The present study was conducted with the aim of combining the researches conducted in the field of determining the effectiveness of educational and therapeutic psychological interventions on the cognitive flexibility of Iranian children and adolescents with the meta-analysis method. The statistical population of the present analysis is the available researches related to the effectiveness of educational and therapeutic psychological interventions on the flexibility of children and adolescents, which were published between 2013 and 2023. Based on the defined entry and exit criteria for primary studies and sensitivity analysis, 61 effect sizes from 43 primary studies were analyzed by CMA software version 2. The findings showed that the summary effect size of the random model was equal to 1.964, which is statistically significant and indicates the positive effect of educational and therapeutic psychological interventions on cognitive flexibility. Also, the results showed that there is a significant difference between the types of intervention, research tools, and the age and gender of the subjects. As a result, considering the desired effectiveness of providing educational and therapeutic interventions in order to improve the cognitive flexibility of children and adolescents, it is suggested that it should be considered more and more by those involved in the education of children and adolescents in order to benefit from its potential benefits throughout life.

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.

The aim of the present research is to determine the simple relationship between the type of intrusive thoughts (autogenesis-reactive) and obsessive-compulsive symptoms, considering the mediating role of cognitive appraisal, emotional responses and neutralization strategies in non-clinical samples. Therefore, a sample consisting of the Mashhad community (total 509, 346 women, 163 men) and Were examined by The Revised Obsessional Intrusions Inventory (ROII (Purdon & Clark, 1993, 1994)part I , cognitive appraisal, emotional responses and strategies to neutralize intrusive thoughts part II, The Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised (OCI-R)(Foa et al., 2002), The obtained data were analyzed based on Pearson correlation and structural equation model test. Research findings have shown that intrusive thoughts are related both directly and indirectly (through cognitive evaluations, emotional responses, and neutralization strategies) to obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Also, the model after the final modification, based on the effect of intrusive thoughts (autogenesis and reactive) on obsessive-compulsive symptoms, considering the mediating role of variables of cognitive appraisal, emotional responses and neutralization strategies in Iranian non-clinical samples It has an acceptable fit with the experimental data.
