The purpose of this research was to investigate the relationship between cognitive fusion and emotional processing with psychological distress in adolescents. This research is fundamental in nature and the present research method is descriptive and correlational. The statistical population was all male teenagers of Mahdasht, Karaj city in Alborz province. The statistical sample of this research was 280 people who were selected by available method. They completed Psychological Distress Questionnaire (Kessler et al., 2002), Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire (CFQ; Gillanders et al., 2014) and Emotional Processing (Baker et al., 2010). The results showed that there is a significant positive relationship between cognitive fusion and psychological distress and between emotional processing and psychological distress. Also, there is a significant positive relationship between subscales of emotional processing including suppression, the experience of unpleasant emotions, the experience of unprocessed emotions, avoidance and control with psychological distress. The results showed that 39% of the changes in psychological distress can be explained by cognitive fusion and emotional processing. These results can be used to reduce psychological distress in teenagers.

Aim: The present study aimed to show the mediating role of Positive and Negative Affect in the relationship between Sensory processing sensitivity and Alexitimiya. Method: A sample comprising of 277 students (121 males and 156 famales) was selected from among Kharazmi University students through multistage cluster sampling method. The statistical instruments consisted of Sensory processing sensitivity (Aron & Aron) questionnaire, Positive and Negative Affect (PANAS) Inventory, and Alexithimiya Inventory. Data were analyzed using multiple regression by stepwise method Pearson correlation coenfficient tests with Spss18 software. Resuls: The results showed that ease of excitation and Low sensory threshold can predict Alexithymia positively. Besides, aesthetic sensitivity can perdict Alexithymia negatively, and positive affect plays mediating role between the ease of excitation and aesthetic sensitivity. Also, alexithymia and negative affect mediate between the three dimensions of sensory processing sensitivity and alexithymia. Conclusion: The findings emphasize the need to recognize the role of Sensory Processing Sensitivity and the Positive and Negative Affect in Alexithymia.
