The present study aimed tocompare the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Group Therapy (CBGT) and Mindfulness and Acceptance-based Group Therapy (MAGT) to reduce the symptoms of social anxiety disorder. The study design was experimental (pretest-posttest) with a control group. The study population was Urmia University students. Using the questionnaires of social interaction anxiety, fear of negative evaluation, structured interview and mental status examination, 59 subjects received the diagnosis of social anxiety. The participants were randomly assigned in 3 groups: control (n=20), group cognitive-behavioral therapy (n=20) and treatment of mindfulness and acceptance (n=19). They completed the questionnaires both in pretest and posttest. Treatment consisted of 12 sessions (each session=90 minutes). After the treatment, the experimental group also responded to multidimensional Client satisfaction survey questionnaire. Results of analysis of covariance showed that both treatments had a significant effect on reducing the symptoms of social anxiety. The results of post hoc tests showed that both treatments had the same impact in reducing social anxiety. It could be concluded that cognitive- behavioral therapy and mindfulness and acceptance treatment have the same efficiency in the reduction of components of social anxiety.

The aim of this study was to compare the Theory of Mind, the Concept of God, and the Concept of homeland among nursery and preschool children with different parenting styles.
This research was a post-event descriptive study. The statistical population included kindergarten and pre-school children in Tehran. The 51 children, who were between 3.5 to 6 years old, were selected by convenience sampling. Then they were classified into three groups based on their parenting styles: authoritarian, authoritative and permissive. Theory of mind was measured by games for all the participants; God's image was measured through drawings and descriptions of God, and the cognitive concept of homeland through semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical tests such as Kruskal-Wallis test.
The results showed that the number of children who achieved the theory of mind in families with authoritative parenting style was more than their counterparts in other families. The results also indicated that the kind image of God in children with authoritarian parenting is lower than the other two groups. Finally, there was no significant relationship between the concept of homeland and methods of parenting.
Based on the results, we can say that authoritative parenting style influences the formation of the theory of mind and the kind image of God.

Social anxiety is a common disorder and has a high comorbidity with other disorders. This study aimed to examine the prevalence of social anxiety among Iranian students (N=960).
The design of this survey was descriptive. The population included all students of Urmia University in the academic year 2014-2015. The number of 960 students was selected through cluster sampling. The participants answered questionnaires on demographic characteristics, fear of negative evaluation, and social interaction anxiety scale. The data were evaluated on the basis of scores located above the cut-off points to examine the prevalence of social anxiety and its associated characteristics as well.
The results showed that 5.2% of students suffered social anxiety. The prevalence of social anxiety in female and male students was determined as 5.5% and 4.7%, respectively. The data analysis showed that female and male students were significantly different in terms of level of social anxiety. In addition, undergraduate students had more social anxiety than graduate students and this difference was also statistically significant. There was no sign of social anxiety among doctoral students. The prevalence of social anxiety was not significantly different between native and nonnative students.
The results of this study were consistent with the results of other studies in terms of the prevalence of social anxiety and socio-demographic characteristics of the studied population.
