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.

Introduction: Given that sexual problem are multifactorial, and a few studies have been done from the point of view of social psychology, the aim of this research was to investigate the role of social exchange theory in predicting unconsummated marriage. Method: This descriptive study was correlational, and statistical population was composed of all women who referred to sexual clinics of Tehran city, among whom 220 women were selected through cluster sampling method as the study sample. The research tools included Multidimensional Vaginal Penetration Disorder Questionnaire (Molaie Nezhad, et al., 2014) and Social Exchange Styles Scale (Leybman et al., 2011). Results: The results showed that tracking style (r=0/244, p= 0/001), individualism (r=-0/283, p= 0/001), and benefit-seeking styles (r= -0/289, p= 0/001) had significant positive correlation, and fairness (r=0/277, p= 0/0001) and overinvestment (r=0/379, p= 0/0001) had significant negative relationship with unconsummated marriage disorder. Also, the results of multivariate regression showed that only the fairness style predicts 40% of the variance of unconsummated marriage disorder. Conclusion: Given that social exchange styles, especially the fairness style, are effective in the treatment of unconsummated marriage, appropriate training in this field can be helpful in family sustainability.

Aim: The present study examined the effect of emotion inducing on motor and Physiological signs of computer users so that by using these signs computers can estimate the users’ emotions and have a better interaction with them. Although the method of this study was not pure emotional calculations, it presents an approximating algorithm for classifying human emotion based on motor and Physiological signs. Method: A total number of 9 participants with adequate computer skills underwent 6 emotions (2 moods, and 3 arousals in each mood). Besides, there was a pretest at the beginning (a total of 7 emotional states). To induce emotion, Robinson’s two steps method was used. Then the participants were aroused by films. After each emotion inducing, a computer game was played the motor (12 items) and physiological signs (Skin temperature and humidity and clicking force) were measured. Results: The results showed that at 0.05 significance level, the groups had significant differences in mouse speed, mouse acceleration, palm humidity, and click force. Conclusion: Computer users’ emotion can be assessed by 4 signs of speed, acceleration, humidity, and click force.

The current study aimed to understand the effect of bilingual social context on children's episodic memory. In bilingual group Total 27 children participated at 24, 30 and 36 months of age. In this approach the convenience sampling method adopted, and monolingual group matched with them. The memory skills based upon elicited Imitation with action memory test, assessed in base line, immediate and delayed performance. The data synthesized using by variance analysis and tukey test. The data analysis revealed no significant differences between bilinguals and monolinguals. But in a broader extent the different genders show significant differences (i. e. girls gained higher scores). The base line, immediate and delayed performance resulted to significant difference. The immediate and delayed performance assessed to be better than base line performance. In this study children’s language skills were associated with performance immediately after modeling for both the actions and pairs measures of memory in the elicited imitation task. Accordingly, the current findings suggest that at least by 2 years of age, the language available to children is an important determinant of what gets into memory.

Social relationship is a culture-dependent concept that a precise understanding of its definition and components requires a careful examination of this concept in the cultural context of each society. Therefore, the aim of this this study was redefining the importance of relationship in Iran under the title of wise social relationship based on Ferdowsi's Shahnameh. This research was basic in terms of purpose, and qualitative research based on the grounded theory method based on the data collection. According to the purpose of the research, verse was considered as the unit of analysis. The statistical population included the complete text of Ferdowsi's Shahnameh, the eight-volume revision of Jalal Khaleghi Motlagh. Statistical analysis based on the process of open coding, axial coding and combined coding was performed in MAXQUDA 2018. In order to validate the designed model, the point of view of experts and researchers was used with the purposeful sampling method. The reliability of the coding of the components was found to be 0.91 based on the Kappa index. The findings showed that wise social relationship in Ferdowsi's Shahnameh consists of 7 components of peaceful coexistence with others, constructive and effective speech in interpersonal relationship, development-center and balanced relationship, understanding the values and status of the family, verbal and practical Helping and help-seeking, courageous and assertiveness in expressing the right opinion and action, concern and social awareness. As a result, due to the wide dimensions and comprehensiveness of the definition of wise social relationship, it is suggested to researchers to focus on the dimensions of the concept of wise social relationship identified in this study in order to construct reliable tools and training packages for wise relationship skills.

Introduction: The present study aimed to investigate the role of social orientation on moral behavior, regarding the mediating role of spirituality. Method: Using a random multi-stage cluster method, 407 students were selected from among Tabriz University students. Data were gathered by Lussier Moral Behavior Inventory, Harrison social orientation questionnaire, and a researcher-made questionnaire on spirituality, which was based on the Malekian theory of spirituality. Results: The results showed that by increasing the social orientation as well as spirituality, moral behavior is enhanced. On the other hand, as social orientation rises, spirituality is increased. Besides, findings of path analysis revealed that social orientation could have a direct effect on moral behavior or it could indirectly influence it through the mediating role of spirituality. In addition, results obtained by multiple regression method suggested that both spirituality and social orientation could predict part of the changes observed in moral behavior in a compound manner. Conclusion: The results suggest that various factors such as social orientation and spirituality contribute in developing moral behavior. Consequently, morality is developed in social context and individual spiritual experiences through interpersonal interactions result in the manifestation of behavior based on moral features.

The present study employs structural equation modeling to assess the fit of a structural model encompassing obsessive beliefs grounded in executive functions, with emotion regulation as a mediating factor within a non-clinical population. The sample comprises 400 adults aged 20 to 50 in Tehran, selected from the general population via the available sampling method. The data collection instruments encompassed the Obsessive Beliefs Questionnaire (OBQ), the Executive Functioning Questionnaire -Adult Version (BRIEF-A), the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ), and the Behavioral Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (BERQ). The analysis of structural model fit indices revealed that they all fell within an acceptable range, thus affirming the suitability of the research's structural model. According to this model, executive functions exhibited significant effects on adaptive emotion regulation and maladaptive emotion regulation with standard coefficients of -0.45 and 0.76, respectively. Furthermore, adaptive emotion regulation with a standard coefficient of -0.10 and maladaptive emotion regulation with a standard coefficient of 0.63 were significantly impacted obsessive beliefs. To evaluate mediating relationships, the bootstrap test results were examined. It was found that the effect of executive functions on obsessive beliefs, mediated by maladaptive emotion regulation, was significant with standard coefficient of 0.478 at the p < 0.01 level. However, the effect of executive functions on obsessive beliefs, mediated by adaptive emotion regulation, was not significant with a standard coefficient of 0.045 at the p < 0.05 level. The findings of the study hold practical implications for the prevention of obsessive belief development and the alleviation of obsession-related suffering.

Introduction: Compassion is an interpersonal construct that has important role in individuals' well-being. The main purpose of this study was to examine the validity and reliability of The Compassion of Others' Lives Scale (COOL scale). Method: To this end, 281 students (170 women and 90 men with an average age of 23.4) from Payame Noor University of Guilan were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling. They answered The Compassion of Others’ Lives Scale (Chang et al., 2014), The Emotional Empathy Scale (Mehrabian and Epstein, 1972) and The Sadistic Personality Subscale of Millon Personality Inventory. Results: The results of exploratory factor analysis showed that two factors, empathy and alleviating suffering, predicted approximately 50 percent of the variance and confirmatory factor analysis indicated that these factors were well fitted to the data (CFI= 0.91, NFI= 0.88, GFI=0.94). The convergent and divergent validity of the scale were examined by correlating with Emotional Empathy Scale and Sadistic Personality Subscale and the results showed significant correlation (P< 0.01). The internal consistency of the scale was calculated by Cronbach's alpha (0.87), and the correlation of items with the total score was obtained in the range of 0.41 to 0.60. Conclusion: According to the results, it can be concluded that the Compassion of Others' lives Scale has a good validity and reliability for Iranian samples and can be used in future studies.

Introduction: Research shows a controversy concerning the relationship between social desirability and physical and mental health. The aim of the present study was to examine how social desirability as a personality trait is associated with physical and mental health and how it has been misused. Method: The research design included two studies. In the first study, a sample of 220 students (95 males and 125 female) from the University of Tehran completed the Social Desirability (Balard, 1992), Self-Compassion (Raes et al, 2011), Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (Brown & Ryan, 2003), Subjective Vitality (Ryan & frederick, 1997), General Health Questionnaire (Goldberg et al, 1997), and Symptom Checklist (Bartone, 1995). In the second study, the persons with high and low self-compassion were exposed to socially desirable and common situation, then their physical symptoms were evaluated. Results: The correlation and regression analysis showed that social desirability had a positive relationship with self-compassion and mindfulness, but if it not associate with self-compassion and mindfulness, it might not predict physical and mental health. The comparison of groups also showed that high self-compassionate persons compared to low self-compassionate persons had some less negative symptoms during experience of socially desirable behaviour.Conclusion: A socially desirable behaviour might be compatible when it has been associated with self-regulation processes including mindfulness and self-compassion.

Introduction: Resistance to current hard conditions (coronavirus) is important and enduring emotional distress and using different emotion regulation strategies have an important impact on how people cope with stressful situations. The present study was conducted to predict the resilience of individuals based on emotional distress tolerance and cognitive emotion regulation. Method: This study was a descriptive-correlational study. The study sample consisted of 397 participants who joined online sessions. Conner-Davidson Resilience Scale (2003), Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (2001), and distress Tolerance Scale (2005) were used to collect data. Pearson correlation coefficient and regression analysis were used to analyze the data. Results: The results of regression analysis showed that five variables (positive refocusing, rumination, refocusing on planning, commenting, and blaming) together could predict 0.449% of the variance of resilience (R2 = 0.449). Also, from the 4 sub-components of the distress Tolerance Scale, three components of mental distress estimation, adjusting efforts to relieve anxiety, and being absorbed by negative emotions together were able to predict 0.531% of the resilience variable. Conclusion: Adopting adaptive strategies for emotion regulation and coping skills of emotional distress and reducing maladaptive strategies for emotion regulation is a very important factor in establishing educational programs and psychological interventions. Therefore, the implementation of electronic and virtual workshops is useful.

Introduction: The aim of this study was investigating the fitness of causal-structural relationship of parental coercion and blame attributions with delinquency by mediating of self-control and cognitive and affective empathy in clients of correction centers. Method: using a retrospective descriptive-correlational design, 258 clients chosen by convenience sampling method took part in the study. They completed Alabama Parenting Questionnaire-child form (APQ), Baron-Cohen empathy quotient scale (EQ), Gudjonsson blame attribution inventory (GBAI) and crime violence inventory (CVS). The gathered data was analyzed by Structural Equation Modeling with AMOS-Graphic software. Findings: The results confirmed the fitness of proposed model after reforming. Investigation of direct paths showed that the direct path of parental coercion positively; and blame attribution and affective empathy negatively associated with delinquency. However, the path between cognitive empathy and delinquency was not significant. For investigation of indirect effects, bootstrapping method was used and results showed that affective empathy has partial mediating role between parental coercion and delinquency. Nevertheless, it does not have mediating role between blame attribution and delinquency. Finally, cognitive empathy had mediating role between parental coercion and delinquency, but it did not have mediating role between blame attribution and delinquency. Conclusion: The results of the current study can be used by criminal psychologists, criminologists and other relevant specialists, and they can play a role in crime prevention.

Aim: This study was conducted to examine the efficacy of instructing cognitive-behavioral stress management on attitude changes towards sub-scales of eating disorders among female students. Methodology: The research method was semi-experimental, with the control and experimental group as well as implementation of pre-test and post-test phases. The sample included 20 students (10 students in experiment group and 10 in control group) who were selected from district 5 in Isfahan using Cluster random sampling method. The research measurement tool adopted was The Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26). Data obtained were analyzed utilizing SPSS18 software and Covariance Analysis Test. Results: Having implemented the intervention phase, the mean score of attitudes decreased from 22.80 before instruction to 14 after instruction for Anorexia Nervosa and from 16 to 9.60 for Bulimia Nervosa and from 15.10 to 9.70 for Mouth Control. Moreover, results of Covariance Analysis revealed effect amounts of 0.88, 0.89 and 0.82 for sub-scales of Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, and Mouth Control respectively (P

Objective: The aim of study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of WED impulsivity and aggression in adolescents with ODD. Method: Current study was conducted using a single subject experimental design. Diagnosis of ODD according to the SNAP-IV, Scale DSM5, Eisenbach. In order to assess aggression and impulsivity and difficulty in emotion regulation, Bass & Perry Aggression (1992) and Five Factors of impulsivity by Linham et al (2001) and Roemer and Graz (2004) ER were completed by participants at the beginning and during intervention sessions. Results: The magnitude of the effect of aggression on the Bass and Perry scale according to the Cohen index for the first to third participants was 0.56 0.41 and 0.47 respectively. The rate of recovery after the intervention was 45, 35 and 49% and the follow-up stage was 47,41and 50%. The magnitude of the effect of the five-factor scale, according to the Cohen index for three participants is equal to0,40, 0,53 and 0,52 respectively, and the rate of recovery after the intervention was 47, 52 and 47% .the follow-up stage was 47,51 and 50%.The magnitude of the effect of difficulty in regulating emotion, according to the Cohen index for three subjects is equal to 0,41, 0,38 and 0,37, respectively.The rate of recovery after the intervention was 35,44 and 37% and the follow-up stage was 37, 41 and 35%.
