavior.
