The spread of the Covid-19 and the resulting long-term quarantines has changed the lifestyle of a wide range of people and the pushed all of humanity towards self-care. Therefore, the purpose of the current study was to investigate the relationship between psychological self-care and resilience and creativity in response to Covid-19 with the mediating role of lifestyle in women.

This was a descriptive and correlational study. The study population included all the housewives in Kermanshah city in 2022, of which 363 women were selected through convenience sampling method. The resilience scale by Connor-Davidson (2003), lifestyle questionnaire by Laali et al. (2012), the test of creative thinking by Torrance (1966), and the self-care questionnaire by Boroujeni et al. (2020) were used to collect data. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling and 2 statistical softwares which were SPSS-22 and Smart PLS.

The results showed a direct relationship between psychological self-care and resilience and creativity in response to Covid-19 disease in women (β=0.237, p<0.05). The lifestyle variable also played a mediating role in the relationship among them (Sobel=4.635, Sig<0.001).

It can be claimed that resilience and creativity along with lifestyle play an important role in women’s psychological self-care in response to Covid-19. Therefore, the mental health professionals should pay more attention to improve the mental health during the pandemics.

The occurrence of risky behaviors in Iranian society has turned into a social concern. Additionally, risk-taking affects the health of adolescents negatively and it is suggested that committing risk-taking behaviors at least once during adolescence is associated with the likelihood of other problems and maladjustment in adulthood. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the structural relationship between risk-taking based on parenting styles and Alexithymia in adolescents from the city of Mashhad, with the mediating role of perceived social support and the extent of social media use with the regulating role of gender.

The method of the present study is applied and correlational. The population consisted of all the high school students aged 14-18 in the first, third, and fifth districts of Mashhad, during the second semester of the 2021-2022 academic year. The sample consisted of 600 students in ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades selected based on convenience sampling. The data collection for the study included the Iranian Adolescents’ Risk-Taking Scale (Zadeh Mohammadi, 2011), The Toronto Alexithymia Scale (Taylor, 1986), The Perception of Parenting Styles Questionnaire (Grolnick et al., 1997), The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support Questionnaire (Zimet et al., 1988), and the Scale of Social Media Use Questionnaire (Hosseini Esfidvadjani, 2021). Data analysis was conducted using path analysis modeling and test of mediating effects in the proposed model with the bootstrap method using SPSS26 and AMOS24 software.

The results of this study indicate that the proposed model fits well with the data. A significant negative relationship can be detected between the perception of parenting styles and perceived social support with risk-taking in both girls and boys. In addition, a significant positive relationship is detected between alexithymia and risk-taking in both girls and boys (P<0.01). Furthermore, the study confirms the mediating role of social support and the extent of social media use in relation to perceiving parenting styles and alexithymia with adolescent risk-taking (p<0.01).

Based on the results of this study, we can state that the variables of perceived social support and the extent of social media use play a mediating role in the relationship between risk-taking and the perception of parenting style and alexithymia in adolescent girls and boys.
