The purpose of this study was the efficacy of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on anxiety sensitivity and cognitive fusion in university students with body dysmorphic disorder. This study was a semi-experimental study with a pretest and post-test. The statistical population of this study included university students of Payame Noor University of Amlash in academic year 2023-2024. Subjects were first screened using the inclusion and exclusion criteria. therefore, 40 university students with body dysmorphic disorder were selected by available sampling method and randomly divided into experimental and control groups (20 persons in each group). All of the sample groups completed anxiety sensitivity (Floyd et al, 2005) and Cognitive Fusion Scales (Gillanders et al, 2010). The ACT group in 8 sessions based on Hayes et al (1999) model while the control group did not receive any treatment. For data analysis, multivariate analysis of covariance was used. Results showed that there were significant differences between two groups on anxiety sensitivity and cognitive fusion (P <0.01). ACT as a third wave treatment, can be an effective intervention to reduce the anxiety sensitivity and cognitive fusion in university students with body dysmorphic disorder.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of cognitive flexibility and attachment style as predictors of student social cognition. Method: statistical population was comprised of all students in Payame Noor University of rasht city who have been studying between 2019-2020. Using cluster sampling method, a group of 309 students were selected. Data were analyzed by correlation coefficient and regression analysis. The participants completed the items of Cognitive Flexibility Inventory (Dennis & Vander Wal, 2010), attachment styles questionnaire (Hazan & Shaver, 1987) and student social cognition questionnaire (Nejati, Kamari & Jafari, 2018). Results: Results showed that there were a significant positive correlation between cognitive flexibility and secure attachment with social cognition and significant negative correlation between avoidant and ambivalent attachment with social cognition. Also, regression analysis showed that cognitive flexibility 0.49 and avoidant attachment style 0.02 significantly predict student social cognition (p<0.05). Conclusion: The findings of this research indicated that cognitive flexibility and attachment style have basic role in student social cognition.

Method:The study was a causal-comparative study and 87 anxious individuals and 87 normal individuals were selected from the students of Payame Noor University of rasht city as the sample of the study. The groups( anxious individuals and normal individuals) matched in demographic features(age and sex) and completed the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire and Temperament and Character Inventory. Results: Results revealed that there were significant differences between anxious and normal students in all factors of cognitive emotion regulation(self blame, other blame, acceptance,rumination, positive refocusing,refocus on planning, positive reappraisal, putting in to perspective, catastrophizing) and temperament and character dimensions (Harm avoidance, self-directiveness, co-operativeness and self-transendence).

Therefore, the main purpose of the present study was the development of social cognition in children based on the theory of mind and comparison of theory of mind in three groups of 3, 5 and 7 years old children. Method: 150 children from Rasht city were selected by multiphase cluster sampling and completed the theory of mind scale (TMS-38). Data were analyzed in α≤0.01 significance level by multivariate analysis of variance and follow-up test. Results: The results showed that there were significant differences in levels of theory of mind between the three groups. In this case, the older subjects compared with younger subjects, obtained higher scores at all levels of theory of mind. Conclusions: According to the findings, children together with increase in age in their evolution, achieve distinct levels of theory of mind.
