The pathological use of computer games has become one of the most important concerns of mental health professionals in recent years.

This study aimed to propose a structural model for online gaming addiction, based on social rejection and cognitive ability, with emotional avoidance serving a mediating role.

In this descriptive correlational study, the research population comprised all second-grade students from secondary schools in Ardabil, Iran, during the 2022-2023 academic year. A sample of 226 students was selected using a convenience sampling method. Data was gathered using various questionnaires, including the Online Game Addiction Questionnaire by Wang and Chang (2002), the Cognitive Abilities Questionnaire by Nejati et al. (2012), the Social Peer Rejection Measure by Lev-Wiesel et al. (2013), and Kennedy’s Emotional Avoidance Strategy Inventory (2015). The collected data was then analyzed using structural equation modeling in SPSS Version 20 and AMOS Version 22.

The results revealed significant direct path coefficients for social rejection (β=0.18, P=0.004) and cognitive ability to emotional avoidance (β=0.62, P<0.001), as well as social rejection (β=0.50, P<0.001), cognitive ability (β=0.25, P=0.009), and emotional avoidance to online game addiction (β=0.39, P<0.001). The results also indicated that emotional avoidance played a mediating role in this model (P<0.005).

The findings showed that social rejection and cognitive ability affected addiction to online games through the mediation of emotional avoidance. Therefore, it is recommended to hold workshops with the aim of reducing and preventing addiction to online games.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the causal modeling of cell phone addiction based on alexithymia and communication problems with the mediating role of brain-behavioral systems in students. The statistical population of this study consisted of 280 high school male students in Khalkhal city. They were selected by multistage cluster sampling method and were answered Toronto alexithymia questionnaire, Carver-White Brain-Behavioral Systems Questionnaire, Behkham et al. Behavioral Problem Questionnaire, and Cell Phone Addiction Questionnaire. were answered. The collected data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) by SPSS software and Lisrel 8.8 software. The results showed that alexithymia and communication problems had a positive and significant effect on cell phone addiction (P<0/01). In addition, alexithymia and communication problems also had a direct effect on brain-behavioral systems mediated indirectly on cell phone addiction. These findings indicate the need for serious attention by planners and authorities to the increasing prevalence of cell phone use, its harmful use, and especially its negative consequences for students.

Overweight and obesity have become aserious concern for public health;
 Therefore, the aim of the present study was to develop a model of food craving based on family communication patterns mediated by Behavioral Emotion Regulation in overweight students in Mashhad.
This research was a causal-comparative study. The statistical population of this study was all women with migraine headache and all healthy women in Kermanshah province. 30 migraine headache patients referred to psychiatric and neurological clinics in Kermanshah province were selected by convenience sampling method. 30 healthy subjects were selected based on their (age, level of education and status Socioeconomics) were chosen and questionnaires anxiety associated with pain, pain self-efficacy and coping strategies responded. The collected data were analyzed by means of descriptive statistics, mean and standard deviation, and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA).
The results showed that the conformity orientation (β = 0.25) and behavioral emotion regulation (β = 0.29) have a direct and positive effect on food craving; Also, according to the amount of VAF statistics, it can be seen that 26/2% of the effect of dialogue orientation and 34/8% of the effect of conformity orientation on food craving can be explained through behavioral emotion regulation.
Therefore, family and emotional issues can have a significant contribution to reducing the food cravings of overweight students.

The high attractiveness of online games, along with the significant prevalence of addiction to them has made these games receive attention from experts. Therefore, the present study was done to fit a causal model of addiction to online games based on the A, B, C, and D brain quadrants dominance in students with the mediating role of behavioral regulation of emotion.

Facial emotion recognition and relational aggression have a direct effect on marital distress. Moreover, facial emotion recognition through relational aggression has an indirect effect on marital distress in infertile women.

Facial emotion recognition and relational aggression play an important role in marital distress in infertile women, and targeting these two components in psychological therapies can be effective in reducing marital distress.

The present study was conducted to develop structural equations of social adjustment of students with specific learning disorders based on alexithymia and metacognitive beliefs and mediated by perceived social support.
