Abstract Humans are faced with various physical disorders throughout their life, some of which lead to psychological problems for them and others around them. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of metacognitive therapy on psychological distress and cognitive-attention syndrome in the spouses of patients suffering from brain tumors. The present study was semi-experimental with a randomized controlled trial design. The study population consisted of the wives of patients with brain tumors living in Tabriz in 2020. The study sample of 30 individuals was randomly divided to experimental  and control groups. The spouses of the experimental group received 8 sessions of 45 to 60 minutes of metacognitive therapy. Data were collected using the Cognitive-Attention Syndrome  Scale (CAS-1) and Kessler Psychological Distress before and one week after the intervention, and analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance. The results showed significant differences (p <0.01) between the experimental and control groups after the intervention for cognitive-attention syndrome with 0/97 effect size and psychological distress with 0/82 effect size. Given the positive impacts of metacognitive therapy on cognitive-attention syndrome and psychological distress in the spouses of these patients, applying metacognitive interventions can provide a basis to enhance the psychological health of these individuals.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is the most common behavioral disorder in childhood and adolescence, affecting about 3% to 5% of children below the age of seven. This complication is more common in children in early school and adolescence, and many patients enhance with age. The aim of this study was a structural model of the severity of ADHD based on family functioning and self-differentiation considering the mediating role of marital satisfaction in mothers.

In this correlational study, the statistical population consisted of all female ADHD children and their mothers in Tehran in 2021. A total sample of 210 ADHD children was selected through the purposive sampling method. The study tools consisted of: Family Functioning of McMaster, Self-differentiation of Skowron and Schmitt, Conyers Severity of child’s ADHD, Erhardt & Sparrow and Enrich Marital Satisfaction Olson, Fornier & Derakman. The proposed model was evaluated using a structural equation modeling.

Results showed significant direct paths except for the family functioning path to the severity of the child’s ADHD. Significant indirect pathways were found for family functioning with the severity of child’s ADHD with mediating role of marital satisfaction, and for self-differentiation with the severity of child’s ADHD with mediating role of marital satisfaction.

The proposed model showed an acceptable fitness to the result and an important step in recognizing the effective factors in the severity of child’s ADHD of children.

Emotional dysregulation has been identified as an important meta-diagnostic factor for the etiology and treatment of various psychological problems and high-risk behaviors. The aim of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of Persian version of the Difficulty in emotion regulation scale positive (DERS-P) in students.

Convergent and divergent validity were also confirmed by calculating the scale correlation with the scale of difficulty in emotion regulation and psychological well-being, respectively (P<0.05). The internal consistency method was used to determine the reliability of the questionnaireCronbach's alpha for accept was 0.72, goals were 0.84, impulse was 0.86 and total scale was 0.90.

According to the findings, it can be said that Persian Version of the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale‐Positive (DERS-P) in Iran has good psychometric properties and can be a reliable tool in clinical and research situations.

Depression is one of the most common and fundamental problems in societies today. In addition to high prevalence, high recurrence rates, depression has many economic costs. Even the presence of a few mild symptoms of depression can lead to a significant reduction in performance and poor physical and mental health. Therefore, the present study was conducted to predict the symptoms of depression based on neuroticism with mediating variables of resilience and mindfulness.

The present study is a correlational design based on structural relationships, structural equation modeling. The study population was students studying at Qom University in the academic year of 2020 and 266 students were selected as available as a sample. Participants completed online the Beck Depression Inventory 2 (BDI-II), the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), the Five-Factor Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ), and the Neo-Personality Five-Factor Neuroscience Scale subscale. (NEO). Finally, the data were analyzed by SPSS and PLS software.

The results confirmed the relationship between depressive symptoms and variables of neuroticism, resilience, and mindfulness. The results also showed that neuroticism has a significant relationship with resilience and mindfulness. The research model, which is the prediction of depressive symptoms based on neuroticism with mediating variables of resilience and mindfulness was approved with a fit of 0.90.

According to the results of this study, mindfulness and resilience mediate the relationship between symptoms of depression and neuroticism. Based on this, the results of the present study can be used to prevent the symptoms of depression and also to treat it.
