For this purpose, 292 first-year students of the Hazrat-e Masoumeh University of Qom in fall 2020 completed the Body Image Concern Questionnaire (BIC), Parent-Child Relationship Assessment Questionnaire (PCRS), and Symptom Checklist-25 (SCL-25) using a random sampling method. The data were analyzed using SPSS software version 25 and Smart PLS version 3 and the relevant model was analyzed by Pearson correlation and multivariate regression with the stepwise method in a descriptive-correlational study. Regression coefficients showed that body image concern and father-child relationship components could explain 0.31 of the variances of interpersonal sensitivity. Body image concern (Β = 0.43, t = 0.45), anger directed to father (β = 0.13, t = 2.41) and positive affect to father (β = -0.12, t = -2.29), could significantly explain female interpersonal sensitivity. The findings of the present study showed that prevention and intervention programs with an emphasis on improving body image and relationship with the father among female students can affect their mental health.https://jrp.uma.ac.ir/article_1625_e4f7fc2886d56cc6d1ad2f0181ae461c.pdfUniversity of Mohaghegh ArdabiliJournal of Research in Psychopathology2783-32083920220801The effect of compassion-focused therapy on self-compassion and self-criticism in adolescents with body-image disorder814162410.22098/jrp.2022.10363.1067ENAqdas KhosraviMsc, department of psychology, faculty of psychology and educational sciences, Yazd University, Yazd, Iran.Fatemeh AbyarMsc, Department of educational science and psychology, Islamic Azad University Khorasgan (Isfahan) Branch.Yassaman MerciMsc, Department of clinical psychology, University of Kharazmi, Tehran, Iran.Shadi Khodakhah DarbanMsc, Department of Psychology, Faculty of Psychology, Karaj Branch, Islamic Azad University, Karaj, Iran.Fatemeh VandshekariMsc, Department of Psychology, Faculty of Psychology, marvdasht Branch, Islamic Azad University, marvdasht, Iran.Zahra EbadiInstructor, Department of Psychology, Faculty member of Psychology, Payame Noor University, Tehran, Iran.0000-0002-9886-4020Journal Article20220216The current study aimed to determine the effect of compassion-focused therapy on self-compassion and self-criticism in adolescents with body-image disorder. This quasi-experimental study was a pretest-posttest with the control group consisting of 30 adolescents with a body-image disorder based on a purposeful sampling selected and randomly allocated to experimental (n=15) and control (n=15) groups. The experimental group was provided with 10 one-week CFT sessions, while the control group did not receive any treatment. At the start of the study, after 10 weeks, all participants were tested using the Self-Compassion Scale and the Levels of Self-criticism (LOSC) Scale. In addition to descriptive statistics, MANOVA was used to analyze the results and all analyses were carried out using SPSS-23 software. Based on the MANOVA, CFT was significantly more effective than non-treatment in reducing self-criticism (p < 0.05). Moreover, CFT was able to increase the self-compassion levels among individuals with the body-image disorder, significantly (p < 0.05). Consequently, we can conclude that the practice of compassion-focused therapy seems to be a promising area of intervention, not only for decreasing self-criticism but also for enhancing self-compassion among adolescents with body-image disorder.https://jrp.uma.ac.ir/article_1624_e5296971024e0f85b433c95bc3573428.pdfUniversity of Mohaghegh ArdabiliJournal of Research in Psychopathology2783-32083920220801The relationship of shyness and neuroticism with social anxiety: The mediating role of effortful control1527172810.22098/jrp.2022.11082.1114ENAli MoghadamMasters graduate of general psychology, Urmia University, Urmia, IranFarzaneh Mikaeli ManeeAssociate Professor, Department of Psychology, Faculty of Literature &amp;amp;amp; Humanities, Urmia University, Urmia, Iran0000-0003-3746-8806Sheler AbkhizMasters graduate of educational psychology, Urmia University, Urmia, Iran0000-0001-9583-7257Journal Article20220702The current study aimed at investigating the relationship of shyness and neuroticism with social anxiety taking into account the mediating role of effortful control. The research method was descriptive-correlational of structural equation modeling. The population included all high school students (adolescents) in the cities of Tehran province studying in one of the public schools of these cities in the year 2021. The sample was selected from the cities of Tehran province by multi-stage cluster sampling (197 girls and 210 boys). Four standard questionnaires including Revised Cheek-Briggs Shyness Scale (1990), Short form of Five Personality Factors Questionnaire (2006), Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents (1998) and Effortful Control Scale (2003)<strong><em> </em></strong>were used to collect data. The data were analyzed in two sections: descriptive statistics using SPSS<sub>23</sub> software and inferential statistics using structural equation modeling in Amos software. The results revealed that only the relationship between shyness with social anxiety (β = 0.46, t = 5.081, sig = 0.000) and shyness with effortful control (β = -0.54, t = 5.985, sig = 0.000) were significant (positively and negatively, respectively). Effortful control does not mediate the effect of neuroticism on social anxiety and the effect of shyness on social anxiety. Correspondingly, neuroticism has no effect on social anxiety. Conversely, the whole model comprising the combination of shyness, neuroticism, and effortful control variables could explain social anxiety (R<sup>2</sup> = 27.4%) and the model had an acceptable fit.https://jrp.uma.ac.ir/article_1728_5fa960e4016b81c5fe6a04b8881b7ff7.pdfUniversity of Mohaghegh ArdabiliJournal of Research in Psychopathology2783-32083920220801The effectiveness of compassion-focused therapy on thought fusion, ambivalence over emotional expression, and impulsivity in married individuals with a history of suicide2836161410.22098/jrp.2022.10646.1090ENNasimeh NikbakhtMaster of General Psychology,Sari branch, Islamic Azad University, Sari, Iran.0000-0002-6303-3139Reza DonyaviAssistant professor, Department of Psychology, Neka Branch, Islamic Azad University, Neka, Iran0000-0002-0683-3674Seyed Mohammad MosaviAssistant professor of Psychiatry, Mazandaran University of medical sciences, Sari, Iran0000-0001-8759-1330Journal Article20220415The aim of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of compassion-focused therapy on thought fusion, ambivalence over emotional expression and impulsivity in married individuals with a history of suicide. This study was applied in terms of purpose and quasi-experimental in terms of method with pre-test and post-test design and control group. The population of this study includes all married individuals with a history of suicide whose disease was diagnosed by a specialist in the second half of 2020 to May 2021 referring to psychiatric centers in Sari to receive medical services. In this study, purposive non-random sampling was used. First, 50 individuals from the population were selected of whom 30 individuals were selected as a sample based on their scores in the questionnaires, and by random assignment, 15 individuals were placed in the experimental group and 15 individuals in the control group. Data collection included both library and field methods. In order to collect data, questionnaires of Beck Suicide (1961), Ambivalence over Emotional Expression (King & Emmons, 1990), Impulsivity (Barratt et al., 2004), and Thought fusion (Wells et al., 2001) were employed. Due to the standardization of questionnaires, their face validity was approved by the supervisors and consultants. The participants in the experimental groups received eight sessions of 70 minutes and two sessions per week for one month of compassion-focused therapy training interventions based on Gilbert (2018) treatment plan, while the control group did not receive any intervention. Data analysis was performed according to the assumptions and using SPSS software version 24, i.e. ANOVA and MANCOVA. The results showed that compassion-focused therapy is effective in thought fusion, ambivalence over emotional expression and impulsivity in married individuals with a history of suicide.https://jrp.uma.ac.ir/article_1614_cd0087e07b25f369233c8a77d06cb999.pdfUniversity of Mohaghegh ArdabiliJournal of Research in Psychopathology2783-32083920220801The effectiveness of solution-focused brief therapy couples' therapy on irrational thoughts and marital adjustment of incompatible couples3744153810.22098/jrp.2022.10336.1065ENMaghsoud Nader PilehroudPhD Student in Clinical Psychology, shahed University , Tehran, Iran0000-0002-7497-3652Seyed Akbbar MossavianDepartment of Psychology, School of Educational Sciences and Psychology, University of Mohaghegh Ardabili, Ardabil, IranRoghayeh AakizadehDepartment of Psychology, School of Educational Sciences and Psychology, University of Mohaghegh Ardabili, Ardabil, IranMasomeh EsmaeiliDepartment of Psychology, School of Educational Sciences and Psychology, University of Mohaghegh Ardabili, Ardabil, IranSedigeh TajabbadipourM.A. in psychology, Shahed University , Tehran, IranJournal Article20220211This research aimed to investigate the effect of short-term solution-focused couple therapy on irrational thoughts and marital adjustment of incompatible couples. This is a quasi-experimental research with pretest/posttest and control group. The population consisted of all couples visiting Behzisti counseling centers in Rasht between 2019 to 2020. The sample for this study was selected 16 couples and couples who wished to participate in the study were selected using convenience sampling, and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The instruments used in this study included Spanier Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS) and Irrational Beliefs Test-Ahwaz (4 IBT-A). After random assignment of experimental and control groups, the experimental intervention (solution-focused therapy), was performed on the experimental group for 7 sessions of 90-minute once a week and after completing the training program, posttest was taken from both groups. The results of covariance analysis (univariate) of data showed that the solution-focused training through helping couples remind the days that they were compatible with each other and pointing to their past successful relationships resulted in increasing marital adjustment and also by encouraging them to positive talk, reduced irrational thoughts of couples in experimental group compared with the control group.https://jrp.uma.ac.ir/article_1538_8ea22f84899518ef42d46954ae7a9070.pdfUniversity of Mohaghegh ArdabiliJournal of Research in Psychopathology2783-32083920220801The tendency to cyberspace addiction in students: The predictive role of ambivalence over emotional expression and social self-efficacy4551166110.22098/jrp.2022.10801.1101ENSoghra SaadatmandFaculty of Education and Psychology, University of Mohaghegh Ardabili, Ardabil, Iran0000-0001-5639-1862Amaneh Sadat HosseiniFaculty of Literature and Humanities, University of Guilan, Guilan, Iran0000-0003-1373-740XNegar VafaiezadehFaculty of Educational Sciences and Psychology, University of Mohaghegh Ardabili, Ardabil, Iran0000-0003-1612-1299Mina AmiriFaculty of Educational Sciences and Psychology, University of Mohaghegh Ardabili, Ardabil, Iran0000-0003-3369-0039Journal Article20220513Problems caused by the overuse of cell phones have led to negative consequences in students' everyday life; therefore, the present study was performed to investigate the predictive role of ambivalence over emotional expression and social self-efficacy in relation to cyber addiction tendency in students. The method was descriptive-correlational and the sample consisted of 250 high school students who were studying in Mashhad during the academic year 2020-2021, participated in this research by convenience sampling, through social media by distributing the link of online questionnaire, responded to Sevari Mobile Phone Addiction Scale (MPAS) (2014), Ambivalence over Emotional Expression Questionnaire (1990) and Connolly Adolescent Social Self-Efficacy Scale (SSES) (1989). The data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis. The results showed that addiction to cyberspace has a negative relationship with social self-efficacy and a positive relationship with ambivalence over emotional expression. Therefore, psychologists should take necessary actions to reduce the severity of attachment to cyberspace in this vulnerable group of society by teaching them appropriate policies to reduce emotional, cognitive, and social problems in students.https://jrp.uma.ac.ir/article_1661_4162769adc0bd8f7e36631b972a905d0.pdf
