This applied research was a quasi-experimental with pretest/posttest design and a control group. The study population consists of 8,000 children and adolescents with epilepsy in Guilan Province, and the research sample consisted of 30 boys with epilepsy aged between 15 and 18 years who were referred to Rasht medical centers in 2021, selected by purposive and available methods considering entry and baseline conditions, and randomly divided into two experimental and control groups (15 subjects in each group). The Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ-P) and the Social Self-Efficacy Scale (SSES) were used for data collection before and after treatment. The 8 sessions of ACT were conducted for the experimental group. Data were analyzed using SPSS24 software and analysis of covariance. The results of the analysis of covariance showed that ACT improved cognitive emotion regulation and social self-efficacy in adolescents with epilepsy (P<0.001). Based on the results of this study, it can be said that the acceptance and engagement-based intervention can be used as one of the treatment strategies to improve the mental health indicators of people with epilepsy.The aim of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on cognitive emotion regulation and social self-efficacy in adolescents with epilepsy.

The research method in terms of goal was practical and semi-experimental with a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The statistical population of the study was all students with mathematical disorders in Tehran who were studying in the academic year 2018-2019. The sample of this study included 24 elementary school students with mathematics problems who were randomly selected and divided into a control group (12 subjects) and an experimental group (12 subjects). Their intelligence and mathematical abilities were assessed using the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) and the Iran Key Math Diagnostic Test. The experimental group participated in 25 sessions of 50 to 60 minutes duration in the intervention program. For the development of response inhibition and maintenance of attention, the Continuous Performance Test (CPT) and the Stroop test, a subscale of the CNS Vital Sign (CNSVS) battery, were used. Data were analyzed with SPSS22 software and using analysis of covariance tests. The results of ANCOVA indicated that there was a statistically significant difference between the experimental group and the control group in terms of the concussion error of the Stroop test (p<0.05). Continuing with the power test, the difference between the experimental group and the control group was significant (p< 0.05) after omitting the pretest effect in the omission and concussion error.

The current study was applied by purpose and correlational by method. The statistical population included all students of Tehran University (47,605 individuals) studying in the academic year 2018-2019. In this project, 200 students (male= 119 & female= 81) were selected by stratified-proportional random sampling and answered the National Scale of Students Life Profile (NSSLP). Data were analyzed using frequency, mean, standard deviation, analysis of variance, logistic regression analysis, and path analysis by SPSS23 and AMOS23. The results of logistic regression analysis showed that frequency of brushing teeth, daily fruit consumption, number of study hours per day, religious attitude, worrying about not achieving wishes, depression, anger and irritation, using a car whose driver used drugs and alcohol, risky sex, and suicide attempts significantly predicted drug use. The results of the path analysis method showed that religious attitude directly and negatively predicted drug use (standard coefficient - 0.26), and the effect of religious attitude and worry about not achieving wishes on drug use was mediated by depression and anger and irritation (standard coefficient 0.18). The results of this study suggest that low religious belief and worry about not fulfilling wishes play an important role in drug use through the development of depression and anger. It is recommended that the university identify students at risk and develop a prevention plan for them according to the identified risk factors.<br />.The purpose of the present study was to develop and evaluate a model for predicting drug use among University students in Tehran.

This investigation of diagnostic accuracy was cross-sectional and was one of the primary observational and quantitative analysis studies. The population of interest for this study included all healthy adults aged 20-45 years with higher education living in Tehran in 2021. For this purpose, 44 adults aged 20 to 45 years who met the criteria of the project were selected by random sampling. Of these 44 individuals, 36 were women and 8 were men. This study was conducted in two phases. In the first phase, a researcher-made questionnaire along with the revised Adult Attachment Scale (R-AAS) as a reference test was created in the Google Form environment, and individuals who met the inclusion criteria were selected and included in the study. In the second phase, participants were presented with one minute and 39 seconds of Adult Attachment Projective Picture System (AAP) images as an activator of attachment, and their eye movements were simultaneously recorded with an eye-tracking device. For statistical analysis, the random forest test, logical regression, and ROC curves were calculated in RStudio 4.1.1. The variable “time to first fixation” in the child’s AOI in the ambulatory image predicted secure and insecure attachment (B = -1.95, sig. 0.01, p≤ 0.05). The correct percentage for classifying securely and insecurely attached adults was estimated to be 54.2% and 75%, respectively. Since the variables “duration of first fixation” and “number of fixations” were important according to the results of the random forest test, it is suggested that they be further investigated in future studies.The purpose of this study was to examine the diagnostic value of eye tracking technology in measuring adult attachment style.

The statistical population of this applied study consisted of motorists with valid certificates in Mashhad. The questionnaire was randomly filled in the summer of 2019 through on-site and face-to-face interviews with drivers in the city, followed by sending the questionnaire link through social media. The sample included 405 drivers (289 males and 197 females) who completed the new extension questionnaire of the Traffic Locus of Control Based on the Romanian Version (TLOC-RO). The construct validity of the questionnaire was assessed using two methods, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. The reliability of the instrument was further investigated by calculating Cronbach’s alpha (α) and the composite reliability (CR) index using LISREL8/8 and SPSS.22 software. Factor analysis confirmed the existence of 5 identified components in the main questionnaire that explained 54.8% of the total variance. Also, the Cronbach’s alpha for the internal locus of control was found to be 0.80, whereas the corresponding values for the external locus of control, including the factors of fate/randomness, other drivers, environment and vehicle, and religion, were calculated to be 0.79, 0.79, 0.76, and 0.92, respectively. The results show that the Farsi version of the locus of control belief is sufficiently valid and reliable, which makes it a powerful instrument for future studies to determine the locus of control beliefs of Iranian drivers.This study was conducted with the aim of locating and confirming the validity and reliability of the locus of control questionnaire in road traffic.

Yazd, IranJournal Article20210516The purpose of this study was to examine the role of the we-concept in the relationship between supportive dyadic coping and marital relationship quality in married people. It was a practical study whose method was correlation using structural equation modeling. The research population was all married people in Shiraz in 1400, of which 205 married people (56 males and 149 females) were selected by the method of random sampling and participated in the study by filling out the Dyadic Coping Questionnaire (DCQ), the We-Ness Questionnaire (WQ) and the Revision of the Dyadic Adjustment Scale (RDAS).In addition, the data were analyzed using the Amos-24 and SPSS-24 software. The results showed that perceived supportive dyadic coping had a direct impact on marital quality, while the direct path of supportive dyadic coping was not significant for marital quality. Moreover, supportive dyadic coping by self and supportive dyadic coping by partner are indirectly related to marital quality by creating a sense of we among couples. Based on the findings, it can be said that people who use supportive dyadic coping in stressful life situations feel more united and closer to each other and eventually report higher marital quality. In this context, it is suggested that these findings be used to inform couples about the importance of couple confrontation during crises.The purpose of this study was to examine the role of the we-concept in the relationship between supportive dyadic coping and marital relationship quality in married people.

According to the purpose, application and method of this research, the correlation is of structural equation modeling type. The statistical population of the research included the secondary school students in the city of Langrood in the academic year 2020-2021. The number of samples was assigned based on Klein’s rule of 220 people using the available sampling method. After data collection, 173 questionnaires, including 79 girls and 94 boys, were analyzed. The research instruments included Mental Health Questionnaires (GHQ), Addiction to Social Networks (SNA), and parents’ Supervisory Style (SKSS). The structural equation modeling method and Smart pls3 software were used for data analysis. The results showed that social network dependency was negatively and significantly related to mental health and parents’ supervision style. The research results indicate a positive significant relationship between parents’ supervision style and mental health. Moreover, parents’ supervision style may play a mediating role in the relationship between virtual network addiction and mental health. Therefore, social network addiction may increase the risk of depression and anxiety in teenagers. This problem has implications for teen mental health. Lack of adequate parental control leads to problems such as isolation, moral decline, aggression, and anxiety in teenagers.The aim of the current research is to investigate the structural relationships of mental health based on virtual network dependence mediated by parental supervision style in high school students.

The method of this study was based on the purpose and research design and was quasi-experimental and pretest-posttest with a control group. For this purpose, among all women with MS under the auspices of MS Association of Mazandaran Province year 2019, residing in Sari, 45 individuals were selected through purposive sampling and randomly divided into three groups (2 intervention groups and one control group). Members of the intervention groups were trained in 8 one-hour sessions. Participants answered the Self Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and the Ruminative Response Scale (RRS) once before the intervention and once after the intervention. Data were then analyzed using SPSS version 26. The results of multivariate analysis of covariance showed that the difference between the two groups of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and metacognitive therapy on anxiety and rumination was significant (p <0.05) and that mindfulness therapy had a greater effect on metacognitive therapy than reducing anxiety and rumination. Considering the importance that the mental health of patients with multiple sclerosis has in controlling the disease and its consequences, the use of the above treatments seems to be useful and fruitful. Therefore, therapists are recommended to use these two interventions, especially mindfulness-based interventions, to promote the mental health of these patients.The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of a mindfulness-based cognitive intervention and a metacognitive intervention on anxiety symptoms and rumination in patients with multiple sclerosis.
