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 (male and female) 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 spiritual health by Ellison (1982), life expectancy by Schneider et al. (1991), distress tolerance by Simmons and Gaher (2005) and cognitive emotion regulation by Granofsky et al. (2001), whose reliability based on Cronbach's alpha is 0.9, 0.72, 0.89, and 0.81, respectively. Data analysis included 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 the value (t=1.96). Therefore, it can be concluded that the gender variable does not moderate 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 with 95% confidence (strong or weak). Also, the research model has a good fit considering that the numerical value of SRMR and NFI in male and female students is less than 0.8.

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.

The present study aimed to present a structural model of self-actualization based on creative thinking and perceived empowerment in students with the mediating role of problem-solving ability. The research method was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population of this study included all students of Payam Noor University in Varamin in the academic year 1402-1403. The sample size for structural equation modeling was estimated to be 350 people. The available sample was used to collect research data, and the research tools were the standard questionnaires of self-actualization by Soleimani et al. (1396), creative thinking skills by Wilch and Duval (2002), empowerment by Spritzer (1995), and problem-solving skills by Cassidy and Long (1996). The research data were analyzed at the descriptive statistical level by calculating the mean and standard deviation, and at the inferential statistical level by using Pearson correlation and structural equation modeling using SPSS version 26 and IMOS version 24 software. The research findings showed that the structural model of self-actualization based on creative thinking and perceived empowerment in students with the mediating role of problem-solving ability has a good fit. Also, creative thinking, perceived empowerment, and problem-solving ability have a direct effect on students' self-actualization, and problem-solving ability has a direct effect on students' creative thinking and perceived empowerment. Therefore, according to the research findings, it is suggested that: Factors affecting students' self-actualization be taken into account and universities and higher education centers, while cultivating creative thinking and problem-solving ability in them, increase their perceived empowerment so that capable individuals are trained for the future of the country.
