This study aimes to investigate the psychometric properties of the pediatric health-related quality of life inventory (PedsQLTM 3.0 Cardiac Module) in Iranian adolescent with congenital heart disease.

After linguistic validation, the Iranian version of PedsQLTM 3.0 Cardiac Module was completed by 180 adolescent with congenital heart disease, aged 13-19, and their parents, who referred to the echocardiography section of the Rajaei Cardiovascular, Medical and Research Center (RCMRC) for a cardio checkup in July-September, 2018. In addition to PedsQLTM 3.0 Cardiac Module, the general version of pediatric quality of life inventory (PedsQLTM 4.0 Generic Core Scales) and the anxiety section of Child Symptom Inventory (CSI-4) were used to investigate the convergent and divergent validity of the PedsQLTM 3.0 Cardiac Module.

Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) indicated 6 factors for child self-report and 7 factors for the parent proxy-report of PedsQLTM 3.0 Cardiac Module. Moreover, the results showed an acceptable positive significant correlation between PedsQLTM 3.0 Cardiac Module and PedsQLTM 4.0 Generic Core Scales and an acceptable negative significant correlation between PedsQLTM 3.0 Cardiac Module and the anxiety section of CSI-4. Furthermore, the Cronbach Alpha for all dimensions of PedsQLTM 3.0 Cardiac Module (adolescent self-report and parent proxy-report) was reported as (α =0.34 to α =0.89) and (α =0.44 to α =0.91), respectively. Likewise, the test-retest correlation for all factors, except for the medication intake problem in adolescent self-report, was higher than α =0.70, which indicates its stability over time. Moreover, the correlation between adolescent and their parents’perception of the adolescent’s quality of life was low to mediocre (P ≥0.01) in all dimensions except for the communication.

Altogether, the results of the study support the validity and reliability of PedsQLTM 3.0 Cardiac Module in Iranian population to be applied for future uses.

The purpose of this study was modeling the relationship between Stress and Eating Disorder by mediating the Meaning of Life and Experiential Avoidance. The research method is descriptive and type of Structural Correlation Modeling. The statistical population of this study is all studying students at Mashhad Ferdowsi University in 2020.. 387 people were selected from among the studying students by multi-stage cluster sampling method. The participants answered to Eating Attitudes Test (Garner et al., 1979), Multidimensional Experiential Avoidance Questionnaire (Gamez et al., 2011), Meaning of Life Questionnaire (Steger & Shin, 2010) and Student Stress Survey (Ross, Neibling, Heckert, 1999). Data were analyzed by SPSS 23 and AMOS 23 statistical software. P-value was smaller than 0.01 in the Total Effect Model analysis and the Mediation Effect Model analysis. The results of Total Effect Model analysis showed that the variable of Stress was directly and positively correlated with the variable of Eating Disorder. Also, the results of the Mediation Effect Model analysis showed that the variable of Experiential Avoidance mediates positively and partially the relationship between Stress and Eating Disorder. The Meaning of Life mediates negatively and partially the relationship between Stress and Eating Disorder. In addition to conceptualizing Eating Disorder, this study showed the relationship between Stress and Eating Disorder and revealed the role of Experiential Avoidance and the Meaning in life as two underlying and continuing factors that should be considered in the treatment of this disorder.

Aim of the current study was to investigate the mediating role of help seeking in the relationship among self- regulation, motivation beliefs and procrastination. To fullfill the stated goal, 300male and female of students of the firs year of high school (seventh,eighth,ninth) in Tehran using multistage cluster sampling method were selected For assessing the research variables, the participants completed the Bufard (1995)academic self-regulation scaIl, Rian Pentrich helpseeking (1997) and Takman procrastination questionnaires (1998)&motivational strategies MSLQ(1990). The present research method was used in descriptive-correlational designs of path analysis. Findings showed that motivational belifes have a significant positive effect on help-seeking and self-regulation and seeking help on self-regulation have a significant positive effect and procrastination has a significant negative effect on self-regulation and help-seeking and motivational beliefs. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that procrastination and motivational beliefs can transform self-regulation in students through help-seeking.Therefore,this research can be examined at the family level to be able to understand the factors affecting self-regulation within the family.

Fear of negative evaluation, focused attention and self-criticism are important cognitive factors in social anxiety disorder. So far, many therapeutic interventions have been introduced to improve them. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy and psychodrama on reducing this symptoms.

This research is a quasi-experimental study with two experimental groups and a control group. In this study, 36 students of Neyshabour University of Medical Sciences who met the criteria of social anxiety were randomly divided into three groups of 12 including two experimental groups and a control group. All three groups were evaluated with the short form of Fear of Negative Evaluation Questionnaire, Focus Questionnaire and Self-Criticism Questionnaire. The above cognitions were assessed.

Findings showed that cognitive-behavioral intervention and psycho-display both significantly reduced the negative evaluation (F = 11.559 and p = 0.001) of self-focused attention (F = 5.343 and p = 0.011). And critical self (F = 17.217 and p = 0.001) in the experimental groups compared to the control group. This difference was not significant between the test groups (p> 0.05).

Both cognitive-behavioral and psycho-dramatic interventions are effective on fear of negative evaluation, self-focused attention and self-criticism and can be used alternatively and depending on the situation in different groups, including students.

Emerging adulthood as a distinct developmental stage emphasizes on the age range of 18 to 29 years. According to Arnett (2000), this developmental stage only occurs in industrialized countries, but accomplished researches have shown that emerging adulthood also exists in other cultures. According to importance of identity and personal agency and lack of sufficient knowledge of the aspects of this stage in Iran, the purpose of present study is to determine the mediating role of personal agency on the relationship between parental attachment and ego identity in emerging adulthood. In this study, the participants (N=540) were students from one of the universities of Tehran, between 18 to 29. They completed a survey consisted of: IDEA (The Inventory of the Dimensions of Emerging Adulthood), ECR-RS (The Experience in Close Relationships-Relational Structures), Personal Agency and EIPQ (Ego Identity Process Questionnaire). The results of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) showed that attachment to parents has a direct and significant effect on personal agency and personal agency has a direct effect on ego identity, and also attachment to parents has indirect effect on ego identity. Consequently, the mediating role of personal agency in relationship between parental attachment and ego identity was confirmed. The model of father and mother has analyzed separately; the results showed that the father attachment had a greater effect on emerging adults’ personal agency.

With the prevalence of Covid-19, competitive athletes are required to continually organize and pursue their goals and performance standards for optimal adaptation to these conditions. In such stressful situations, perfectionist athletes may inevitably face many challenges in organizing and pursuing performance goals; therefore, the present study looking for answersthese two questions.
