The statistical population included all women affected by extramarital relationships who had referred to psychological clinics and specialized marriage centers (under the welfare organization) in Tehran in order to use psychological services in 2021-2022. The statistical sample included 30 of these women who were selected as available. Then, among the research sample, 15 people were randomly replaced in the control group and 30 people in the experimental groups (skills training based on compassion and skills training based on emotion-oriented approach). Data were collected using Floyd et al.'s anxiety sensitivity scale (ASI) (2005). The intervention of teaching skills based on compassion and teaching skills based on emotion-oriented approach were carried out during 8 sessions of 90 minutes once a week; But the control group did not receive any intervention. The research data were analyzed by mixed variance analysis (with repeated measurements). The findings showed that teaching skills based on compassion and teaching skills based on emotion-oriented approach is effective in reducing the anxiety sensitivity of women affected by extramarital relationships.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the mediating role of difficulty in emotion regulation in the relationship between anxiety sensitivity and sense of coherence with readiness to use substances in students.

The study was a descriptive-correlational of structural equation model type. The statistical population of the research included students from Lorestan University, of whom 384 were selected using the convenience sampling. The tools used in this research included the anxiety sensitivity questionnaire, the sense of coherence questionnaire, the difficulty in emotion regulation scale, and the addiction potential scale. To analyze the research model, the structural equation model was used.

The findings showed that anxiety sensitivity and sense of coherence had a direct and significant effect on readiness to use substances. Additionally, difficulty in regulating emotions played a significant mediating role in the relationship between anxiety sensitivity and sense of coherence with readiness to use substances. In general, the results showed that the research model had good fit.

The obtained results show that individuals who are more inclined to use substances exhibit higher levels of anxiety sensitivity and have difficulty regulating emotions, while also demonstrating a lower sense of coherence. Therefore, paying attention to these variables is particularly important in reducing students' susceptibility to substance use.

The present study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of self-compassion treatment on distress tolerance, emotion regulation and anxiety sensitivity in divorced women. It was a quasi-experimental study with pretest, posttest and control group design. The statistical population of the present study all divorced women referring to consultation centers in the city of Tehran in 2017. Non-probable voluntary sampling method and random replacement were used in the present study in a way that 30 people were voluntarily selected and replaced into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received eight ninety-minute sessions during two months while the control group didn’t receive this intervention during conducting the study. The applied questionnaires in the study included emotion cognitive regulation strategies (Garenfski et.al, 2002), emotional distress tolerance scale (Simons and Gaher, 2005) and anxiety sensitivity questionnaire (Floyd, Garfield and Marks, 2005). The data from the study were analyzed through Ancova method via SPSS23 software. The results of data analysis showed that self-compassion treatment has been effective on distress tolerance (f=28/87, p<0/0001), positive emotion regulation (f=41/47, p<0/0001), negative emotion regulation (f=52/79, p<0/0001) and anxiety sensitivity (f=58/28, p<0/0001) in divorced women. According to the findings of the present study, self-compassion treatment can be suggested as an efficient method in order to increase distress tolerance and emotion regulation and decrease anxiety sensitivity in divorced women.

Distress tolerance and anxiety sensitivity are considered traumatic factors for substance use disorders. The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of group counselling based on acceptance and commitment therapy in distress tolerance and anxiety sensitivity among female substance abusers.
A quasi-experimental research method with pretest-posttest/control group research design was used in this study. The statistical population of this study included all the female substance abusers who were in drug rehabilitation centers of Arak city in spring 2016. Thirty female substance abusers were selected via convenience sampling method and were divided into control and experimental groups. Distress Tolerance Scale (DTS) and Anxiety Sensitivity Index (ASI) were used for data collection. The experimental group received eight 60-minute training sessions of ACT. Covariance analysis was used to analyze the data.
The results of data analysis showed that group counselling based on acceptance and commitment therapy increases distress tolerance and reduces anxiety sensitivity in female substance abusers in the experimental group compared with the control group.
Group counselling based on acceptance and commitment therapy can be applied for substance abuse dependent women and it can be used as a psychological intervention alongside medical treatments.
