 Mentalization, as a complete human capacity, refers to understanding the psychological processes of one's own and others' mental states. Achieving emotional regulation and developing communication skills, as well as creating and maintaining healthy relationships, is essential for social cohesion in Iran, particularly among women. Therefore, this study aimed to validate the Persian version of the Mentalization Questionnaire through psychometric evaluation to assess its reliability and validity among women in Parsian city, Hormozgan province, Iran.

In this descriptive validation study, the sample included 400 women aged 20 to 60, who were selected through the available sampling method in Parsian city (Hormozgan province) in 2021-2022. The translated 8-item version of the Mentalization Questionnaire (MQ) was used to measure the subjectivity. The results were extracted using a combination of descriptive and inferential statistical techniques including Cronbach's alpha and confirmatory factor analysis. Data were analyzed using SPSS 26 and LISREL 8 software. A significance level of 0.05 was considered.

The results showed that the questionnaire has an acceptable internal consistency, with Cronbach's alpha coefficients for the trust and distrust factors being 0.82 and 0.81, respectively. The content validity ratio (CVR) and content validity index (CVI) with a score higher than 0.92 and 1 indicated the appropriateness of the content of the questionnaire. The results of factor analysis showed that the items had good internal consistency and discriminant validity, and factor loadings ranged from 0.62 to 0.78. Cronbach's alpha coefficients for two factors were 0.82 and 0.81, which indicates good internal consistency.

Therefore, due to the desirability of the psychometric features of the Persian version of this Mentalization Questionnaire 8-item, it can be used in research and evaluation works for a more detailed examination of women's mentalizing ability.

This research aims to investigate the effectiveness of mindfulness training on the Self-Compassion and Vitality in mothers with children with learning disabilities. Based on purpose the research was applied with a semi-experimental design with pre-test, and post-test. The statistical population of the study was mothers of children with learning disabilities in Tehran in the first six months of 1400. The sample consisted of 30 mothers who were selected as the final sample by purposive sampling method and were randomly divided into two groups of experiments and control (each Group with 15 mothers). Self-compassion scale (Neff, 2003) and vitality Ryan and Frederick (1997) was used. The experimental group received ten sessions of mindfulness traning and the control group got no training. The results of covariance analysis showed that the Self-Compassion and Vitality were significantly different in the experimental group. So mindfulness training can be used as an effective way to improve Self-Compassion and Vitality in mothers with children with learning disabilities.

 One of the main challenges for parents during puberty is to tackle emotional problems in their teenagers, which may threaten their current and future health and affect the quality of parent-child relationships. Integrated parental self-awareness was assessed on the emotional regulation patterns of adolescents aged 13 to 15 years. This study was conducted to investigate the predictive role of parental awareness and self-awareness in emotion regulation patterns of 13 to 15 year olds.

 The research design was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population was 13 to 15-year-old adolescents of Parsian city and their mothers, 140 of whom were selected using appropriate random sampling method in years 2019-2020. The data were collected utilizing the Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), the Mind/Conscious Mind Scale (MMS) and the Integrated Self-Knowledge Scale (ISK). Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise regression were employed to analyze the data.

 The obtained results revealed a significant inverse relationship between integrated self-cognition and cognitive repression (P<0.002, r=0.46) and mindfulness with cognitive repression (P≤0.004, r=-0.32). There was a direct and significant relationship between knowledge with cognitive reassessment assessment (P≤0.001, r=0.45) and integrated self-knowledge with cognitive reassessment (P≤0.004, r=0.37) at a confidence level of 0.95. Moreover, the results of linear regression to predict emotion regulation patterns in adolescents showed that the coherent variable of self-awareness with a coefficient of explanation of 0.43 and the variable of consciousness with a coefficient of explanation of 0.35 could predict cognitive emotion.

 Parents, family, and child counselors could make use of parental awareness and self-knowledge education and increase the mental health components of mothers as a way to prevent and reduce adolescents’ emotional problems.

The relationship of emotion and health is a fundamental role in the health psychology.  The purpose of this study was to examine the predictive role of self-control and mindfulness of mothers   in the regulation of emotions in children. The statistical population of the present study included all mothers of 9-12 year old children in Parsian city. A statistical population of 126parents and children was selected through available sampling method. Self-control (SC), mindfulness meager assessment (MMS) and Emotion- regulation checklist questionnaire (ERCQ) were used for gathering data. Pearson correlation and multivariate regression were used for analyzing the data. The results showed that there is a direct and significant relationship between self-management with emotional instability and the lack of fit of emotion-expressing position, as well as self-control with emotional flexibility. There is a direct and significant relationship between self-consciousness in adjusting emotions and the appropriateness of expressing excitement. In addition, regression results showed that the self-management variable in the same step could excite instability at 10% of variance, the lack of fit of the emotion expressing position of 10% of variance and emotional flexibility of 0.06% of variance Explaining Additionally, in the first step, he was able to explain consciousness in expressing emotions by 0.35% of variance. According to the fending this study, can suggested, training and intervention on improving self-control and mindfulness as an effective ways for increasing the emotion regulations child
