This study aims to compare the effectiveness of Internet-based cognitive-behavioral therapy and emotion-focused therapy on ambiguity tolerance and threat sensitivity in married women with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

The research design was quasi-experimental with pre-test, post-test, and control group. The statistical population consisted of all married female patients suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder who were referred to one of the psychological and psychiatric counseling and services centers in Pars-Abad city of Ardabil province for treatment between July and October of 2021. among which 45 were randomly selected by purposeful sampling in the groups receiving Internet-based cognitive-behavioral therapy (15 people), emotion-focused therapy (15 people), and the control group (15 people). Data collection tools were: Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Scale, Ambiguity Tolerance Scale, and Threat Sensitivity Questionnaire. Each interventional treatment was performed during 8 weekly sessions, and the control group did not receive any specific treatment during this period of time. The data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA).

The results showed that cognitive-behavioral therapy based on the Internet and focused on emotion was effective on ambiguity tolerance and threat sensitivity in married women with obsessive-compulsive disorder (P<0.05). Moreover, there is no significant difference between the effectiveness of these two treatment methods (P<0.05).

The results have potentially significant practical effects for specialists and therapists to pay attention to the effectiveness of treatment methods used in improving the consequences of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the mediating role of Intolerance of Uncertainty (IU) in the relationship between maladaptive perfectionism and Sensitivity to threat with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), using structural equation modeling (SEM). The research design was descriptive-correlation study. The participants were 586 students of Islamic Azad University Tabriz Branch, University of Tabriz and Azarbaijan Shahid Madani University in Iran. They were selected using cluster sampling method. Data were collected by Obsessive Compulsive Inventory Revised (OCI-R), Frost Perfectionism Scale, BIS/BAS scales, and Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale. SEM confirmed the proposed model (χ2 /df = 2.32, RMSEA = 0.05, CFI = 0.95, GFI = 0.94, AGFI = 0.92) and indicated that maladaptive perfectionism and Sensitivity to threat with standardized coefficients of 0.32 and 0.38, respectively, have a significant effect on OCD by the mediation of IU at the P˂0.05 level. The findings, supporting the theoretical model, proposes a suitable framework for psychopathology of the disorder that emphasizes high maladaptive perfectionism and high sensitivity to threat by the mediation of IU due OCD. These findings, can be useful in developing etiology and efficacious therapeutic interventions for OCD.

The aime of this study was to investigate a transdiagnostic model for explaining comorbidity between anxiety and depression based on the overcontrolling, sensivity to reward and sensivity to threat.The participants were 586 students of Islamic Azad University Tabriz Branch, University of Tabriz and Azarbaijan Shahid Madani University in Iran. Data were collected by Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21), Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (AAQ-II), behavioural inhibtion/Behavioural activation scale (BAS/BIS), Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale (IUS), Ambivalence over Emotional Expression Questionnaire (AEQ) and Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (FMPS). Sensitivity to reward with overcontrolling mediation affects anxiety and depression with standard coefficients of -0.29 and -0.36. Also, sensitivity to threat with standardized coefficients of 0.31 and 0.39, respectively, have a significant effect on anxiety and depression by the mediation of overcontrolling. Our findings proposes a suitable framework for explaining comorbidity between depression and anxiety. Low sensitivity to reward and high sensitivity to threat by the mediation role of overcontrolling could predict comorbidity between anxiety and depression. These findings can be useful in understanding the etiology of comorbid emotional disorders, and developing  efficacious therapeutic interventions and prevention of  comorbid emotional disorders.

The objective of this study were to investigate Lynch’s theory of psychopathology with regard to depression. students from three universities in Tehran (n= 521) was selected by convenience sampling method. The measures used in this study were negative temperament scale of Schedule of Non-adaptive and Adaptive Personality, Temporal Experience of Pleasure Scale, maladaptive perfectionism subscales of Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale, Ambivalence over Emotional Expressiveness Questionnaire, Personal Need for Structure Scale, Inventory of Interpersonal Problems, Social Safeness and Pleasure Scale and Beck Depression Inventory. The results showed that the model has good fit with data. Bootstrap analysis also confirmed the mediating role of over-controlling and social disconnectedness. Accordingly, the interaction of sensitivity to threats, sensitivity to rewards and parental perfectionism leads to development of an over-controlling coping style; this coping style leads to disturbance in social connectedness and subsequently to depression. Therefore, the results of this study support the Lynch’s model of psychopathology for depression.
