There are several hypotheses and reasons for NSSI. The aim of this study was to investigate the differences between two groups of adolescents with NSSI and normal counterparts in executive functions, behavioral activation and behavioral inhibition system (BAS/BIS) and emotion regulation. In this cross-sectional causal-comparative study, 50 adolescents (girls and boys) having NSSI and 50 normal adolescents were compared. They performed Bart balloon computer tasks (to measure high-risk decision-making), Wisconsin cards (to measure cognitive flexibility), as well as Carver and White Behavioral Activation/Behavior Inhibition scale and filled Gratz and Roomer’s emotion dysregulation scale. Participants who reported NSSI, had higher scores on risky decision making, behavioral inhibition, emotion dysregulation, and lower scores on cognitive flexibility than participants without a history of NSSI. The results support that there is a significant difference between two groups of adolescents with NSSI and normal counterparts in executive functions, emotion regulation and BAS/BIS. The data can also be used to educate, prevent and treat adolescents with NSSI and to promote public health policieshttps://jrp.uma.ac.ir/article_1146_89520560486f8a06f25fdc098afb17ae.pdfUniversity of Mohaghegh ArdabiliJournal of Research in Psychopathology2783-32083720220201The role of chronotype (morning-evening) in predicting depression and suicidal ideation1016148710.22098/jrp.2022.9848.1045ENMahrokh Zardi NahrMaster student, General Psychology, Zanjan University, IranReza AbdiAssociate Professor of Psychology Department of Psychology Azarbaijan Shahid Madani University0000-0002-7121-2516Journal Article20211115The aim of this study was to investigate the role of chronotype (morning-evening) in predicting depression and suicidal ideation. The method of this research is descriptive and correlational. The population of this research consists of all students of Shahid Madani University in the academic year 2020-2021, among whom 300 people were selected as the sample by availability sampling. Horn and Sternberg Evening-Morning Questionnaire (1976), Beck et al.'s Depression Scale (1961), and Beck Suicide Scale (1961) were used to collect the data. The data were analyzed by Pearson correlation and multivariate regression. The results of Pearson correlation indicated that there was a negative and significant relationship between chronotype variables and depression (r = -0.254) and also there was a positive and significant relationship between depression and suicidal ideation (r = 0.514). But the relationship between chronotype variables and suicidal ideation was not significant. The results of multivariate regression showed that the chronotype variable has 25% predictability of depression. The relationship revealed that chronotype variables and suicidal ideation was not statistically significant, but the indirect effect of chronotype through depression mediation was significant. Also, 26% of suicidal ideation was predictable through depression. The results indicated that having a chronotype in the evening has the ability to predict depression and with an evening chronotype the rate of depression increases. Also, the chronotype variable in the mediating role between depression and suicidal ideation can mediate the relationship between depression and suicidal ideation.https://jrp.uma.ac.ir/article_1487_be66621fb3e5446a83dc721867ca57af.pdfUniversity of Mohaghegh ArdabiliJournal of Research in Psychopathology2783-32083720220201Prevalence of sedentary behaviors in children with specific learning disorders: The role of child-parent relationship and parenting style1724148610.22098/jrp.2022.10134.1050ENSaeed AriapooranAssociate Professor, Department of Psychology, Faculty of Humanities, Malayer University, Malayer, Iran.0000-0001-5905-4343Farzaneh RostamiM.A. in Psychology, Department of Psychology, Faculty of Humanities, Malayer University, Malayer, Iran.Yadolah GhasemipourAssistant Professor, Department of Psychology, Faculty of Humanities, Malayer University, Malayer, Iran.Journal Article20220112We studied the prevalence of sedentary behaviors (SB) in children with specific learning disorders (SLD) having an eye on the role of child-parent (C-P) relationships and parenting style (PS). In this descriptive-correlational study, a total of 116 children with SLDs in Malayer city, Iran, whose mothers and fathers participated in the study were selected using the census method. The data were collected using the Child Weekly Screen Time Scale, PS, and C-P Relationship Scales. The data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise regression analysis. The results showed that the hours mean of dealing with SB during the week, weekend, and the whole week in children with SLDs were 22.10, 8.59, and 30.75, respectively. The highest average hours of SB included watching TV, playing with handheld devices (iPhones, iPads, tablets), and playing mobile/no internet, respectively. The results, also, demonstrated a significant correlation between mother and father age, child-mother [C-M] dependency, child-father [C-F], closeness relationship, mother’s permissive PS, father's permissive PS (r=.20) with SB. Father age, father’s permissive PS, C-F callousness, and C-M dependency have been able to predict SB, respectively.https://jrp.uma.ac.ir/article_1486_703faf93f5add71b9559bd39cca29aad.pdfUniversity of Mohaghegh ArdabiliJournal of Research in Psychopathology2783-32083720220201The effectiveness of cognitive behavioral couple therapy on love and marital burnout in couples with marital conflict2534151110.22098/jrp.2022.10284.1060ENNader HajlooProfessor of Psychology, Department of Psychology, University of Mohaghegh Ardabili, Ardabil, Iran.0000-0002-2935-7455AmirMohsen RahnejatAja University of Medical Sciences, Medicine Faculty, Clinical Psychology Department, Tehran, Iran.0000-0002-2194-4698Mohammad AhmadiDepartment of Family and sexual health, Faculty of Humanities, Shahed University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran.0000-0001-7523-5523Saeed PourabdolPh.D. in Clinical Psychology, Department of Clinical Psychology, Faculty of Humanities, Shahed University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran.0000-0002-8874-9926Journal Article20220202The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral couple therapy on love and marital burnout in couples with marital conflict. This study was quasi-experimental with pre-posttest design with a control group. The population of this study included all couples with marital conflict referring to counseling and psychology clinics in Tehran in 2018. The sample in this study was 40 couples with marital conflict referring to two counseling and psychology clinics of Tehran in 2018 who were selected by availability sampling and were divided into two experimental and control groups (20 for each group). Dyadic Adjustment Scale Couple Burnout Measure and Sternberg Love Questionnaire were used for data collection. Multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) was used for data analysis using SPSS-22 software. The results showed that cognitive-behavioral couple therapy had a significant effect on love and marital burnout (p < .001). Based on these results, it can be said that dysfunctional cognitions of couples and emotions caused by negative cognitions lead to ineffective behaviors and marital conflict. Therefore, cognitive-behavioral couple therapy can reduce ineffective behaviors in couples by targeting people's cognitions and emotions, leading to increased love and reduced marital burnout.https://jrp.uma.ac.ir/article_1511_5b553ceba0d2a8514fda33b13bd5280d.pdfUniversity of Mohaghegh ArdabiliJournal of Research in Psychopathology2783-32083720220201The effectiveness of emotion regulation training and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on psychological pain in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS)3546151210.22098/jrp.2022.10367.1068ENToktam Dehghani BidgoliPhD Student in Educational Psychology, Department of Psychological Counseling, Bojnourd Branch, Islamic Azad University of Bojnourd, Bojnourd, Iran.0000-0003-4400-063Hossein MahdianAssistant Professor of Psychology, Department of Counseling and Psychology, Bojnourd Branch, Islamic Azad University of Bojnourd, Bojnourd, Iran0000-0001-7444-5166Abolghasem ShakibaAssistant Professor of Psychology, Farhangian University, Sabzevar, Iran0000-0003-1598-1449Journal Article20220217Multiple sclerosis is a chronic progressive disease of the central nervous system and its symptoms include pain and decreased functional capacity. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of emotion regulation training and acceptance and commitment therapy on psychological pain in patients with MS. This research was a quasi-experimental study with pretest-posttest design and follow-up. The participants had an age range of 20-40 years and with a scale of physical disability (EDSS) of one to 5.5 and purposefully and voluntarily selected and randomly divided into experimental and control groups. Both groups answered the psychological pain questionnaires of Orbach et al. (2003) in the pre-test-post-test and 2-month follow-up stages. The experimental groups received 10 sessions of training on emotion regulation strategies and acceptance and commitment therapy once a week for 1.5 hours. The data were analyzed using SPSS software version 23 and multivariate analysis of covariance by repeated measures. The results of multivariate analysis of covariance with repeated measures showed that teaching emotion regulation and acceptance and commitment therapy is effective in reducing psychological pain in patients with multiple sclerosis (p < .001). The harm was also expressed as a significant reduction in significant psychological pain scores after the experiments of the experimental groups and these results were maintained in the follow-up phase. Based on the results of this study, it is possible to teach the strategies of emotional regulation and acceptance and commitment therapy along with drug interventions to reduce physical and psychological pain of multiple sclerosis patients in medical centers.https://jrp.uma.ac.ir/article_1512_fccfd787e63e83012be95b9f2809257d.pdfUniversity of Mohaghegh ArdabiliJournal of Research in Psychopathology2783-32083720220201The relationship between emotional character with depression and anxiety in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome4753149610.22098/jrp.2022.9595.1042ENRoghayeh TeymooriMA.

The present research was a descriptive-correlational study. The population of the study included all people with polycystic ovary in 2012 of Ardabil city. A sample of 100 patients was selected from among patients referring to specialized clinics and Caucasus Infertility Center. To collect the data, the scales of emotional character, Beck Depression and perceived anxiety questionnaires were used. To analyze the data, Pearson correlation and multivariate regression analysis were employed. The data analysis showed a significant positive correlation between the emotional character and depression and anxiety in the participants (p < .01). Based on the results of multivariate regression, the dimensions of emotional character were able to predict the depression and anxiety in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (p < .01). These results have some significant implications for improving the mental health of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome. Therefore, by using the dimensions of emotional personality of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome, anxiety and depression can be reduced in them.https://jrp.uma.ac.ir/article_1496_eada0460701a4d0845be7ce3844ae34b.pdf
