Students with coronary anxiety in academic and social life face many challenges in social interactions and psychological practice that require metacognitive skills to overcome them. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the effect of metacognitive skills training on symptoms of social anxiety and demoralization symptoms in girls with high levels of coronary anxiety.

The research was quasi-experimental with pre-test and post-test design with a control group and two-month follow-up period. All-female students with coronary heart disease at the Islamic Azad University of Kermanshah formed the research community. Among them, by purposive sampling and obtaining a score higher than the average in the completed instruments, 30 people were selected and assigned to groups of 15 people. Data were collected using Corona Anxiety Questionnaire (Alipour et al., 1398), Depression Syndrome (Kisan et al., 2004), and Social Anxiety (Connor et al., 2000). For the experimental group, 10 sessions of metacognitive program were performed as weekly one-hour online sessions, but the control group did not receive a program. Data analysis was performed by repeated-measures  of variance.

The experimental and control groups in the pre-test were not significantly different in terms of social anxiety and demoralization symptoms (P>0.05), but in the post-test and follow-up steps this difference was significant in terms of both variables (P<0.05). Metacognitive skills training reduced the demoralization symptoms and social anxiety in the experimental group (P<0.05).

Findings show that metacognitive skills training can be used as a method of choice in patients with coronary heart disease. Therefore, it may be helpful to consider this type of treatment as part of a treatment plan for patients with coronary anxiety disorder.

Suicidal ideation is destructive thoughts among students which can pave the way for suicide attempts. This study aimed to extract a psychological model for the formation of suicidal ideation as social harm among students. This study was conducted using a qualitative approach based on the grounded theory.

 The participants were 17 students who were selected using purposive and theoretical sampling from among students with suicidal ideation or a history of a suicide attempts. The participants were interviewed and all interviews were recorded, transcribed, and finally analyzed using Strauss and Corbin’s systematic analysis.

 The results showed that the core theme of the model of the formation of suicidal ideation was a failure to improve living conditions and the intensified perception of unpleasant experiences. Pessimism about life and the future, demotivation, and extreme helplessness were the three factors accounting for suicidal ideation.The interfering factors identified in this study were cognitive and behavioral self-destruction, believing life to be uncontrollable, and emotional impulsivity. Furthermore, the reactions to the core theme were meaninglessness of life, loneliness, deep isolation, and existential anxiety. The outcomes identified in this study were four main categories of liberation from life, attachment to death, planning the manner of death, and carrying out the decision to commit suicide. 

Gaining insight into the cycle of formation of suicidal ideation, especially into the interfering and underlying factors in the formation of the core theme can contribute to developing and implementing educational, preventive, and constructive treatment programs to address these factors that facilitate suicidal ideation.

This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of shame and guilt emotions in the relationship between moral characters and aggression.

The research method was descriptive and correlational. The participants of this study were 343 (142 males, 193 females and 8 people did not specify their gender) undergraduate students of Shiraz University in the academic year 1398 who were selected by multistage cluster sampling and completed the Moral Characters Scale (Khormaei and Ghaemi, 1397), the Shame and Guilt Proneness Questionnaire (Cohen et al, 2011) and the Aggression Scale (Bass and Perry, 1992). Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling.

The results of structural relationships showed that forgiving and pious characters predict aggression negatively and conscientiousness characters predicts aggression positively. According to the findings, honesty, etiquetee and conscientiousness characters predict feeling of guilt positively, etiquettee character predicts feeling of shame negatively and pious character has a negative relationship with the feeling of shame. Also, feeling of shame positively and feeling of guilt negatively predicted aggression. Moreover, the mediating role of shame and guilt emotions was confirmed in the relationship between moral characters and aggression (P < 0/05).

Overall, the findings showed that moral characters and the emotion of guilt reduce aggression.

This research aimed to look at the impact of academic success and identity on Internet addiction, with depression acting as a moderator. In terms of design and descriptive-correlation method, the applied form was the least partial least squares, and the research method was structural equation modeling.

The statistical population consisted of all students at Tehran universities, and the sample size was 323 people using a random sampling system. Brzonsky (1992) Identity Styles, Chen Internet Addiction (2011), Zhong Depression (1968), and Academic Performance questionnaires were used to gather research results.

According to the findings of structural equation modeling, academic success and identity explained 25% of the variance in depression and 32% of the variance in Internet addiction. Identity styles and academic success have a substantial negative impact on students' Internet addiction, while loneliness has a significant positive effect.

Depression acts as a moderator in the relationship between personality forms and academic success and students' Internet addiction

Sense of place-identity as an infrastructure of individual identity, plays an important role in the cognitive relationship between man and his place of residence. Therefore, improving residents’ place-identity in residential neighborhoods improves the quality of residence, also enriches individual personality. However, the social and semantic bonds have a significant role in the formation of place-identity. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between social and semantic bonds of residents with a sense of place-identity in residential neighborhoods.

The method is correlation and modeling. The statistical population consisted of residents of the Sepah neighborhood of Qazvin in the winter of 2021.The sample was 280 residents of the Sepah neighborhood selected by cluster random sampling and a researcher-made questionnaire was distributed among them. After confirming its reliability by calculating Cronbach's alpha and its validity through exploratory factor analysis, the experimental model was obtained through path analysis.

The results showed that place-identity dimensions in Sepah contain identification, environmental fit and alienation. Among the social and semantic bonds, social-cultural adaptation including neighborhood relationships, compatibility with customs and lifestyle adaption has the greatest direct effect on the environmental fit in place-identity formation (P<0/01).

According to the results, place-identity in Sepah is often due to the common sense that has been formed among residents through membership in a social category; therefore, to improve the sense of place-identity, it is necessary to consider socio-cultural adaptation variables.

This study aimed to assess the distribution and relationship between individual and social identity status among students in Tehran universities. The research sample consisted of 524 students from undergraduate to a specialized doctorate as well as professional doctorates in various fields of medicine, engineering and humanities who were randomly selected in clusters and were studying in Tehran universities in 2017-2018. .In this research, the. 

Method of surveywas used. Two questionnaires of individual identity (Adams and Social Identity Questionnaire (researcher-made) were used as research tools.Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test and stepwise regression analysis.

The results showed that deferred identity is the first identity of students (boys and girls) of Tehran universities. The strongest predictor of students' social identity is suspended identity. This variable alone predicted 14.7% of the variance of students' social identity scores. The two variables of suspended and disturbing identity predicted 25.4% of the variance of social identity. They predicted a total of 26.6% of the variance of social identity.

Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that students' personal identity status has a significant effect on social identity and its dimensions, and therefore attention to the healthier formation of their individual identity can be a necessity.

Anger appears as a feeling in a person and the inability to control it leads to anger rumination and violent behavior. This study aimed to investigate anger rumination and the sociological factors affecting it among prisoners who committed violent behaviors in Yazd and Bushehr.

The present study is a survey-correlation study and the statistical population consists of male prisoners who committed violent behaviors (murder, assault and battery) in the central prisons of Yazd and Bushehr. Due to the limited number of violent crimes in these two prisons, the study was conducted on a total of 300 people. Data were collected through the Anger rumination questionnaire (ARS) of Svkvlsky et al, the Social Loneliness Scale, the Glock and Stark Standard Religiosity Questionnaire, and the Gilbert and Allen Failure Questionnaire. SPSS and Amos software was used to analyze the data.

Findings showed that there is a direct and significant relationship between religiosity, failure, and emotional social loneliness with anger rumination (P <0.05). There was a significant negative relationship between religiosity and rumination(P <0.05). According to the results of the structural equation model, the indicators of which have a favorable fit, increase in the feeling of failure, and decrease in religiosity have a significant effect on anger rumination.

People who are less religious and feel socially lonely become more prone to internal strife and rumination with a sense of failure to satisfy needs, demands, and interactions, and this factor deteriorates their violent behaviors.

Everyone needs to learn communication skills to achieve a better life. This study aimed to investigate the effect of communication skills training on social anxiety and anger of abused and neglected adolescents in Tehran.

The applied research method is quasi-experimental, pre-test-post-test with a control group. The statistical population includes all abused and unaccompanied adolescents in Tehran. A total of 16 people were selected by purposive, available sampling and randomly divided into two groups of 8 controls and experiments. Communication skills training was held for the experimental group in 9 sessions of 90 minutes. Data collection tools were Lajerka Social Anxiety (1999) and Spielberger Anger (1999) Questionnaire. After analyzing the scores, the analysis of covariance was used to test the hypotheses.

The results showed that communication skills training affected social anxiety (F <0.05) and adolescent anger (0.02) concerning the significance level (0.05).

Lack of communication skills increases social anxiety and anger among abused and orphaned adolescents and causes many social problems. It is recommended that communication skills in daycare centers and semi-centralized children and adolescents with injuries Be used socially so that they learn the most important principle of living, which is to believe in themselves.

This study aimed to predict high-risk behaviors based on emotional disorder, self-differentiation, and self-Assertiveness in female adolescents.

The design of the present study was correlational. The statistical population of the study included all female adolescents aged 16 to 18 years in Shiraz. Among these adolescents, 320 people were selected as a sample using multistage sampling. Research data were collected using High- Risk Behavior Questionnaire (Zadehmohammadi et al, 2011), the initial scale of difficulty in emotion regulation (Gratz and Roemer, 2004), the self-differentiation questionnaire (Drake & Murdock, 2015), and the Self-Assertiveness questionnaire (Gambrill & Richey, 2015). Data were analyzed by correlation, regression analysis using SPSS-23.

Multiple correlation coefficient was 0.52 (p<.01) and 27.1% of high-risk behaviors variance was explained by the study variables. Also, among the predictors, the two variables of assertiveness (β =-0.36, P<0.004) and self-differentiation (β=-0.23, P<0.05), predict high-risk behaviors The two variables of assertiveness, self-differentiation, predict high-risk behaviors and explain a total of 27.1% of its variance.

According to the results, it is suggested to include these factors in prevention programs aimed at reducing high-risk behaviors.
