The goal of this study was to compare impulsivity and emotional lability in college student with ADHD symptoms with and without pornography and students without ADHD with pornography and normal people. The method was ex-post facto, cross-sectional design. The statistical population consisted of students from national universities in Tehran with and without ADHD with and without pornography and normal people. The research sample was 500 students who were selected on the bases of cutoff scores in 4 groups of 125 people: 1) with ADHD with pornography, 2) with ADHD without pornography, 3) without ADHD with pornography 4) normal group. To collect data, the World Health Organization ADHD Adult scales, Problematic Use of Pornography, Impulsivity, and Emotional Lability were used. Research data were analyzed through univariate and multivariate analysis of variance test. The results showed impulsivity and emotional lability in the group 1 is significantly higher than the group 2, also the groups 3 are more than group 4. It can be concluded impulsivity and emotional lability have important clinical implications in psychopathology, prevention and treatment of ADHD and pornography. Also, it is possible to reduce their impulsiveness and emotional lability.

The present study investigated the effect of stress induction on the inhibition system, mental processing/ storage, and cognitive failure, considering the moderator role of emotion suppression The research method was quasi-experimental and has a mixed factorial design (2×2). The study population was women in Abadeh, where 112 people were selected as a sample, and based on the suppression scores, they were assigned into two groups of low and high suppression. Each group was evaluated in two stages (no stress, and stress induction), by use of Jackson’s Five Factor Scale, Working Memory Test, and Cognitive Failures Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using mixed variance analysis. The results showed that the mean inhibition in the high-suppression group was higher than in the lower one. After stress induction, the mean of processing/storage, and cognitive failure decreased; in such a way that the mean of processing in the low suppression group, the mean of storage in the high suppression group, and also the mean of cognitive failure in both groups decreased. Therefore, suppression can have negative consequences for the inhibition system, but acute stress can affect the dimensions of working memory. However, stress and its interaction with suppression help improve cognitive failure.

The aim of this study was to determine the mediating role of disgust sensitivity in the relationship between anxiety sensitivity, worry and obsessive-compulsive symptoms in non-clinical population. The research method was correlational and path analysis and the statistical population of the study was the general population of 20 to 50 years old living in Tehran city. and 300 subjects participated in the research through an internet call with convenience sampling method. The instruments were Obsession-compulsive Disorder-revision, Anxiety Sensitivity Index-revised, Pennsylvania State Worry Questionnaire and Disgust Scale Revised. The findings showed that the model has a good fit. Also, anxiety sensitivity and worry have a direct and meaningful relationship with obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and disgust sensitivity has a mediating role in the relationship between anxiety sensitivity and worry with obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and the indirect effect of disgust sensitivity in the relationship between anxiety sensitivity, worry and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. It was meaningful. According to the mediating role of obsessive-compulsive symptoms in relation to obsessive-compulsive symptoms, planning to improve education for people in the area of worry, anxiety sensitivity can play an important role in reducing obsessive-compulsive symptoms due to disgust sensitivity.

The present study aimed to investigate the mediating role of mental rumination in the relationship between alexithymia, impulsivity, distress tolerance, and self-criticism with self-injury. The current research was part of applied research regard to procedure, In terms of method, it was a type of correlational study. The research population consisted of all the male and female students in the first year of secondary school in Ardabil city in the academic year of 2021-2022, out of which 626 people were selected as a sample by multi-stage cluster sampling method. Research questionnaires included: Klonsky and Glenn's self-injury report questionnaire, Toronto Alexithymia Scale-20, Nolen-Hoeksema and Morrow Rumination Response Scale, Simons & Gaher's Distress Tolerance Questionnaire, Barrett's Impulsivity Scale and the Thompson and Zuraf's scale of self-criticism levels. Path analysis was used to analyze the data. Findings showed that alexithymia, impulsivity, distress tolerance, and self-criticism directly and indirectly by mediating the role of mental rumination predict self-injury. It can be concluded that teaching emotional control skills and treatment of mental rumination can be useful in reducing self-injury in teenagers.

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between cognitive emotion regulation strategies and Corona disease anxiety mediated by social support. The research design was descriptive - correlational and the statistical population included all students studying at Shiraz University in the academic year 1399-1400, of which 293 were selected by convenience sampling. They responded to Alipour et al.'s Corona Disease Anxiety Scale, Zimet et al.'s Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale and the short form of Garnefski and Kraaij 's Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire. The results showed that there was a significant negative correlation between adaptive strategies of cognitive emotion regulation with corona disease anxiety and a significant positive correlation between maladaptive strategies of cognitive emotion regulation and corona disease anxiety. Also, cognitive emotion regulation strategies had a significant relationship with corona anxiety both directly and indirectly through social support. The goodness-of-fit indices also indicated the good fit of the proposed model. These results, in addition to explaining the role of cognitive emotion regulation strategies in the occurrence of anxiety, emphasize the importance of paying attention to these strategies, especially strengthening adaptive strategies along with providing social support.

The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of cognitive computer games and play therapy based on cognitive rehabilitation on the working memory of children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder(ADHD). This research was carried out using a semi-experimental method and a pre-test-post-test-follow-up design with a control group. Among the statistical population of 7 to 12 year old children suffering from ADHD, referred to Razi Counseling Center in Karaj city . 24 cases were selected by available method in 2021-2022. Samples randomly replaced in cognitive computer games, play therapy based on cognitive rehabilitation and control groups (8 cases in each group). The experimental groups received 12 sessions of intervention. Karchner's N-back test was used to collect data. Data analysis was done using mixed analysis of variance and Bonferroni's post hoc test. The findings showed that cognitive computer games and game therapy based on cognitive rehabilitation are effective on working memory of ADHD children and cognitive computer games was more effective than play therapy. According to the research results, cognitive computer game training has a more significant effect on the working memory of ADHD children, and psychologists are recommended to pay more attention to this intervention to strengthen working memory.

This study aimed to examine the mediating role of rumination and self-control in the link between perceived stress and mobile phone addiction during the COVID-19 epidemic. The present study was conducted using a correlational method and a structural equation modeling approach.The statistical population of the study included Tehran province college students which 230 people were selected voluntarily and answered the online scales include Depression-Anxiety-Stress, Smartphone Addiction, Ruminative Responses and Self-Control. The results the structural equation model showed that during the COVID-19 pandemic, perceived stress predicts the students addiction to cell phone positively. Rumination plays a mediator role between perceived stress and cell phone addiction. Moreover, self-control moderates the effect of the mediator role between perceived stress on rumination, and effect of rumination on cell phone addiction. This study focuses on the importance of rumination and self-control in understanding a probable association between perceived stress and cell phone addiction, that can be used to develop the interventions to reduce the problematic behavior among the students the COVID-19 pandemic.

The aim of the present study was to develop a model of disruptive mood dysregulation symptoms based on parental metallization, child's attachment and temperament in children aged six to twelve years in Isfahan city. It included all children from six to twelve years old in Isfahan, 401 of whom were selected and evaluated in a non-random and voluntary manner. The measurement tools included disruptive mood disorder, reflective behavior, attachment, and middle childhood temperament questionnaire. In order to analyze the data, statistical methods of correlation coefficient, general fit indices and comparative indices were used to check the proposed model. The results of the model showed that in a multivariate space, confidence in mental states, interest and curiosity in mental states, secure attachment, insecure attachment and temperamental characteristics predicted the variance of disruptive mood disorder symptoms. Also parents' mentalization, child's attachment to parents and child's temperament predicted symptoms of disruptive mood disorder in children. It is suggested that by designing psychological interventions based on mentalization and temper control training for parents, the symptoms of disruptive mood disorder in children can be reduced and moderated.
