The main purpose of this study is to model spiritual health based on life expectancy with the mediation of emotional regulation and distress tolerance and the moderating role of gender in students of Islamic Azad University, Central Tehran Branch at the undergraduate, master's and doctoral levels. The research method is descriptive-correlational and applied. The sampling method is available and the sample size includes 500 students (250 women and 250 men). It includes the questionnaires of Ellison's spiritual health (1982), Schneider et al.'s life expectancy (1991), and Simmons and Gaher's distress tolerance (2005) and Granofsky et al.'s cognitive emotion regulation (2001), whose reliability based on Cronbach's alpha was 0.9, 0.72, 0.89, and 0.81, respectively. Data analysis includes descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation) and in the inferential analysis of data, structural equation modeling and Smart pls4 software were used. The findings indicate that the t value for the direct and indirect effects of all research hypotheses is smaller than (t=1.96). Therefore, it can be concluded that the gender variable does not moderate (strongly or weakly) the direct effect of life expectancy on spiritual health and the indirect effect of life expectancy on spiritual health through the mediation of emotional regulation and distress tolerance and the moderating role of gender of students with 95% confidence. considering that the numerical value of SRMR is less than 0.08 and NFI is close to 1, the research model has a good fit. The results of this research are applicable in psychological counseling centers.

This research was conducted to determine the effectiveness of paradox therapy on behavioral functions, emotional regulation, and brain functions by FNIRS in treating aerophobia. The current research design was a semi-experimental pre-test-post-test type with an experimental group (paradox therapy) and a control group (13 people in each group) with a 1-month follow-up test. The statistical population of this research included people who were fear of flying, and they were invited to participate in an invitation in 2024 in Tehran. Fear of flying questionnaire, emotion regulation questionnaire and Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (FNIRS) were used to collect data and also 5 session protocol (one session per week and 60 minutes each session) of paradox therapy was used for intervention. The data were analyzed with the methods of analysis of variance with repeated measurements and t-tests. The findings indicated that the paradox therapy program improved the behavioral functions and also the average oxyhemoglobin contrast signal of the left hemisphere channels in the post-test had a significant decrease compared to the pre-test (p<0.01), but it had no significant effect on emotion regulation (p>0.01). In general, paradox therapy is very important in improving the fear of flying. It can improve the behavioral and brain functions of a person, and this method can be used to treat the fear of flying.
