This study aimed to investigate the role of self-control and interpersonal sensitivity in predicting mood swings among individuals with a history of suicide. Understanding these factors can help in developing better preventive and therapeutic interventions for this population. 

Methods and Materials: 

The study employed a cross-sectional design with a sample of 218 participants from Tehran, selected based on the Morgan and Krejcie table. Data were collected using standardized scales for mood swings, self-control, and interpersonal sensitivity. Pearson correlation was used to examine the relationships between the variables, and linear regression analysis was conducted to assess the predictive power of self-control and interpersonal sensitivity on mood swings. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 27. 

Descriptive statistics revealed mean scores of 28.34 (SD = 6.12) for mood swings, 75.89 (SD = 8.47) for self-control, and 63.23 (SD = 7.98) for interpersonal sensitivity. Pearson correlation analysis showed a significant negative correlation between self-control and mood swings (r = -0.42, p < 0.01) and a significant positive correlation between interpersonal sensitivity and mood swings (r = 0.36, p < 0.01). The regression analysis indicated that both self-control (B = -0.29, p < 0.001) and interpersonal sensitivity (B = 0.22, p < 0.001) were significant predictors of mood swings, explaining 26% of the variance (R² = 0.26). 

The findings suggest that lower self-control and higher interpersonal sensitivity are associated with increased mood swings in individuals with a history of suicide. These results underscore the importance of enhancing self-control and managing interpersonal sensitivity in therapeutic interventions to reduce mood swings and potentially prevent suicidal behaviours in this population.

The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy on mood swings, sleep quality and sexual function in postmenopausal women.

The research method was quasi-experimental type with pre-test and post-test design with experimental and control group. The statistical population of this study was all postmenopausal women referring to health centers in 7 District  of Tehran in the first quarter of 1397. From this community, 30 people were selected and assigned to two experimental and control groups. Thirty women were selected from the statistical population based on the available sampling method, the experimental group was 15 and the control group was 15. The data was collected using a questionnaire by Watson et al. (1988), The woman’s Sexual Function index of Rosen et al (2000). And Pittsburgh sleep Quality index (1989). Then, multivariate analysis of covariance (statistical) Method was used to analyze the data.

The findings showed that acceptance and commitment therapy can improve sexual function, reduce negative mood and sleep Quality in postmenopausal women.

This treatment in contrast to cognitive therapy targets avoidance for their therapies in order to experience rather than control or change the negative assessments and creates a major opening. Therefore, Acceptance and commitment therapy can be used for improving sexual function, improving people's mood and increasing sleep Quality in postmenopausal women.

The aim of this study was to predict the tendency to extramarital affairs based on mood apathy, differentiation and sexual intimacy in cultural women. The present study was descriptive and correlational. The statistical population of this study consisted of all cultural women in Shiraz in the year 99-400. From the statistical population, 381 people were selected by available sampling method and studied using an electronic questionnaire. Data were collected using the Watley (2008) Attitudes Towards Extramarital Relationships Questionnaire, Scorne & Smith (2003) Self-Determination, Bagarozi Sexual Intimacy (2001), and Toronto (1994) Emotional Mood Disorder. After collecting and extracting data, participants' scores were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and multivariate regression and SPSS-24 statistical software. The results showed that there was a significant negative relationship (0.01) between the score of differentiation (emotional reaction, my position, emotional breakdown and fusion with others) and sexual intimacy with the tendency to extramarital affairs and between mood dysphoria and its components (difficulty in diagnosis Emotions, difficulty in describing emotions and thinking with external orientation) have a significant positive relationship with the tendency to extramarital relationships (0.01). The results also showed that differentiation with beta coefficient (-0.16) and sexual intimacy with beta coefficient (-0.36) in a negative and mood dysphoria with beta coefficient (0.13) in a positive, predictive power of tendency Have extramarital affairs in cultural women. According to the results of regression tables, the variables of differentiation, mood dysphoria and sexual intimacy have the ability to predict extramarital relationships.

As a dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy is based on skills training. The present research seeks to study its effectiveness in patients with borderline personality disorder. It used a single case experimental design scheme with multiple baselines on two patients in 20 sessions and an additional one-month follow-up period. Data were collected using Millon Clinical Multitaxial Inventory (MCMI-III), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS) and the Scale of Adult Hope Schneider (SAHS). The treatment significantly reduced mood swings, impulsive behaviors, and sense of emptiness among borderline patients. The results showed that dialectical behavior therapy could be effective in treating patients with borderline personality disorder.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of group cognitive-behavioral training in reducing the symptoms of Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS). To achieve this goal, the cluster sampling method was utilized and 2 kindergartens were randomly selected in District 3 of Tehran. In this district, 60 mothers who suffered from Premenstrual Syndrome were chosen through self-selected sampling and were divided into two experimental and control groups. The experimental group received group cognitive-behavioral training in 10 sessions. The instrumentation consisted of a questionnaire and an observation form adapted from Abraham and Taylor’s Menstural Symptom Questionnaire. The comparison between the two groups, which was drawn at the end of the cognitive-behavioral intervention through the Analysis of Covariance, indicated that the provided training significantly reduced the behavioral symptoms of Premenstrual Syndrome such as stress, mood swings, irritability, trouble sleeping, and food cravings.
