The purpose of the present study was to investigate the causal relationship between mindfulness and body image in adolescents with the mediating role of coping strategies. The research method was descriptive-correlation based on Structural equation modeling. The statistical population of the research included all high school boys students in Qaimshahr city in the academic year 2022-2023, and 300 students were selected as a sample by cluster sampling method. The tools of this research included the Multidimensional Body Self-relation Questionnaire (MBSRQ) Cash, 1985, the Way of Ciping questionnaire (WOCQ) Lazarus, 1985 and the Kentucky Inventory of mindfulness skills (KIMS) Bauer, Smith, and Allen, 2004. Structural equation analysis was used to analyze the data. The results showed the optimal fit of the research model. The results showed that mindfulness has a significant direct effect on body image (p<0.001). The direct relationship between mindfulness with a negative emotion-oriented coping style and with a positive problem-oriented coping style was significant (p<0.001). The direct relationship between an emotional-oriented coping style with a negative body image and the path coefficient between a problematic coping style with a positive body image was significant (p<0.001). The indirect relationship between mindfulness and body image through emotion-oriented coping and problem-oriented coping was positive and significant (p<0.001). It is concluded that coping strategies play a mediating role between mindfulness and body image in adolescents.

The purpose of the present study was to propose the model of domestic violence based on stressful factors and coping strategies with the mediating role of emotion regulation difficulty in victims of spousal abuse women from cultural point of view. The statistical population of the research enfolded all women who were victims of spousal abuse that referred to welfare and social emergency of Kerman city during February to March of 2023. The sample included 241 subjects who were selected by convenience sampling procedure. The method of this research was descriptive of correlation type. Data was collected by implementation of Haj Yahya's Domestic Violence against Women Questionnaire (1999), Kudron's Stress Scales (2002), Andler and Parker's Coping Strategies Questionnaire (1990) and Gratz and Romer's Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (2004). Data analysis was done using general model of structural equations and spss27 and pls4 software. The results showed that personality stress and life stress directly and indirectly had a significant positive effect on domestic violence through the mediation of emotion regulation difficulty. The results also revealed that coping strategies indirectly had a significant positive effect on domestic violence with the mediating role of emotion regulation difficulty (p<0/05). Therefore, it could be reported that stressful factors and coping strategies due to the mediating role of emotional regulation difficulty were among the factors that affected domestic violence in women who were victims of spousal abuse. Also, cultural components could increase or decrease spousal abuse against women in the family.

The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the relationship between spiritual well-being and coping strategies with the anxiety of corona disease in military personnel. The descriptive research method was correlation type. The statistical population of the present study included male and female employees working in a military unit in Ardabil city in 2021, and a sample of 113 people was selected using the available sampling method based on Cochran's formula. To collect data, Alipour et al.'s (2018) coronavirus anxiety questionnaires, Palutzin and Ellison's (1983) spiritual well-being, and Endler and Parker's (1990) coping strategies were used. Data analysis was done using Pearson's correlation coefficient test and multiple regression in Spss software. The findings showed that there was a negative and significant relationship between spiritual well-being and coping strategies with the anxiety of corona disease in military personnel. Also, the results of multiple regression analysis showed that the anxiety of corona disease in military personnel can be determined based on variables of spiritual well-being (P < 0.01, β = -0.265) and coping strategies (P < 0.001, β = -0.315). It is a prediction. Considering the role of spiritual well-being and coping strategies in the anxiety of corona disease, it seems necessary to pay attention to these psychological components in the design of psychological programs and interventions to reduce the disease anxiety of military personnel during the outbreak of corona and other infectious diseases.

The internationalization of higher education, the increase in educational migration, and consequently the mutual influence of cultures on a global scale, as well as the expansion of intercultural interactions among native and international students, entail a bilateral transformation and reshaping of cultural norms at individual, group, and societal levels, commonly referred to as acculturation—a multidimensional process representing a shared chapter between two cultures. Therefore, understanding the acculturation process of international students, particularly their adaptation mechanisms and coping strategies regarding social, cultural, and academic challenges, as well as establishing a balance between intrinsic and extrinsic factors while living and studying in the host country, is perceived as a significant issue. In this regard, the present study, recognizing the neglect of comprehensive and precise exploration of the dimensions of this issue and aiming to achieve a deeper insight into the prevalent themes and concepts in the field of international students’ acculturation and its developmental trajectory, systematically reviews the literature in this domain over a forty-year period (from the inception of studies in this field until July 2023), in order to contribute to the theoretical advancement of this field.

In order to examine studies related to the acculturation process of international students, an annual publication trend of these studies, visual analysis of journals, countries, and the intellectual structure of researchers in this field were investigated through a tripartite analysis comprising bibliometric analysis, scientometrics, and thematic analysis, along with the utilization of data visualization software (VOSviewer). This was carried out to examine the boundaries of knowledge, map the scientific landscape, visually identify thematic and conceptual clusters, extract the main themes of this scientific field, classify them into primary and secondary categories, and ultimately conduct a final analysis. In this comprehensive review, a combination approach was employed to identify studies within this domain and minimize errors and biases, adhering to the criteria and guidelines of the PRISMA protocol. Accordingly, the systematic selection process of studies in the investigated domain proceeded through four stages: Identification, Screening, Eligibility, and Inclusion. The qualitative assessment of the present research was conducted by employing the Scimago Journal Ranking (SJR) tool for scientific journals, focusing exclusively on articles in English and pertinent to the issue or issues concerning the acculturation process of international students in peer-reviewed international journals indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection. Additionally, concerning the qualitative assessment of the final selected articles, the viewpoints of two external expert reviewers in this field, who were not members of the research team, were also incorporated.

The findings revealed an upward trend in the publication of studies in this field at the international level, indicating researchers' inclination worldwide toward this research domain. The examination of the findings at the journal level not only elucidated the interdisciplinary nature of this subject but also revealed that research attention in this domain is largely influenced by national policies of countries towards the internationalization of higher education. Furthermore, the examination of countries' results also indicates the dispersion of research in this scientific field across all countries worldwide, with the largest share attributed to developed countries. Visual analysis of the literature using co-occurrence of terms method, along with trend analysis of research on the acculturation of international students, reflects the key topics of interest to researchers in this field. The results of the investigation into issues regarding the acculturation of international students in global research were categorized into six main clusters, namely: global citizenship and intercultural competence in education, the adjustment of international students and their individual, health-related, and psychological challenges during the educational transition period, resilience in multicultural environments, academic performance, cultural competence and capacity of international students in intercultural education, global experiences and international student interactions, migration, and employment. Moreover, the findings regarding the coping strategies of these students with acculturation issues and challenges were classified based on the thematic analysis approach into five main themes, namely: self-direction, networking, professional development, cultural interaction, and social support. Ultimately, the recommendations of this research were presented to higher education experts, policymakers, and research planners of the country to adopt a novel approach in decision-making and policy-making models in the realm of internationalization of higher education, setting new research priorities, and allocating budgetary resources accordingly.

The results also showed that the model has a good fit and explains 62% of the effect of total behavioral brain systems on coping strategies through emotion regulation mediator and 29% of the effect of total behavioral brain systems on self-efficacy through emotion regulation mediator.

The aim of study was to investigate the effectiveness of emotion regulation training on the quality of life, coping strategies, and alexithymia of mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder. The research method was semi-experimental with pretest-posttest design with a control group. The statistical population of all mothers of autistic children referring to a rehabilitation center for autistic children in Isfahan was 80 people. 30 mothers with children with autism spectrum disorder were selected by available sampling method and randomly assigned to two experimental groups (15 people) and control group (15 people). The mothers of the experimental group were trained in emotion regulation based on the Gross model (2002) during 8 sessions that were 2 hours, while the control group did not receive any intervention during this period. Before and after the training, all subjects answered the World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire (1989), the Lazarus and Folkman Coping Strategies Questionnaire (1984) and the Toronto Alexithymia Scale-20 Questionnaire (1994). Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 24 and univariate and multivariate analysis of covariance. The results of the research showed that the scores of quality of life and coping strategies of the experimental group were significantly higher and the scores of alexithymia were significantly lower (P<0.05) in the post-test stage compared to the control group. These findings, suggest that emotion regulation training is a suitable way to improve the quality of life, coping strategies and alexithymia in mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder, and can be used as an intervention with empirical evidence in psychological clinics.
