The aim of this study was to investigate relationships between parent and peer attachment, and academic buoyancy with the mediating role of cognitive emotion regulation.360 students were selected (180 girl and 180 boy) from Shiraz junior school using the random multi-stage cluster sampling method. Instruments consisted of Parent and Peer Attachment Questionnaire (Armsden & Greenberg, 1987), Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (Garnefski et al, 2001), and Academic Buoyancy Questionnaire (Dehghanizadeh, & Hosseinchari, 1391). The data was analyzed using path analysis applying AMOS. The Finding showed that model has a good fitness. Also the finding showed that parent and peer attachment predict academic buoyancy positively. Also, this variable showed significant effect on cognitive emotion regulation.Cognitive emotion regulation predicts academic buoyancy, significantly. In addition, the parent attachment effects on academic buoyancy through adjustment and non-adjustment strategies of cognitive emotion regulation. The peer attachment effects on academic buoyancy through non-adjustment strategies of cognitive emotion regulation. In general, results of present research provided evidence for mediating role of cognitive emotion regulation in the relationships between parent and peer attachment, and students' academic buoyancy.

Objective: The purpose of this study was effectiveness of Gross emotion regulation model on emotional distress and emotional eating behavior on overweight female students of Islamic Azad University of Karaj.Method: undergraduate female students of Islamic Azad University In 1395, considering the inclusion criteria, 40 patients were enrolled and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. In order to determine the level of emotional distress Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) With an overall scale and its six subscales were used. Then Gross emotion regulation model, during the eight sessions of 90 minutes was applied to the experimental group. Data from pre-test and post-test experimental and control groups, were analyzed at a significance level 0.05.Results: Analysis of covariance showed Gross emotion regulation model on emotional distress and its six subscales and emotional eating behavior of overeating female students of Islamic Azad University of Karaj is effective. The difference between the two groups at post-test, a statistically significant difference. p<0.005.Conclusion: after Intervention program, a significant reduction in emotional distress and eating behavior due to emotion regulation in the experimental group than the control group were observed. These findings suggest that the way in which emotions are set on eating behavior by reducing emotional distress is effective.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of cognitive flexibility questionnaire (Dennis and Vander Wal, & Jillon, 2010) among the staff on duty at the air defense of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Four hundred and ninety participants were selected randomly via the multi-stage method and completed the cognitive flexibility and Beck questionnaire. The scores of 245 participants were analyzed with exploratory factor analysis, and the scores of 245 participants were analyzed by a confirmatory factor analysis. The findings showed that the items of this questionnaire (19 items) assigned to the two factors. These two factors were named as the process of problem-solving (with 13 items) and perception of controllability (with 6 items). The internal consistency of total score of this questionnaire and its two factors, problem-solving process and perception of controllability, were obtained 0/893 and 0.779 and 0.81 respectively. The total score of cognitive flexibility and its components, problem-solving process and perception of controllability, had a significant relationship with the total score of Beck depression test which was equivalent to -0.6650, -0.5770, -0.597, respectively. Also, CFI, RMSEA, AGFI and normed Chi-square indexes showed the goodness of fit the model with collected data.

This study aimed at making a scale for assessing juvenile delinquency and determining its factor structure and validation. After examining the related tools and taking into account cultural conditions, social properties and sociological theories of Iran the multi-dimensional scale of juvenile delinquency was provided in 20 items. Survey research was applied and all students of the city of Abadan participated in this study. Two hundred students, from different districts of ministry of education, were selected through cluster sampling. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were administered to analyze data. Exploratory factor analysis as well as its major factors indicated a four-dimensional scale for juvenile delinquency (drug addiction, ethical criminals, petty offences, and outlaw). The test result was satisfactory, KMO equal to 0/75, and Bartlett’s test was significant statistically. In addition, those dimensions could define 40.05 percent of variance of juvenile delinquency scale. Meanwhile, Cronbach Alpha of all major and minor scales were respectively equal to 0.85, 0.89, 0.82, 0.70 and 0.62. Thus, the reliability and validity of the scale were accurate so that they can be used in assessing juvenile delinquency.

The purpose of this article is to study the comparative approach of Aristotle and Farabi's philosophical method to examine the extent of differences and similarities in solving philosophical problems. The research method is a theoretical research method which has been done by content analysis and with a qualitative approach. Information gathering tools have been used to collect information from different books and through library research. To give attention to the differences and similarities, the first is a description of Aristotle and Farabi's method in solving philosophical problems. Subsequently, the characteristics of the philosophical method of each of these two philosophers are expressed. Further, the difficulties of the philosophical method of each philosopher are discussed. It seems that the similarities of the philosophical method were more than the means of differentiation, and thus the combination of these two methods can be claimed to have modeled Farabi in his philosophical method of Aristotle. With the inspiration of Aristotle's ideas and with the full knowledge of the thoughts of Greek philosophers, especially Aristotle, and with the direct influence of him, Farabi seems to have, by adopting Aristotle's philosophical method, elucidates Aristotle's ideas in the form of his philosophical method, Of course there are differences with Aristotle. Farabi's methodology has been based on principled, phrasal, hierarchical, and systematic, non-conflicting, evolutionary and peaceful conflicts that have not been of interest to Aristotle.

The purpose of this study was to develop an academic engagement model based on the classroom socio-mental climate and emotional factors of the family with the mediating role of academic resilience. The design of the research was a correlation of the structural equation model. The statistical population consists of the students of the first grade high school (the eighth and ninth grades) of Khorramabad city. A multi-stage stratified random sampling method was used that 310 high school students (the eighth and ninth grades) were selected with this method and they responded to the questionnaires of academic engagement, classroom socio-mental climate, emotional factors of the family and academic resilience. Data were analyzed with the help of AMOS software and structural equation modeling method. The results suggested that the academic engagement model has a generally acceptable fit, indicating that the data obtained from the sample confirm the proposed model. The results of direct regression coefficients between the research variables showed that the direct paths of classroom socio-mental climate and emotional factors of the family were not significant to the academic engagement, but other direct paths and two indirect paths were positive and significant. This suggests that academic resilience can mediate the relationship between the family's emotional factors and academic engagement, thus, it can be said that the classroom socio-mental climate and appropriate emotional factors in the family increase the academic resilience, and the result of an increased academic resilience will be an increase in academic engagement.

Alexithymia causes many problems in both personal and social life. What is the role early maladaptive schemas in development and maintaining of these problems? What is the role of difficulty in emotion regulation on the possible relationship between early maladaptive schemas and marital problems? To achieve answers of such questions, the present study aimed to investigate the mediating role of difficulty in emotion regulation on the relationship between early maladaptive schemas and alexithymia. Two hundred and eighty seven married students (158 females, 129 males) who were living in Urmia participated in this study as volunteers. Participants completed the Farsi version of Toronto Alexithymia Scale (FTAS-20), Young Schema Questionnaire-Short Form (YSQ-SF), and the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS). Analysis of data involved both descriptive and inferential statistics including frequency, means, standard deviation, Pearson's correlation coefficients and path analysis. The results showed a significant positive correlation between early maladaptive schemas, alexithymia, and difficulty in emotion regulation. The results of path analysis showed that the relationship between early maladaptive schemas and alexithymia was mediated by difficulty in emotion regulation. According to the results of the present study, it can be concluded that the relationship between early maladaptive schemas and alexithymia is not a linear and one dimensional correlation. Difficulty in emotion regulation can play a meditational role between the two.

The present study aimed to identify the effect of orientation was mediated by emotions in students of Physical Education. This descriptive correlation design of research projects that have been done in 93 years. Based on random cluster sampling, the population consisted of 420 subjects, all students of physical education (Ferdowsi University of Mashhad), using a total of 201 subjects were recruited the Morgan Table. To achieve the objectives of the questionnaires measuring scale the dimensions of identity (AIQ-IV), using a scale of goal orientation and positive and negative affectivity scale (PANAS) was used. Validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by experts and professors of psychology. Data, descriptive and inferential statistical techniques such as Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Pearson and confirmatory factor analysis, structural equation model analysis and LISREL and SPSS software was used. The findings showed that personal identity (p<0.001, r=0.36), social identity (p<0.001, r=0.26) and national identity (p<0.01, r=0.19), with positive affect has a positive relationship exists between personal identity and the functional purpose -Course (p<0.01, r=0.20); national identity (p<0.05, r=0.19) and religious (p<0.001, r=0.006) with a functional purpose - avoidant, social identity and purpose mastery - Course (p<0.01, r=0.14); -four personal identity, social (p<0.001, r=0.68), national (p<0.05, r=0.13 and religious (p<0.01, r=0/18) with the aim of mastering - Avoid significant positive relationship exists.Conclusion: The results showed that exogenous variables (individual and national identity) and mediators (mastery-avoidance goal and mastery goal orientation) have direct and significant impact on positive affect personal identity and purpose among these variables dominate - Trends negative effect national identity and mastery goal - avoiding a positive effect on positive emotion The social identity as one of the exogenous variables are only indirect effect on positive affect. Also based on the results of the indirect effect by changing exogenous religious identity and performance-avoidance goal mediator, the direct effect of negative emotion. Therefore concluded that the exogenous variables included in the model are confirmed, the only social identity and religious identity based on positive effect, negative affect personal identity mediate indirect effects are positive affect will lead to a mastery goal orientation.

Objective: The aim of this clinical trial study (IRCT2016081729402N1) is explored the effectiveness of familial psycho-educational program in inpatients suffering from schizophrenia in reducing caregivers’ expressed emotion.Methods: In this clinical trial, we included 49 people from the family of schizophrenic inpatients, who were admitted to Shiraz Psychiatric Hospital.They were randomly divided into intervention (n=24) and control (n=25) groups. Only, in the experimental group, a psycho-educational program was arranged for their caregivers. At baseline, immediately, post-intervention and two month later, all participants completed Family Questionnaire (FQ).Results: According to the results of the analysis of variance for repeated measures by SPSS software V.20: both groups showed decrease in post-test in FQ (Wilks' Lambda=.031; F=339.859; p=0.0001; Partial Eta Squared=.969). Also, there was a significant difference among groups (F=38.785; p=0.0001; Effect Size=0.45).Conclusion: Our research findings indicate that using the family psycho-educational program, can decrease the expressed emotion on schizophrenic inpatients' caregivers.

This study was conducted with the aim of investigating the exploratory factor structure of the Persian version of Family of Origin Scale among students of Payam Noor University of Fasa city. Two-hundred and eight students of Payam Noor University of Fasa city were selected using multi-stage random sampling method and they completed the Family of Origin Scale-40. Data were analyzed using the exploratory factor analysis and by SPSS-21 software. The results of exploratory factor analysis revealed 6-factor structure: Family emotional atmosphere, responsibility and tone and mood, respect and openness to family members, trust to family, loss and separation, clarity expression and feelings range based on previous research. The Cronbach's α coefficient was.93 for the total scale and ranged0 from.47 to.91 for the 6 factors. The significant correlations between the entire scale score and the 6 factors indicates convergent validity, and low correlation between the 6 subscales indicates divergent validity. Finally, the FOS may be used as a reliable and valid instrument in measuring aspects of family of origin both in therapeutic and research settings.
