Internet addiction is common among teenagers and is associated with various negative consequences. The present study aimed to determine the role of dysfunctional attitudes and emotion dysregulation in predicting the addictive use of the internet in adolescents by presenting an approach based on artificial neural network.

In this descriptive study, the statistical population included all male students of the second year of high school studying in public schools in Ardabil City in the academic year of 2023. From this population, a sample of 264 people was selected using the multistage cluster random sampling method and answered the questionnaires of Internet Addiction, Emotion Dysregulation, and Dysfunctional Attitudes. Data were analyzed using artificial neural network with multilayer perceptron method (MPL).

The results of the analysis showed that dysfunctional attitudes and emotion dysregulation play a role in predicting the addictive use of the internet in adolescents, and the artificial neural network model is able to predict well the jumps and trends of internet addiction from the variables of dysfunctional attitudes and emotion dysregulation.

In general, the results of this research suggested that dysfunctional attitudes and emotion dysregulation have a significant relationship with internet addiction. From the practical point of view, professional psychological training and interventions can improve dysfunctional attitudes, irrational cognition of self and others, and emotion dysregulation.

While a variety of emotional, personality, cognitive, and behavioral factors are linked to sleep quality during adolescence, a comprehensive understanding of these factors remains elusive.

The present study aimed to explore the mediating role of adaptive and maladaptive emotion regulation strategies in the relationship between anxiety sensitivity, neuroticism, dysfunctional attitudes towards sleep, and sleep quality among second-year high school adolescents.

The statistical population of this correlational study, which employed structural equation modeling, consisted of all second-year high school students (boys and girls) in Damghan, Iran, during the 2020-2021 academic year. A sample of 329 adolescents was selected through a multi-stage cluster sampling method. To measure the variables under study, the Dysfunctional Beliefs and Attitudes about Sleep Scale (1993), the Anxiety Sensitivity Index (1986), the Children's Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (2003), and the Sleep Quality Questionnaire (1989) were administered. The collected data was analyzed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient test and structural equation modeling in SPSS-22 and AMOS-24.

The present results indicated the good fit of the research model for the data. Both adaptive and maladaptive emotion regulation strategies were found to mediate the relationship between the sleep quality of adolescents and anxiety sensitivity, neuroticism, and dysfunctional attitudes and beliefs about sleep (P<0.001).

According to the findings, neuroticism, anxiety sensitivity, and maladaptive emotion regulation strategies are linked to a poor sleep quality. Conversely, adaptive emotion regulation strategies are associated with a higher sleep quality. Emotion regulation strategies were found to mediate the relationship between sleep quality and factors, such as anxiety sensitivity, neuroticism, and dysfunctional attitudes and beliefs about sleep. Mental health professionals are advised to consider the components examined in this study as they can play a crucial role in enhancing the sleep quality of adolscentse.

Mental Disorders Symptoms is associated with numerous personal and social consequences. Therefore, present study was aimed to investigate the relationship between Secular Attachment [SA], Trust in God [TG] and Dysfunctional Attitudes [DA] with the mental disorders symptoms.

The population included Jahrom University Students, from whom 300 (191 women and 109 men) were selected through cluster random sampling method. Research instrument were Attachment Scale, Trust in God Questionnaire, Dysfunctional Attitude (DAS-40) and Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI-53). The data were analyzed using descriptive and multiple regression methods.

The result showed that SA and DA can significantly and positively and TG can significantly and negatively predict the severity of all mental disorders symptoms. SA showed higher power than DA in predicting symptoms of Obsessive-compulsive, Somatic Symptom, Anxiety, Hostility, Phobic anxiety, Paranoid ideation and Psychoticism with coefficient variance was .24, .07, .25, .18, .32 and .21 respectively. Also TG showed higher power than DA in predict symptoms of Somatic Symptom and Depression.

According to the results, the quality of belief and attitude towards God and Secular Attachment has a significant relationship with psychological disorders symptoms, therefore, considering and modifications these components, is important issue in the process of evaluation, prevention and treatment.

At the end of December 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei Province, the corona virus disease spread rapidly throughout China. The beginning of 2020 brought a new challenge to mankind, which was the corona virus or the Covid-19 virus, and it became a global health threat. Corona virus disease is caused by severe acute respiratory disease. The acute syndrome of the corona virus is an epidemic that affects all people and Covid-19 has had a serious impact on thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Research demonstrated that mindfulness-based training can effectively relieve the negative psychological consequences of the outbreak of Covid-19 and help restore well-being, especially for the most vulnerable people. Mindfulness has made people better cope with quarantine conditions and the Covid-19 pandemic. Mindfulness training can direct attention to breathing and keep people away from negative emotions such as anxiety, depression and fear during the corona epidemic. Mindfulness is caused that individual recognize gradually their mind and thinking styles which are come regularly and habitually and also other benefits of mindfulness is to increase their patience, appreciating and awareness of their body.  The purpose of the present research was to investigate the effectiveness if mindfulness therapy on dysfunctional attitudes, of Covid-19.

For the present quasi-experimental study, which was performed with a pre-test-post-test design, among Covid – 19 patients with an age range of 18 to 60 years who were living in Isfahan city in the year 2020. The statistical sample of the current research consisted of 30 people who recovered from corona disease living in Isfahan city in 2020 and among them 30 people who got corona virus were selected through convenience sampling on the purpose based on the entry criteria and were randomly placed in to two experimental and control groups. In each group, there were 15 people, 9 men and 6 women in the experimental group and 5 men and 10 women in the control group. To collect the data Dysfunctional Attitude Scale (Wiseman and Beck, 1987) was used and the Mindfulness Therapy Program Intervention was applied and the treatment protocol used in the present study consisted of eight 120-minute sessions, which have been studied in various studies according to Kabat-Zinn et al.'s (1990) protocol, and the results indicated the effectiveness of mindfulness therapy on ineffective attitudes. Finally, in the current research, in addition to using descriptive indices including frequency, mean and standard deviation, inferential statistics were used to examine hypotheses from univariate covariance analysis using SPSS version 20 software at a significance level of p<0.05 for statistical analysis of data.

The results of ANCOVA analysis showed that there was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in ineffective attitudes (P=0.005), in the post-test stage. Therefore, it can be concluded that the mindfulness treatment program has reduced dysfunctional attitudes in the experimental group compared to the control group. The calculated effect size or eta squared value indicates that 26% of the changes in ineffective attitudes scores were due to the effect of the independent variable (implementation of the mindfulness treatment program).

According to the results obtained from the research findings, it can be stated that the hypothesis of the research was confirmed that eight sessions of the treatment of mindfulness has been effective in reducing dysfunctional attitudes of Covid – 19 patients. The current research, like other researches, has limitations, including the method of data collection online and virtual. The limitation of the equal number of demographic information in each group of samples and treatment follow-up can be mentioned as limitations of the research. The age range of 18 to 60 was one of the criteria for entering the research, and the findings of the results cannot be generalized to those under 18 and over 60. In the current research, only the effectiveness of mindfulness has been investigated, so other treatment approaches have not been investigated. Since the present study was conducted using a quasi-experimental study design, it may also be one of the important beginnings for other studies in the future and critical situations. The present study has practical implications for counselors, psychotherapists, educational management and policy makers. In order to confirm or not confirm the long-term effectiveness of the training given in connection with the consequences of Corona, more research should be done by other researchers. It is also suggested that the effectiveness of this treatment approach should be followed up for several months. It is suggested that the effectiveness of mindfulness on other variables such as psychological well-being, quality of life, mental health, spontaneous thoughts, and styles of coping with stress and fear of corona should be done. The results of the research are useful and practical as a non-drug treatment for people in the corona and post-corona period. Therefore, mental health professionals are advised to pay special attention to dysfunctional attitudes and coping strategies and plan to prevent and reduce the complications and risks of dysfunctional attitudes. A variety of face-to-face and online training and treatment programs are recommended by mental health experts to reduce dysfunctional attitudes for healthy people, infected with Corona, and people who have experienced bereavement caused by Corona.  Since there are parts of the country without access to the Internet and mobile phones, and also elderly people may lack the necessary skills to use smartphones, therefore, it is necessary to take appropriate measures along with the observance of health protocols.

Marriage is established with the hope of belonging, being protected, and having security. Therefore, marital adjustment and its dimensions are discussed in family and marital studies. Another contributing factor to the success or failure of marriage is individuals’ viewpoints concerning the marriage process and choosing a spouse. Dysfunctional attitudes are cognitive attributes that address the vulnerability, persistence, and recurrence of family differences. A psychotherapy method that has been recently widely used is cognitive–behavioral therapy. This treatment is a combination of cognitive and behavioral therapies that have long been used to treat psychological disorders. Accordingly, the present study aimed to investigate the effects of Cognitive–Behavioral Couple Therapy (CBCT) on dysfunctional attitudes and marital adjustment in married students.

This was a quasi–experimental study with a pretest–posttest and a control group design. The statistical population of the study consisted of married students referring to counseling centers in Kerman City, Iran, in 2019 (N=120 in the 2–month research course). Using the purposive sampling approach, 30 couples (60 individuals) were selected; after matching, they were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. The inclusion criteria of the research were the age range of 20–50 years, studying at the university, and the presence of both spouses in all stages of the research. The exclusion criteria of the study included receiving medical and psychological therapies in the past 6 months, substance or alcohol abuse, presenting a personality and psychological disorders, and simultaneously receiving counseling and psychotherapy interventions. Meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the study was approved by the technical officials of the counseling centers. Initially, 30 student couples were selected based on the lowest scores obtained on the Dyadic Adjustment Scale (Spanier, 1976) and the highest scores achieved on the Dysfunctional Attitudes Scale (Weissman & Beck, 1978). The experimental group received 12 CBCT sessions according to the package of Khanjani Veshki et al. (2017); however, the controls received no intervention. The study measurement tools were administered in the study groups after providing the intervention. The obtained data were analyzed using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) in SPSS at the significance level of 0.05.

The current research results suggested that CBCT reduced dysfunctional attitudes (p<0.001) and increased marital adjustment and its components, including bipartite agreement, the expression of love, and marital satisfaction in the study participants (p<0.001).

According to the collected results, CBCT was effective in reducing dysfunctional attitudes and increasing marital adjustment (bipartite agreement, the expression of love, & marital satisfaction) among the explored married couples. Thus, this treatment method can be used as an effective technique for couples seeking divorce and couples whose intimacy and marital satisfaction have decreased.

Major depression is one of the most common psychological disorders that affects a personchr('39')s performance and has several negative side effects. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of "Acceptance and Commitment Therapy " on emotion regulation strategies, dysfunctional attitudes and resilience in people with major depression.

The study was a quasi-experimental study with pre-test, post-test and follow-up and a control group. The statistical population included people with major depression who referred to counseling centers and psychological services in Sari. 30 people were selected by simple random sampling replaced in the intervention group (15 people) and control group (15 people). In order to collect data demographic questionnaire, "Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire", "Dysfunctional Attitude Scale" and "Connor ‐ Davidson Resilience Scale" were used. The validity of the instruments was assessed through the construct validity of confirmatory factor analysis and the reliability of the instruments by Cronbachchr('39')s alpha coefficient. Data were analyzed using SPSS .21.

"Acceptance and Commitment Therapy" is effective in improving emotion regulation strategies, dysfunctional attitudes and resilience in people with major depression (P <0.05).

Emotion regulation strategies, dysfunctional attitudes, and resilience in people with major depression can be modified through "Acceptance and Commitment Therapy". It is suggested that education based on this treatment be conducted with the aim of empowering and promoting the mental health of people with depression in counseling and psychotherapy centers.

Increasing marital adjustment along with improving dysfunctional attitudes will increase the vitality and satisfaction of the couplechr('39')s emotional-psychological needs. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of acceptance and commitment therapy on marital adjustment and dysfunctional attitudes among married students.

The research method was experimental and pre-test, post-test with a control group. The statistical population of the study consisted of married students referred to private counseling centers in Kerman city. The sampling method was purposive and 30 couples (60 individuals) were selected and assigned to an experimental and control group randomly. The experimental groups were treated in 12 sessions with 90 minutes once a week, but no action was taken for the control group. Spanier Marital Adjustment Inventory (1976) and Weisman & Beckchr('39')s dysfunctional attitude Inventory (1978) were used before and after treatment and training. Data were analyzed using analysis of covariance in SPSS 19. The significance level was considered 0.01.

Mean and standard deviation of marital adjustment in the pretest in the experimental and control groups were 61.9±6.30 and 60.10 ± 5.07 and in the posttest were 86.86±8.21 and 60.09±6.34. Also, the mean and standard deviation in the variable of dysfunctional attitudes in the pre-test in the experimental and control groups were 104.16±8.97 and 103.15±​​9.52 and in the post-test were 97.16 ± 7.50 and 102/15 ± 8/89. Therefore, in the experimental group, the score of marital adjustment was significantly different compared to the control group (p <0.01), but there was no significant difference in the variable of dysfunctional attitudes (p <0.01).

Acceptance and commitment based treatment method increases the level of marital adjustment and this technique can be used to improve the relationship between married students and raise the level of mental health of the family and society. However, more research is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of group-based acceptance and commitment therapy on dysfunctional attitudes.

Patients with multiple sclerosis usually experience a wide range of psychological problems. This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of spiritual health in the relationship of irrational beliefs and dysfunctional attitudes with psychological well-being in the patient with multiple sclerosis by the Structural equation modeling approach.

This study was a correlational – descriptive design based on structural equation modeling. The study population consisted of all patients with multiple sclerosis who referring to the Iranian Multiple Sclerosis Association in 2017. 120 patients were selected by the available sampling method. Instruments for gathering data were Irrational beliefs questionnaire (Jones, 1986), dysfunctional attitude scale (Weissman & Beck, 1978), Spiritual Well-Being Scale from Paloutzian and Ellison (1982) and psychological wellbeing scale (Reef, 2002). Then, the data were analyzed using SPSS and Lisrel software and statistical tests such as Regression Analysis and Path Analysis.

Results showed that irrational beliefs and dysfunctional attitudes have a negative and direct effect on psychological well-being and spiritual health has a positive and direct effect on psychological well-being in the patient with multiple sclerosis. Also, the results of path analysis indicated that spiritual health have a mediating role in the relationship between irrational beliefs with psychological well-being, but the mediating the role of spiritual health in the relationship between irrational beliefs and psychological well-being was not significant.

It seems that designing training interventions based on irrational beliefs, dysfunctional attitudes, and spiritual health can increase the probability of psychological well-being among patients with multiple sclerosis.

The purpose of the present research was to study the effectiveness of cognitive behavior therapy with positive imagination of health on dysfunctional attitudes on primary hypertension in patients with dysfunctional attitudes and primary hypertension. Subjects and

The sample of the study included 40 subjects with primary hypertension (22 females and 18 males) who referred to specialist clinics in Ahwaz. They were matched of age, educational status and other criteria considered in this research, then randomly divided into two groups as experimental and control. We administered Beck and Wizeman Dysfunctional Attitudes Scale (DAS). Twelve sessions of cognitive behavior therapy with positive imagination of health for experimental group only. Finally, all subjects of two groups were assessed from dysfunctional attitudes and primary hypertension in posttest and follow up.

The results revealed that there was a significant difference between two groups in dysfunctional attitudes and primary hypertension at posttest and follow up (P<0.001). The rate of dysfunctional attitudes and primary hypertension in the experimental group were significantly decreased compared to the pretest and control group. These results persisted significantly during the follow-up period. Also, by controlling the duration of the disease, there was a significant difference between experimental and control group in terms of dysfunctional attitudes and primary hypertension, but in terms of primary hypertension, no significant difference was observed. This result suggests that the duration of the disease has no effect on the rate of dysfunctional attitudes, but does affect the primary hypertension of the groups in the follow-up period.

The results of this study suggest that cognitive behavior therapy with positive imagination of health significantly decreased the dysfunctional attitudes and primary hypertension, therefore using cognitive behavior therapy with positive imagination of health in high hypertension patients is recommended.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of spirituality-based acceptance and commitment therapy on depression and dysfunctional attitudes of patients with multiple sclerosis.

For this purpose, in a quasiexperimental study with pre-test, post-test and control group, 30 patients with multiple sclerosis were selected by recall and available sampling method and randomly divided into control and experimental groups. Were replaced. The intervention was performed in 8 sessions and each session lasted 60 minutes on the experimental group. Groups were evaluated for depression and dysfunctional attitudes before and after the intervention.

The results of analysis of covariance showed that acceptance and commitment treatment had a significant effect on increasing depression and dysfunctional attitudes in patients with multiple sclerosis (P <0.05).

The results of this study support the effect of acceptance and commitment therapy in improving the level of depression and dysfunctional attitudes of patients with multiple sclerosis.
