The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of delayed discounting model of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy on delayed reward discounting, impulsivity, and sensation seeking in individuals with substance use disorders.

This study was a semi-experimental research conducted in the form of pretest-posttest and follow-up stage with control group. The statistical population included patients with substance use in Sanandaj clinics in 2018-2019. Among them, 40 patients with substance use were selected through convenience sampling method and were randomly placed into the experimental and control groups (20 individuals in the experimental and 20 individuals in the control group). In this study, the monetary-choice questionnaire (Karbay et al., 1999), the Barratt impulsivity scale (Barratt et al., 1997), and the Zuckerman sensation seeking scale (Zuckerman, 1978) were used. After administering pretest, the experimental group received mindfulness-based cognitive therapy during eight ninety-minute sessions in eight weeks, while the control group received no intervention. At the end of the treatment sessions, post-test was performed in both groups. After 45 days, the follow-up test was also administered. Data were analyzed via mixed analysis of variances.

The results showed that the intervention of delayed discounting model of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy reduced delayed reward discounting, impulsivity, and sensation seeking in individuals with substance use disorders and the effects of this intervention was lasting over time.

The results of the current study showed that delayed discounting model of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is an effective strategy to improve the symptoms of delayed reward discounting, impulsivity, and sensation seeking in patients with substance use disorders and can be used as an effective therapeutic approach.

The aim of this study was to examine the diagnostic role of delayed reward discounting and cognitive emotion regulation strategies in people with stimulant abuse, opiate abuse, and smoking disorders.
In the form of a causal-comparative research design, 45 patients with opioid use, 45 patients stimulant use, and 45 patients with smoking were selected via convenience sampling method from among the clients with stimulant use, opioid use, and smoking. These participants were evaluated through Monetary-Choice Questionnaire (Kirby, Petry, & Bickel, 1999) and Short Form of Emotional Cognitive Ordering Strategies (Hassani, 2011). Diagnostic function analysis was used to analyze the data.
The results of diagnostic function with two variables of delayed reward discounting and cognitive emotion regulation strategies could correctly group 93.3% of stimulant abusers, 88.9% opiate abusers, and 86.4% of smokers; in other words, 89.6% of all participants were classified correctly.
Delayed reward discounting and cognitive emotion regulation strategies made a significant contribution to the diagnosis of and differentiation among the three groups of stimulant abusers, opioid abusers, and smokers. Therefore, it is recommended that these factors be considered in the prevention and treatment programs associated with these three disorders.

One of the most important problems in global health in recent years, the high prevalence of substance use disorders and addiction. Psychological factors in vulnerability, aggravation, relapse and craving these disorders have a significant role. In this context, the aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic role of delayed reward discounting and sensation seeking in substance use stimulant and opiate disorders.
this study was a causal-comparative research design. The target population included all patients with stimulant, opiate disorders that referred to medical centers, 90 persons (stimulant: 45, opiate: 45), were selected by purposive sampling method, completed the Monetary-Choice Questionnaire, Sensation Seeking Scale Form V. Data were analyzed with the diagnostic analysis.
Findings: diagnostic Analysis with delayed reward discounting and sensation seeking variables showed that 86/66 percent of stimulants and 84/44 percent of opiates classified correctly.
Discussion & delayed reward discounting and sensation seeking rolled in differentiation and diagnosis of stimulant and opiate groups significantly. Therefore, it’s recommended that in prevention and treatment programs associated with these two disorders will be pay special attention to these factors.
