Worldwide, aggression is one of the main death causes for people between the ages of 15 to 44. Understanding the risk factors may be critical to accurate aggression and treatment.

This study aimed to examine the relation between early traumatic events, callous-unemotional traits and insecure attachment style with aggression in a sample of adolescent out-patient.

Asample of high school students (n=345) with a mean age of 16.62 (SD=0.81) years completed Boss and Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BPAQ), Early Trauma Inventory (ETI), Inventory of Callous-Unemotional (ICU) traits and revised adult attachment scale (RAAS). The obtained data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and multivariate regression analysis.

Regression analysis revealed that 13% variance of aggression can be predicted by early traumatic events, insecure style of attachment and callous-unemotional traits.

Our findings provide further insight into the role of particularpsychopathy traits, trauma and attachment in developing and maintaining aggression. Study implications and limitations are considered.

 Today, the life expectancy of elderly people has increased all over the world. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of attention performance in predicting the elderly’s sleep quality and quality of life.   The research design was descriptive correlational. The statistical population consisted of all elderly men over 60 years of age who live in the nursing homes of Ardabil City, Iran, in 2017. Out of them, a sample of 200 individuals was selected by the available sampling method. Pittsburg sleep quality questionnaire, the World Health Organization quality of life and Stroop questionnaire were used for data collection. The obtained data were analyzed by the Pearson correlation and regression analysis in SPSS-21.  The findings showed that the Mean±SD of the subjects’ age was 66.47±6.756 years and their quality of life and sleep quality Mean±SD scores were 73.95±21.41 and 5.55±6.36, respectively. Also, the Mean±SD scores of Stroop cards of error, correct, response, and interference were 6.54±8.52, 94.48±7.37, 121.56±61.33, and 50.44±58.08, respectively. The results of the Pearson correlation and regression analysis showed a significant relationship between performance in the Stroop test and the manner of attention with the quality of sleep and quality of life (P<0.01, β=0.351), and the way in which attention is given in the Stroop test can predict the quality of sleep (P<0.001) and quality of life (P<0.001, β=0.308).  The performance of the Stroop test in the elderly by conducting training and performing different therapeutic classes will improve their quality of life and sleep quality.

Objectives Currently, the life expectancy of the elderly has been rising considerably. The present study investigated the role of strop function in the prediction of anxiety and fall self-efficacy in elderly at the city of Ardabil.
Methods & Materials The study design was correlational. The population cohort consisted of all elderly males living in the elderly homes in Ardabil in2017. Among these, a sample of 200 subjects was selected by the available sampling method. The anxiety, fall self-efficacy, and Stroop questionnaires were used for data collection. The data were analyzed by Pearson’s correlation and regression analysis.
Results A significant relationship was observed between anxiety/fall self-efficacy and Strop function. Stroop’s performance could negatively predict anxiety as well as predict the fall self-efficacy in the elderly.
Conclusion The performance of Stroop test in the elderly could be improved by training classes and various treatment groups that can indirectly decrease the amount of anxiety and increase the fall self-efficacy in the elderly.

Borderline personality (BP) is a serious mental condition in clinical practice which is marked by aggression and is shown to be affected by traumatic life events.
This study aimed to determine the relationship between early trauma and aggressive traits as predictive factors of borderline personality features (BPF) in high school students.
Three hundred and eleven students with mean age of 16.66 were recruited via multi stage random sampling. All the participants were asked to complete borderline personality features scale for children, early trauma inventory, and buss-perry aggression questionnaire. Analyzing data was done using canonical correlation.
The results indicated that BPF is predicted by early trauma and aggression traits.
In general, the findings showed that early trauma, physical aggression, verbal aggression, anger, and hostility can predict BPF and explain a considerable variance of survival index.
