Mobile phone addiction is a negative and growing phenomenon among students, which requires the serious attention of researchers. This research was conducted with the aim of investigating the relationship between physical exercise and mobile phone addiction with the mediating role of self-control in students with learning disabilities.

The descriptive research method was correlation type with structural equation approach. The statistical population of the research included students with learning disabilities in secondary school in Ardabil, 145 of whom were identified and selected as a sample. To collect data, Wilcott et al.'s learning problems questionnaire (2011), Galvin, Tulia, Rosenfield and Crisfon's (2020) physical exercise questionnaire, Tanji's self-control questionnaire (2004) and Hyun Yong Koo's mobile addiction questionnaire (2008) were used. Spss software was used to analyze the data and Smart Pls software was used to check the fit of the model.

The results of data analysis showed that physical exercise has a negative and direct effect on mobile phone addiction, self-control has a negative and direct effect on mobile phone addiction, physical exercise has a positive and direct effect on self-control, and physical exercise has a direct and negative effect on mobile phone addiction. It has an indirect effect with the mediating role of self-control.

Therefore, it can be concluded that physical exercise and self-control are important and effective variables on mobile phone addiction in students with learning disabilities, which researchers need to take preventive measures to reduce mobile phone addiction in students.

The objective of this study was to examine the effectiveness of an integrated transdiagnostic intervention program on emotion regulation and the parent-child relationship in parents of children with specific learning disabilities.

This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test and a control group. The statistical population included all parents of children with specific learning disabilities in Tehran during the academic year 2023-2024. Using convenience sampling, 30 parents of children with learning disabilities were selected based on the inclusion criteria and divided into experimental and control groups. Research tools included the Gross and John Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (2003) and the Pianta Parent-Child Relationship Scale (1994). The integrated transdiagnostic intervention program was conducted in 10 sessions over two months for the experimental group, while the control group received no intervention. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software version 28, employing descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (multivariate covariance analysis).

The results showed a significant difference between the groups in terms of emotion regulation and the parent-child relationship. The mean scores of emotion regulation and the parent-child relationship in the experimental group were higher in the post-test compared to the control group (p<0.05).

Based on the obtained results, it can be concluded that the integrated transdiagnostic intervention program is effective in improving emotion regulation and the parent-child relationship among parents of children with specific learning disabilities. Therefore, implementing the integrated transdiagnostic intervention program in treatment and educational processes is recommended.

The purpose of the present study was to compare anxiety disorders in children and adolescents with and without Specific Learning Disorders (SLD) by examining the interactive role of helicopter parenting.

The research method was causal-comparative. The population of the present study was children and adolescents(10-14 years old) of Malayer city who were diagnosed with a SLD (N=129). The sample size included 122 children and adolescents with SLD. Among the peers of these children, 122 people were matched as a control group based on age, educational level, and gender. The Screen for Child Anxiety Related Disorders (Birmaher et al., 1999) and the short form of the Helicopter Parenting Instrument (Pistella et al., 2020) were used to collect data. For data analysis, multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) using SPSS-26 software was used.

Children and adolescents with SLD received higher scores than their peers in physical and panic disorder, general anxiety symptoms, separation anxiety, social anxiety symptoms and school avoidance. This difference was greater when examining the interaction effect of SLD and helicopter parenting (p<0.05). In other words, the interactive effect size of SLD and helicopter parenting (between 0.32 and 0.36) was higher than the effect size of SLD alone (between 0.03 and 0.08).

The results showed that helicopter parenting played a role in increasing the severity of symptoms of anxiety disorders in children with SLD. It is suggested that the role of helicopter parenting in intensification the symptoms of anxiety disorders in children with SLD should be discussed.
