The aim of this study was to investigate the role of positive psychology interventions on emotion control and treatment of Internet addiction in high school students in Tehran.

The research method was quasi-experimental with pre-test, post-test and follow-up with control group. The population of this study was the second-high school male students in the 5th district of Tehran in the academic year 1401-1400, from which 30 students were selected by purposive sampling method and randomly replaced in two equal groups of 15 people. For data collection, two questionnaires were used: Young Internet Addiction Questionnaire (2003) and Granfsky, Craig and Spinhon (2001) Emotion Control Questionnaire. SPSS software and multivariate analysis of covariance tests were used to analyze the data.

The results showed that positive psychology intervention improved emotion control and reduced Internet addiction in the post-test and follow-up stages.

Considering the positive results of research on the effectiveness of positivist psychology interventions, the use of positivist psychotherapy to improve emotion control is recommended.

Divorce has psychological effects on individuals and families and is a complex phenomenon with various factors. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy in managing emotions and anxiety sensitivity among women considering divorce in Lahijan.

This study used a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test setup, involving both experimental and control groups. The study aimed to investigate women on the brink of divorce in Lahijan. Thirty women were randomly selected from this population and assigned to two groups of fifteen. The experimental group underwent ten ninety-minute sessions of acceptance and commitment therapy, while the control group did not receive any training. Both groups completed the Emotion Control and Anxiety Sensitivity Questionnaire before and after the intervention. The data were analyzed using analysis of covariance.

Based on the research findings, it has been observed that there is a notable distinction between the training and control groups in terms of negative emotions and anxiety sensitivity. In simpler terms, the training centered around acceptance and commitment has diminished the management of emotions and anxiety sensitivity in women on the brink of divorce.

According to the results, the treatment based on acceptance and commitment to control the emotions and anxiety sensitivity of women on the verge of divorce is effective. This treatment can be used to help women in controlling their emotions and anxiety sensitivity during this challenging time.

Teaching life skills to children and adolescents is one of the key responsibilities of the education systems and families. Synectics teaching method is a new training approach to enhance creativity in individuals. These exercises are designed to enable the person to use creativity to understand metaphors and analogies for creating new (“groundbreaking”) alternatives. The present study aimed to assess the effectiveness of life skills training using the Synectics method on social tolerance, wisdom, and emotion control in junior high school male students.

The statistical population in this quasi-experimental study included all the first-year high school male students (n=5,000) in Hamadan, Iran, of whom 50 students (2 groups of 25 students) were selected using a multi-stage cluster sampling method. Social tolerance, wisdom, and emotion control questionnaires were used to collect data. The multivariate analysis of covariance and Scheffé’s post hoc test were used to analyze the collected data.

Based on the obtained results from Scheffé's test, the mean post-test scores in the group who were trained in social tolerance, wisdom, and emotion control for anger control, positive emotion control, depressed mood control, and adolescent anxiety control, using the Synectics method, were higher than the control group by 10.08, 28.16, 12.32,1.8, 11.64 and 96.13 scores, respectively.

Teaching life skills through Synectics method is considered an effective method in improving social tolerance, wisdom, and emotion control of adolescents, and it is suggested to use this method in designing educational interventions.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder ADHD is the most common psychiatric disorder that begins in childhood and is an important public mental health issue. Family therapy focuses on hyperactivity-attention deficit disorder to help families develop organizational patterns for effective coping and management of the child. This study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of mindfulness and metacognition therapy on family functioning, emotional control and emotional empathy of mothers with children with ADHD. The present study was an applied and quasi-experimental study with three groups of 16 tests as pretest-posttest. The statistical population of this study was the mothers of kindergartens in Bojnourd. From the statistical population, 48 people were selected by purposive sampling method and randomly assigned to two experimental groups. Initially, a pre-test was taken from both groups, which included a revised social problem-solving questionnaire, an emotional control questionnaire, and an empathy questionnaire. The results show that after adjusting the pre-test means, there is a significant difference between the means of the experimental and control groups in the post-test. In other words, the treatment of mindfulness and metacognition has improved family functioning, empathy and emotional control of mothers with hyperactive children and has had a positive effect on them. In general, according to the obtained results, it can be stated that the treatment methods have been effective on the studied variables.

Today, adolescent women and girls live in a complex and challenging world compared to the past due to social, geographical, cultural, and economic evolution, and consequently, their social needs and desires have changed. Adolescence is one of the most influential and important stages in a person's life. It is associated with psychological and physical changes. One of the prevalent and high–risk behaviors, which is more prevalent in adolescence, is self–harming. This behavior can have numerous psychological and physical consequences for individuals and society; most people do not approve of it. This study aimed to determine the pattern of social skills, communication, and controlling emotion with self–harm in women aged 25–20, considering the mediating role of depression and experience of violence.

The method of the present study was descriptive–analytical using structural equation modeling. The statistical population comprised all women aged 20–25 years living in Karaj City, Iran, in 2020. Of whom 350 were enrolled in the study by purposeful sampling according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. After a complete and clear explanation of the study objectives and procedure and observing ethical considerations such as confidentiality of samples' information and names, the researcher asked the participants to answer the questionnaires carefully. The inclusion criteria were as follows: having normal intelligence, willingness and informed consent to cooperate and participate in research, and having self–harm behaviors at a significant level based on Self–Harm Inventory results (Sansone & Sansone, 2010). The exclusion criterion was not answering the questions accurately. To collect data, we used Self–Harm Inventory (Sansone & Sansone, 2010), Beck Depression Inventory (Beck et al., 1996), the Teenagers Social Skills Inventory (Inderbitzen & Foster, 1992), Emotion Control Questionnaire (Roger & Najarian, 1989), and Violence against Women Inventory (Haj–Yahia, 2003). The proposed model was evaluated by structural equation modeling using SPSS26 and AMOS24 software at a significance level 0.05. The bootstrap method was used to analyze the intermediate relationships.

Results showed that social skills (p<0.001, β=–0.450) and emotional control (p=0.003, β=–0.183) had direct and negative effects on self–harm. Also, depression (p<0.001, β=0.440) and the experience of violence (p<0.001, β=0.372) had positive and direct effects on self–harm. The indirect effects of social skills on self–harm with the mediating role of depression and experience of violence were –0.244 and –0.2812, respectively (p<0.001). The indirect effects of emotional control on self–harm with the mediating role of depression and experience of violence were –0.1628 (p<0.001) and –0.0962 (p=0.003), respectively. In addition, good fit indices supported the optimal fit of the model with the collected data (PCFI=0.545, PNFI=0.530, χ2/df=2.82, RMSEA=0.072, IFI=0.908, CFI=0.907 and GFI=0.911).

Based on the results of the present study, it is possible to identify some predictive conditions of self–harming behaviors in women. By strengthening social skills and emotion control, it is possible to reduce self–harming behaviors in women, and depression and the experience of violence weaken this relationship. Considering these conditions, measures can be taken to reduce self–harming behaviors in women.

Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a developmental neurological disorder that is described by three main characteristics: Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder and Impulsivity. The symptoms often create impairments in one or more major areas of the person’s life, especially in those cognitive areas that require levels of attention and concentration ، decision making and flexibility. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of cognitive rehabilitation on executive functions (decision making, flexibility, emotion control) in children with ADHD.

The present study is a semi experimental study, designed with pre-test / post-test clinical trial and a control group. It was diagnosed and matched with the Raven Intelligence Test using the CSI-4 Diagnostic Test and selected by purposive sampling. Sample was randomly divided into the experimental and control groups. Children in the Experimental group were given 10 one hourly sessions of rehabilitation program each week .Response inhibition was measured using Wisconsin and Planned with Bariff test.

Pre and Post test scores were significantly different in measures of executive functions (both decision making, flexibility, emotion control) in children with ADHD (P <0/001).

Training on cognitive rehabilitation appears to be effective in improving the executive functions (decision making, flexibility, emotional) of children with ADHD and can be offered as an appropriate replacement against the effects of psycho stimulants medications.

Epilepsy is one of the most common chronic neurological disorders in children, characterized by frequent seizures caused by abnormal brain secretions. Children with epilepsy cannot manage themselves independently and need more intensive care from their caregivers than adult patients, and this problem puts a heavy burden on parents, especially mothers. Caring for children with epilepsy is very challenging and stressful. Also, symptoms and disabilities associated with neurological conditions majorly impact on individuals, families and caregivers. Studies have shown that, among different treatment approaches, dialectical behavior therapy plays a significant role in achieving behavioral and emotional stability, as well as the functioning of the mother and the family with a child suffering from neurodevelopmental and chronic disorders. So, the present study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of dialectical behavior therapy on the emotional control and resilience of mothers of children with epilepsy.

The present research was a quasi–experimental study with a pretest–posttest and a two–month follow–up design with a control group. The statistical population of the present study consisted of all mothers of children with epilepsy who were referred to Poursina Medical and Educational Center in Rasht City, Iran, in 2021. Of whom 32 mothers were voluntarily selected by the convenience sampling method considering the inclusion criteria. After acquiring their informed consent, they were assigned to a dialectical behavior therapy and a control group (16 people in each group) by random method (lottery). The study data were gathered via Emotion Control Questionnaire (Roger and Najarian, 1989) and Conner–Davidson Resilience Scale (Conner & Davidson, 2003). To perform the therapeutic intervention, Marsha Linehan's dialectical behavior therapy (1970) was implemented for the experimental group in 10 sessions (one session per week for 120 minutes) and at the same time, the control group did not undergo any type of psychotherapy intervention. Data analysis was done using SPSS version 26 software. In descriptive statistics, mean and standard deviation were used. At the level of inferential statistics, the Chi–square test, variance analysis test with repeated measurements and Bonferroni post hoc test were used. The significance level of the tests was 0.05.

Results showed that the group effect (p<0.001), time effect (p<0.001), and group and time interaction effect (p<0.001) on emotional control variable and its components (emotional inhibition, aggression control, non–rumination, benign control) and resilience variable were significant. The posttest and follow–up scores of the emotion control variable and its components (emotional inhibition, aggression control, non–rumination, benign control) and the resilience variable in the experimental group increased significantly compared to the pretest scores (p<0.001). However, there was no significant difference between the scores of the control group at different times in mentioned variables (p>0.05). Also, regarding the emotion control variable and its components (emotional inhibition, aggression control, non–rumination, benign control) and the resilience variable, no significant differences were observed between the posttest and follow–up scores of the mentioned variables, which indicated the lasting effect of the intervention in the follow–up phase (p>0.05).

According to the findings, dialectical behavior therapy effectively increases the emotional control and resilience of mothers of children with epilepsy. Therefore, counselors and therapists can use dialectical behavior therapy to improve and increase emotional control and resilience of mothers of children with epilepsy or similar diseases.

Today, cancer as the most important cause of human mortality has received much attention in the world so that it has a large number of psychological studies. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of positive psychotherapy on accepting pain and controlling the emotions of cancer patients.

This study was a randomized clinical trial with a pretest-posttest and follow-up. The statistical population of this study consisted of men with cancer in Kohgiluyeh city in 2018-2019. The statistical sample consisted of 26 cancer patients who were purposefully selected and randomly divided into two groups of positive psychotherapy (13 patients) and the control group (13 patients). The McCracken & Walls scale was used to collect data to measure pain acceptance and the Williams & Chambers scale was used to measure emotion control. The experimental group received positive positivity during eight 90-minute sessions of psychotherapy, but the control group did not receive any intervention. Data were analyzed using MANCOVA and ANCOVA analysis in SPSS-25 software.

The results showed that positive psychotherapy was effective on pain tendency, active participation, and the overall score of acceptance of pain, anger, depressed mood, anxiety, positive emotion, and the overall score of emotion control in the post-test phase (P <0.05), but persistence had no effect (p>0.05).

 Positive psychotherapy is effective in accepting pain and controlling the emotions of cancer patients and psychologists can use the results of the present study for therapeutic interventions based on positive psychotherapy to increase pain acceptance and control the emotions of cancer patients.

The issue of this study is whether mindfulness-based stress reduction affects the increase in emotional control in individuals who are prone to self-harm without intention to commit suicide?   The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of mindfulness based on stress reduction on increasing emotional control in students who are prone to self-harm without intention to commit suicide in Tehran. In this study, a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test with control group was used. The statistical population of this study consisted of all high school students of first grade girls' school (Mehr) in Tehran in the school year of 97-98 who showed self-harm behavior using the intentional self-harm questionnaire Graz (2001), which included 53 people. The sample size was 48 people using Cochran formula which were selected by stratified sampling. But in the end, 40 of them were elected. Data were collected using the Intentional Self-Injury Questionnaire (DSHI) and the Emotional Control Questionnaire (ECQ). Using multivariate covariance method in Spss software between the experimental and control groups in the component of emotional inhibition (p = 0.000) and (F = 68.828), aggression control component (p = 0.000) and There were significant differences (F = 233.658), rumination component (p = 0.000) and (F = 344.261), benign inhibition component (p = 0.000) and (F = 398.348). This means that mindfulness can enhance all components of emotion control in individuals who are prone to self-harm without intention.

The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of patients' ability to comprehend, express and control emotions in the relationship between cognitive executive functions and patients’ belief in their abilities regardless of pain called pain self-efficacy. This study was a correlational one, in which 115 patients undergoing hemodialysis were selected through convenience sampling from three dialysis centers in Qom province from 2016 to 2017. The subjects completed emotion control, pain self-efficacy and cognitive executive functions scales. Data were analyzed by calculating Pearson correlation coefficient, multiple regression and path analysis. The results showed that there is a correlation between pain self-efficacy and cognitive executive functions as a latent variable. There is a direct significant relationship between cognitive executive functions and emotion control. The total score of emotion control has a meaningful relationship with numerical memory score and vocabulary range. Emotion control has a direct and significant effect on pain self-efficacy. The direct and indirect effects of cognitive executive functions on self-efficacy are positive and significant. Pain self-efficacy has a negative and significant relationship with the total score of emotion control (r = 0.339). The pain self-efficacy variable has a negative and significant relationship with the subscales of anger and depressed mood (one of the subscales of emotion control). The results of this study confirm the importance of emotion control as a mediator variable between cognitive executive functions and pain self-efficacy. As a result, using cognitive rehabilitation programs and increased awareness of dialysis patients regarding their emotions can contribute to the development of positive emotions and higher self-efficacy in these patients.

First degree murder as a dangerous social phenomenon can threat the safety of society and families. Examination its origins and effective factors can be helpful to prevent the broad prevalence of this destructive phenomenon. Therefore, the present study aimed to compare the emotion control and executive functions between criminals and none-criminals.
