Emotion regulation plays a determinant role in psychological health and related disorders. The aim of this study was to examine the potential effects of cognitive emotion regulation strategies on the relationship between alexithymia and interpersonal problems in a sample of Iranian students. Four hundred and forty three high school students (213 boys، 230 girls) from the city of Tehran schools participated in this study. All participants were asked to complete Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ)، Farsi version of the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (FTAS-20)، and Inventory of Interpersonal Problems (IIP-60). Results revealed a significant negative correlation between adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies and interpersonal problems. Maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies and alexithymia demonstrated a significant positive association with interpersonal problems. As substantiated through data analysis، the relationship between alexithymia and interpersonal problems was moderated by cognitive emotion regulation strategies. It can be concluded that the relationship between alexithymia and interpersonal problems is not simply linear and potentially influenced by both adaptive and maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies.

Mind reading is a social cognitive ability and mindfulness is a self-regulatory guidance of attention to task. The purpose of present study is to evaluate the correlation between mind reading and mindfulness.

Forty subjects were participated in this cross-sectional study. Mean age was 21.5 years. Each of participants completed mindfulness questionnaire and neuropsychologic test of mind reading from the eye. Pearson correlation test is used for evaluation of the correlation.

Findings show significant correlation between mindfulness and mindreading. Also those findings showed a significant correlation between mind reading in the self and others eyes (p<0.05).

Similar nature and neural substrate of mindfulness and mind reading may be a reason for their correlation. Mindfulness can be considered as proper predictor of mind reading. Also neural base of mind reading in the self and others eyes are the same.
