The aim of this study was to investigate the mediating role of cognitive emotion regulation in the relationship between irrational beliefs and early maladaptive schemas with tendency to cosmetic surgery in women seeking cosmetic surgery. The method of the present study was a correlation model of structural equation model. The statistical population of this study included all women applicants for cosmetic surgery who referred to beauty clinics in Bushehr 2020/1399. The sample size consisted of 400 women who were selected by available sampling method. Data collection tools were, Tendency to Cosmetic Surgery (Etemadifar & Amani, 2013/1392 s.c.), Irrational Beliefs (jones, 1969), Early Maladaptive Schemas (Young, 2005) and Cognitive Emotion Regulation (Garnefski, 2001) questionnaires. The results showed that irrational beliefs and maladaptive schemas predicted the tendency to cosmetic surgery in women by mediating role of cognitive emotion regulation. Also, data analysis showed the appropriateness of the indicators and indicated a good and acceptable fitness for the hypothesized model. The findings of the structural model showed that the path of irrational beliefs and maladaptive schemas with cognitive emotion regulation is significant directly and with a tendency to cosmetic surgery mediated by cognitive emotion regulation.The results of this study can introduce a protocol for psychotherapists and counselors in providing specialized counseling to women seeking cosmetic surgery to correct irrational beliefs and cognitions and teach coping styles to reduce irrational beliefs, modification of early maladaptive schemas and increase cognitive emotion regulation.

The last two decades have seen an increase in the number of studies examining resilience to suicide, and a large number of studies have now been published on the subject. The aim of this study was to construct a structural model of Structural pattern of psychological hardiness, religious beliefs with resilience to suicide: The mediating role of positive dimensions of self-compassion. The research method is descriptive-correlation modeling of structural equations. The statistical population of this study consists of all high school students in nourabad (Delfan) in the academic year (2020 s.c.). The research sample was 350 high school students in nourabad Delfan city who were selected by cluster sampling method and used the psychological hardiness questionnaires of Maddi et al. (1982), religious beliefs developed, resistance to Osman's suicide et al (2004) and the positive dimensions of compassion responded to Reese et al (2011) online. Structural equation modeling and AMOS edition 22 and SPSS 26 were used to evaluate the proposed model. The results of the correlation coefficient showed that there was a positive and significant relationship between the dimensions of religious beliefs, psychological hardiness with positive dimensions of self-compassion and resilience to suicide (P≥0.001). The findings indicated that the proposed model fit well with the data. The results of structural equation modeling showed that 62% of the variance of positive dimensions of self-compassion is explained by religious beliefs, psychological hardiness and 69% of the variance of resilience against suicide is explained by religious beliefs, psychological hardiness and positive dimensions of compassion. Low levels of religious beliefs, psychological hardiness, and negative dimensions of self-compassion can be considered as an aggravating factor in suicide attempts that increase the severity of the relationship between risk and suicide attempt.

The aim of this study was to construct a structural model of self-critical perfectionism and the symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress as mediators of experiential avoidance and rumination. The statistical population of this study was all high school students in Nurabad (Delfan). 380 high school students in Noorabad (Delfan) city on the scale of multidimensional perfectionism (MPS), multidimensional experimental avoidance questionnaire (MEAQ), rumination-reflection questionnaire (RRS) and depression, anxiety and stress questionnaire (DASS-21) They answered. The results of Pearson correlation coefficient showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between perfectionism and its components with rumination, experiential avoidance, depression, anxiety and stress (P≥0.001). In the model of structural equations, the relatio nships between the mentioned variables had an acceptable fit and the results showed that 26% of the variance of rumination is explained by perfectionism and 30% of the variance of experiential avoidance is explained by perfectionism. Also, 47% of the variance of depression, anxiety and stress is explained by perfectionism, experiential avoidance and rumination. Perfectionism is both directly and indirectly correlated with depression, anxiety, and stress through rumination and experiential avoidance. Therefore, it is recommended to hold workshops on perfecting perfectionism and managing rumination and avoiding emotional experiences in students.

In the assessment center (AC) process, assessors evaluate job-related behavioral skills in the participant in the simulated exercises. Interpersonal interactions are the mainstay of many assessment center exercises. Nevertheless, little is known about how these interactions unfold and affect participant behavior. Interpersonal interactions could vary in a range of control to emotional affiliation, and due to these two dimensions, individuals use relationship building and directive communication. For this reason, the present study examines the influence of control and affiliation variables in developmental center exercises on relationship building and directive communication among participants. Participants were 94 graduate students of management and psychology who were measured in the role-playing practice in the assessment center and there were 12 evaluators. Research intervention includes eight designed scenarios for low and high control in which guidelines for affiliation were given to two role players. Leader Behavior Description (1384/2004) questionnaire was used to measure relationship building and direct communication. The results of hierarchical regression indicate that in the exercises that cause low affection, relationship building behavior is more evident, the same is true for low control guidelines in scenarios that cause more directive communication behaviors. The current study sought to account for the interaction of person and situation in AC exercises and at a practical level, this study provided valuable evidence-based guidance for developing more effective interpersonal simulations.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of play therapy with Axline approach on anxiety-related disorders in primary school students.  The research was quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The statistical population included all students (boys and girls) with anxiety disorders related to primary school in Yazd, in the academic year of 2018-2019. In order to conduct this study, cluster random sampling method was used and 30 anxious children were identified using an anxiety questionnaire and randomly divided into two groups of 15 (experimental and control groups). The instrument used was a child prescription questionnaire screening for disorders related to child anxiety. Play therapy interventions were performed on the experimental group. The obtained data were statistically analyzed by analysis of covariance using SPSS-24 software. The results showed that play therapy Axline approach was effective in reducing the symptoms of anxiety-related disorders (P = 0.001). Play therapy also reduced panic, generalized anxiety, separation anxiety, social phobia, and school phobia in children.

Social networks are a source of distraction in personal, educational and professional work. The aim of this study was to construct a structural model of type D personality with social media addiction as a mediating role of emotional self-awareness in adolescents. The research method is descriptive-correlational modeling of structural equations. The statistical population of this study consists of all high school students in Nurabad (Delfan) in the academic year 1400. The sample consisted of 384 high school students in Nurabad (Delfan) who were selected by convenience sampling method and used the type D personality Denollet (1998), Emotion Awareness Questionnaire Lahaye (2011), Social Media Addiction Scale Tutgun-Ünal, & Deniz (2015) responded online. Structural equation modeling and AMOS edition 24 and SPSS 26 were used to evaluate the proposed model. The results of Pearson correlation coefficient showed that there was a negative relationship between personality type D and emotional self-awareness (P≥0.001). There is also a positive relationship between personality type D and social media addiction (P≥0.001). The proposed model had the necessary fit with the data. Structural equation modeling showed that 25% of the variance of emotional self-awareness and 32% of the variance of social media addiction is explained by type D personality and emotional self-awareness. Although the personality type of individuals and the level of awareness of emotions in addiction to related networks, but it should be borne in mind that the proper use of these networks can be a useful resource in the process of primary education of students

The aim of the present study was to explain the fit of the structural model of loneliness based on the quality of parent-child communication and object relationships with the mediation of narcissism in people with borderline personality tendencies. In this descriptive-correlational study, 556 people who referred to counseling centers and psychological services in Qom city in the period of 9 months from July to March 2019 with borderline personality tendencies were selected by purposive sampling and the loneliness questionnaires of Asher et al. (1984), scale Children's attitude towards their parents were completed by Hudson and Rapi (2001), Margolis and Thomas (1980) narcissism scale, Bell's object Relations Questionnaire (1995) and Kernberg and Clarkin's (1995) Personality Organization Questionnaire. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data and check the assumed research model. The results showed that the structural model of loneliness based on the quality of parent-child relationships, object relationships with the mediation of narcissism has a favorable fit (df / 2 = 4.82, CFI = 0.950, GFI = 0.962, AGFI = 0.916 And RMSEA = 0.084) And it indicated that the quality of parent-child relationships, object relationships and narcissism explain 64% of the variance of loneliness in people with borderline personality tendencies. It seems that the feeling of loneliness can be explained based on the intrapersonal component of the primary object relationships and the interpersonal component of the quality of communication with parents, both directly and through the mediation of narcissism.

Due to the high cost of conventional family-centered mental health care, the focus on remote family counseling interventions has increased in recent years. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of telehealth for family therapy on family conflicts, marital intimacy and parent-child conflict in Corona. This research is applied in terms of purpose and semi-experimental in terms of research method. The statistical population of this study consisted of all couples who referred to the Khorramabad Divorce Reduction Counseling Center on behalf of family courts or on their own initiative to resolve family disputes. The sample consisted of 24 couples (48 people) referring to divorce counseling centers in Khorramabad city who were selected by random sampling method and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Structured clinical interview (Zimmerman, 2013), revised marital conflict questionnaire (Sanai Zaker and et al., 2008) and marital intimacy questionnaire (Oulia, 2006) were used to collect data. Remote family counseling training was conducted in the experimental group using the model of Langarizadeh et al. (2017) and Borcsa and Pomini (2018); and the control group did not receive any intervention during this period. The collected data were analyzed using Mann–Whitney. The results of Mann–Whitney showed that distance family counseling training is effective on family conflicts and marital intimacy (P≥0.001). The results of the follow-up stage showed that the stability of the intervention in the follow-up stage was maintained on the scores of family conflicts and marital intimacy. Remote telehealth for family therapy can bring effective solutions to reduce family conflicts and increase marital intimacy, especially during the covid-19 pandemic, for couples and families through the use of useful and cheap technologies along with face-to-face counseling.
