Objective: This study aimed to predict criminal behavior based on cognitive biases, emotion dysregulation, and social support. Method: The research method was descriptive-correlation. People formed the statistical research community cared for and supported as criminals in the Tehran Reform and Education Center in 2023. The available sampling method selected one hundred twenty people as research samples. Measurement tools included the criminal behavior checklist of Sharifinia (2010), the social support questionnaire of Vaux et al. (1986), the emotion regulation difficulty questionnaire of Gratz & Roemer (2004), the Davos cognitive bias Assessment Scale of van Der Gaag et al. (2013), which the sample people completed. the Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis were used in SPSS-24 software for data analysis. Results: The study's findings showed that cognitive biases and emotion dysregulation have a significant positive relationship with criminal behavior, and social support has a significant negative relationship with criminal behavior. The linear regression model showed that cognitive biases, emotion dysregulation, and social support can predict 78.9, 12.8, and 12.6 percent of the variance in criminal behavior, respectively. In addition, the research findings showed that the combination of research variables explains 71.9% of the variance in criminal behavior (P< 0.05).Conclusion: Given that irrational thoughts, emotional dysregulation, and lack of social support play a significant role in the formation and occurrence of criminal behavior, psychological interventions and the implementation of deterrent laws at the community level can prevent criminal behavior and improve the psychological health of adolescents.

Objective: The aim of this study was to identify the effect of group education based on schema therapy on psychological well-being and differentiation of female students. Method: The study was carried out in a quasi-experimental design with pretest-posttest and control group. The statistical population of the study included all female students from 18 to 21 years of residence in Chamran dormitory of Tehran in 2018 which were selected from among them, 30 were randomly available and replaced by accident in two groups of experimental and control.In order to collect data, we used psychological well-being questionnaire (PWBS) and differentiation Skron and Smith Questionnaire (2003) and measured in accordance with the plan, the subjects in two stages before and after the implementation of group education.The treatment program was performed for 11 sessions of 90-minute group training for experimental groups but the control group did not receive any training. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance and the findings indicated that schema therapy significantly increased psychological well-being and six components i.e. self-acceptance, positive relationship with others, autonomy, mastery of the environment, the goal of life and personal development.The program also led to a significant difference in the testable group compared to the control group in self-differentiation. Results: The result was confirmed by the effectiveness of schema therapy in modifying maladaptive schemas and enabling young students to help maintain independence and regulate their emotion and behavior. Conclusion: This program has also been effective in improving the dominance of individuals on their own schemas in improvement of their psychological well-being and can be used as a fruitful model in the students ' psychological counseling.
