The present research aimed at examining the effect of imagery rescripting and reprocessing therapy (IRRT) on negative automatic thoughts and dysfunctional attitudes of women with cancer. This research was semi-experimental with comparison design of unequal control group. Using Kendal and Hellonn`s (date?) Negative Automatic Thoughts and Weissmen & Beck`s Dysfunctional Attitudes Questionnaire, 28 women with cancer who had negative automatic thoughts and dysfunctional attitudes were randomly selected and were voluntarily assigned into experimental and control groups (14 person in each group). The experimental group received 8 sessions of IRRT techniques on basic Smoker`s educational package (one session weekly) and the control group did not receive any intervention. After the intervention of IRRT, negative automatic thoughts and dysfunctional attitudes of the members of both groups were measured again. MANCOVA was used to analyze the data. Calculated F for negative automatic thought and dysfunctional attitudes variables showed significant difference in both groups. Generally, this research in the agreement with other similar studies indicated that the IRRT method might be an effective intervention in decreasing negative automatic thoughts and dysfunctional attitudes of women with cancer.

Objective: The aim of this study was to construct a self-empathy scale based on the psychodynamic approach of Davanloo and Malan. Method: This was a descriptive correlational study with the aim of developmental psychometrics. The statistical population of this study included all students of Islamic Azad University of Tehran and Garmsar in the academic year of 1998-99. Results: The reliability coefficient of this scale was 0.89 by Cronbach's alpha method. The results of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis of his self-empathy scale showed that with 16 items, 5 factors measure body attention, perception of feelings, introspection, anxiety, and defense mechanisms. This scale, with its coefficient of reliability and validity of structure and content, is suitable for screening people at their level of self-empathy. This research was done as the first attempt to construct a scale of self-empathy that achieved 16 items and 5 internal factors of this concept. Psychometric indices of this scale can be considered for the first attempt. This scale is currently suitable for screening and this path requires more extensive research to be able to achieve psychometric indices suitable for clinical trials.

Abstract: The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of creating credibility for the co-witness bylabeling, on the conformity of visual memory. In this research, the conformity of the recognition memory of 64participants was investigated based on the "pretest-posttest control group design". First, in the pre-test step, theactual level of visual recognition memory performance of the individual participants was measured using theInternational Affective Picture System (IAPS). Then, the participants of the experimental group participated inimage recognition tasks in the presence of an expert co-witness (researcher's confederate) who was validated bythe labeling him a police officer, and the participants of the control group in the presence of a non-expert co-witness (researcher's confederate). Data analysis using one way analysis of covariance showed that theparticipants of the experimental group conformed with the valid co-witness more than the control group (ηp2 =0.88, p < 0.005 and F = (58) 19.35). In conclusion, the results showed that providing information about theexpertise of a co-witness can have an effect on memory conformity with him. It turned out that the person'sassessment of the validity of the co-witness's memory plays the most important role. It seems that a person'sperception of the credibility of a co-witness affects the way he processes new information, which leads to anincrease in conformity due to wrong attributions in the source monitoring process. Social influence also plays arole in the credibility effect, though not in terms of giving credibility to memories, but in terms of how information isused.

Justice is an important managerial issue which has received considerable attention world-wide. Over the recent thirty years of research on justice in organizations indicate that individuals are highly sensitive to executing justice in allocation of complications, procedures under which the complications are allocated and behaviors that are conducted. Social capital is a modern concept that pays a more important role than that of physical and human in the organizations and societies. Nowadays, in sociology and economy it has received widespread attention in managements and organizations. In the absence of social capital, other organizational capitals will lose their effect and can not be used optimally. Therefore, knowledge of the amount of social capital is so important. Here in this article, a questionnaire comprising of two general and special questions were prepared to study the importance of organizational justice and it impact on the social capital of employees. Then among 215 employees of medical department of Ayatollah Taleghani with Bachelor of Science, 95 individuals were selected randomly. After distribution of the questionnaires, analysis was carried out by using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlations coefficient and T test. Results gained indicate that there is a meaningful relationship among employees sensitivity to justice execution and their social capital level. Also, there is a positive meaningful relationship between understanding distributive justice, procedural justice and creating trust in organization.

Introduction: This study aimed to examine the effect of social exclusion on state self-esteem at both implicit and explicit levels and the moderating role of trait implicit and explicit self-esteem in this relation. Method: It was an experimental study with one between-subjects factor (acceptance, rejection). Participants were 110 individuals (80% women) with a mean age of 27.4 years who participated in this study voluntarily and online in fall 1400. They first responded to measures of explicit and implicit trait self-esteem then received the social exclusion manipulation by "writing about previous experience" and finally responded to measures of explicit and implicit state self-esteem. Rosenberg self-esteem scale (Rosenberg, 1965) and single-item self-esteem scale (Donnellan et al., 2015) were used to measure explicit self-esteem. Implicit Association Test (Greenwald & Farnham, 2000) and Name-Letter Test (Kitayama & Karasawa, 1997) were used to assess implicit self-esteem. Results: Consistent with sociometer theory, implicit state self-esteem was lower in response to the rejection condition compared to the acceptance condition. In contrast, explicit state self-esteem was not different between the acceptance and rejection conditions. One possible explanation for this finding is the activation of conscious defense mechanisms to protect self-esteem in response to the experience of social rejection. The effect of social exclusion on implicit state self-esteem was not moderated with either explicit or implicit trait self-esteem. whereas the effect of social exclusion on explicit state self-esteem was moderated with both explicit and implicit trait self-esteem. Conclusion: The effect of social exclusion on explicit state self-esteem was moderated such that explicit state self-esteem of participants with either high implicit or low explicit trait self-esteem was less vulnerable to the experience of social exclusion. Differences of explicit and implicit state self-esteem in response to social exclusion in different levels of explicit and implicit trait self-esteem need further investigation.

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), Fashion Attitude (Rezaei, 2014), Early maladaptive Schemas (Young, 2005) and cognitive emotion regulation (Garnefski, 2001) questionnaires. Results: The findings showed that the variables of tendency to fashion and early maladaptive schemas, mediated by cognitive emotion regulation, predicted the tendency to cosmetic surgery in women. Also, the findings of the structural equation modeling indicated the significance of the direct path coefficients of the tendency to fashion and the early maladaptive schemas with the cognitive emotion regulation. Conclusion: The results of this study can introduce a protocol for psychotherapists and counselors in providing specialized counseling to women seeking surgery to correct irrational beliefs and cognitions and teach coping styles to reduce the tendency to fashion and early maladaptive schemas and increase cognitive emotion regulation

Onomastics is a branch of linguistics, or according to Crystal (2008), a branch of semantics; onomastics has been studied from different perspectives. This paper addressed onomastics from the perspective of the social-cognitive (sociocognitive) linguistic approach, which is the corollary of cognitive linguistics and social linguistics. Social-cognitive onomastics, which can be subsumed under social-cognitive linguistics, covers the core concepts of a usage-based understanding of language, intralanguage and inter-language diversities, categorization and prototypes, cultural patterns, social senses, and the counter-effect of language, culture, and ideology. It merits mention that most studies in the area of cognitive linguistics and the newer, less studied social-cognitive linguistics focus on concepts and semantics. Scholars believe it is necessary and inevitable to shift from concepts to (proper) names, i.e. onomastics, in cognitive and social linguistics. The aim of this paper, applying documentary research method, is in line with and a continuation of a research plan launched by Zandi and Ahmadi in 2016; the only difference is that the current paper paid special attention to common nouns that represent a category. This paper also gave another outlook: an emphasis on a usage-based approach in onomastics. Pragmatically speaking, onomastics touches upon actual lexical selections from among expressions and examines the factors affecting the selection of a particular expression. The results showed that numerous factors affect the selection of a proper word for a signified concept, with context having the greatest effect.
