Today, obesity caused by emotional overeating has become a ubiquitous phenomenon with major side effects.

The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment-based group therapy and group schema therapy in emotion regulation difficulties and body mass index (BMI) of obese people with emotional eating.

In this quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest, control group, follow-up design, the population included all men and women, aged 21-50 years, who were referred to the nutrition and obesity clinics of Tehran, Iran, from September 2020 to December 2020. The study sample included 45 obese people with emotional eating, who were selected through convenience sampling among individuals visiting Mehrdadi and Behpouyan nutrition and obesity clinics and randomly assigned to two experimental groups and one control group. The data collection tools were the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (1986), Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale by Gratz and Romer (2004), and BMI measurement. The collected data were analyzed using analysis of covariance and Bonferroni's post-hoc test in SPSS version 24.

Results from Covariance analysis showed that there was a significant difference between the scores of control and experimental groups. Compared to the control group, the experimental groups have improved emotion regulation and reduced body mass index. In addition to results indicated that acceptance and commitment-based group therapy and group schema therapy similarly improved emotion regulation and reduced the BMI of obese people with emotional overeating (P<0.05).

Acceptance and commitment-based group therapy and group schema therapy were effective methods in improving emotion regulation difficulties and reducing the BMI of obese people with emotional eating. So it's suggested to use these methods in the treatment of obese people suffering from emotional overeating.

Having an exceptional child in the family often causes irreparable damage. The vulnerability of the family to this injury is sometimes so great that the family is severely damaged in terms of mental health. Quality of life is a broad concept that encompasses all aspects of life, including health. The term, which is also used in a variety of political, social, and economic contexts, is often used in medical research and is considered by most experts to have different dimensions: physiological, social, physical, and even spiritual. Acceptance and practice therapy has six central processes that lead to psychological flexibility. These six processes are: acceptance, failure, self as context, present communication, recognition of values and action, acceptance and practice therapy Its purpose is not to make a direct change in the client, but to help the client to relate to his or her experiences in different ways and to be able to fully engage in meaningful and value-based loss that seems to be able to help mothers of exceptional children. ; However, and in general, according to the presented principles, mothers with mentally retarded children have many challenges in quality of life and mood that these factors may affect the family structure as well as family relationships and marital issues. Cause problems for them in these areas. Therefore, appropriate solutions to improve the perception of quality of life and mood of mothers with mentally retarded children can improve the family environment. However, considering the research gap in the effectiveness of the acceptance and practice approach based on early maladaptive schemas on the quality of women with exceptional children, this study seeks to determine whether the causal model of acceptance and practice based on primary maladaptive schemas with a mediating role Does the difficulty in regulating emotion improve the quality of life of mothers of exceptional children fit the experimental model?

This research is both an experimental-field research that was performed by pre-test and post-test with the control group and also by correlation-modeling method. The statistical population includes all mothers with children with mental and physical disabilities in Kermanshah. 30 sample males were purposefully selected and randomly divided into two groups. Admission-based treatment interventions were performed on the experimental group in one of the exceptional children's schools twice a week in 90-minute sessions for eight sessions. Data collection tools included Weir et al.'s (1996) Quality of Life Questionnaire, the Hertzgertz and Roemer (2004) Difficulty in Emotional Adjustment Questionnaire, the Young (2005) Adaptive Schema Scale (2005), and the Bond et al. (2017) Acceptance and Action Questionnaire. In this study, covariance in SPSS software and structural equations in PLS software were used to analyze the data.

The results show that the condition of non-alignment is met. The second criterion for evaluating the internal model is the path coefficients, which in order to examine their significance, the self-management procedure has been used. The results indicate that disconnection and rejection have a positive and significant effect on the difficulty of emotion  regulation; Impaired self-control has a positive and significant effect on the difficulty of emotion regulation; Orientation has a positive and significant effect on the difficulty of emotion regulation; Listening has a positive and significant effect on the difficulty of regulating emotion; Impaired limitation has a positive and significant effect on the difficulty of emotion regulation; Disconnection and rejection have a positive and significant effect on action and acceptance; Impaired self-government has a positive and significant effect on action and acceptance; Orientation has a positive and significant effect on practice and acceptance; Listening has a positive and significant effect on practice and acceptance; Impaired constraints have a positive and significant effect on action and acceptance, and the difficulty of regulating emotion has a positive and significant effect on action and acceptance. Also, based on the obtained results, the indirect effect of disconnection and rejection on action and acceptance is significant with the role of a difficult mediator in emotion regulation; The indirect effect of impaired self-regulation on action and acceptance is significant with a difficult mediating role in emotion regulation; Another indirect effect of direction on action and acceptance is significant with a difficult mediating role in emotion regulation; Another indirect effect of listening is significant on action and acceptance with a difficult mediating role in emotion regulation, and another indirect effect of impaired constraint on action and acceptance with a difficult mediating role in emotion regulation is significant. Also, the interaction between the group and the quality of life test is not significant. In other words, the data support the hypothesis of homogeneity of regression slopes (p = 0.188 and F = 1.830). Also, after adjusting the quality of life test pretest scores, there was no significant difference between the effects of the experimental and control groups (sig = .001 and. Therefore, the null hypothesis that there is no difference between the two groups is rejected and it is concluded that the education program based on the causal model of action and acceptance has been effective on the quality of life of mothers with exceptional children.

The goal of acceptance and practice therapy is to create more psychological flexibility. Psychological resilience refers to the ability to change or perpetuate behavioral classes of action that contribute to valuable goals. Because it is not possible to eliminate or displace the language processes that cause human problems, the goal is to bring these processes into contextual control. These processes are related to the change of central language processes that interfere with psychological flexibility. Acceptance and practice treatment interventions can be performed through any of these processes. In acceptance and practice therapy, no action is taken to reduce, change, avoid, suppress or control private experiences (thoughts and feelings). Rather, clients learn to reduce the impact of unwanted thoughts and feelings through the effective use of pervasive consciousness.

Adolescence is a critical period for the onset of addiction and psychological disorders. This study aimed to determine the path analysis model of tendency to addiction based on a sense of coherence with the mediation of emotion regulation difficulties in adolescents.

In this descriptive study, the statistical population consisted of all male secondary school students studying in public schools in Ardabil city in the academic year of 2019-2020. From this community, a sample of 200 people was randomly selected by multistage random sampling method and answered the questionnaires of tendency to use drugs, emotion regulation difficulties, and a sense of coherence. The obtained data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation test and path analysis modeling.

The results showed that the tendency to addiction was negatively correlated with the total score of sense of cohesion (r=-0.42, p<0.001), components of perceptibility (r=-0.41, p<0.001), controllability (r=-0.18, p<0.05), and significance (r= -0.38, p<0.001), and positively correlated with the total score of difficulty in emotion regulation (r=0.62, p<0.001). Also difficulty in regulating emotion was negatively related to the total score of sense of cohesion (r=-0.28, p<0.001), perceptual components (r=-0.26, p<0.001), and significance (r=-0.35, p<0.001). Model fit indices also confirmed the effect of sense of cohesion on the tendency to addiction with mediation of difficulty in emotion regulation.

According to the results of this study, in terms of application, it is recommended to hold educational workshops in the field of addiction and its side effects by teaching emotion management to adolescent students by school counselors and mental health planners.

Family is the first environment in which the child takes the first steps towards development and establishes an emotional bond with parents. Thus, if emotional bonds and relationships within the family are compromised, a public tendency toward antisocial behaviors will become apparent. Children’s behavioral problems result from poor quality of family interactions, the lack of parents’ emotional support, and conflicts between parents and children. In this regard, emotion regulation is a self–awareness mechanism to cope with undesirable situations in life. This study aimed to model the relationship between adolescent behavioral problems based on parent–child conflicts and familial problems with the mediating role of emotion regulation difficulty in female adolescents.

This research was performed using structural equation modeling, as a part of descriptive–correlational research. The statistical population of this study consisted of all 10th– and 11th–grade female high school students in Khoy City, Iran, in the academic year of 2019–2020. The study sample included 397 subjects who were selected by cluster random sampling method; however, the final sample size of the study was measured to be 367 by cluster random sampling approach. The inclusion criteria of the study were being a teenage girl; consent to complete research questionnaires; no biopsychological disorders, and no dependence on narcotics and psychotropic substances (health records & student counseling records were used to address these issues). The exclusion criterion of the study included providing incomplete questionnaires and missing data; e.g., the selection of only one option in the questionnaires. Data collection tools used in the pretest and posttest phases included the Youth Self Report (Achenbach, 1991), Parent–Child Conflict Tactics Scale (Straus, 1990), Self–Report Family Process Scale (Samani, 2008), and Difficulties in Emotional Regulation Scale (Gratz & Roemer, 2004). The obtained data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling in SPSS and AMOS at p<0.05.

The obtained results suggested that parent–child conflicts (β=0.261, p=0.002) and familial problems (β=0.429, p=0.005) with the mediating role of emotion regulation difficulties, explained behavioral problems in the examined adolescents. Furthermore, the goodness of fit indices indicated a good fit of the model (χ2/df=2.97, NFI=0.900, GFI=0.900, CFI=0.926, RMSEA=0.073).

According to the research findings, parent–child conflicts and familial problems with an emphasis on the mediating role of emotion regulation difficulties can explain adolescent behavioral problems; they can reduce them to provide a platform for improving adolescent behavioral problems. All explored variables may lead to adolescents’ behavioral problems.

Drug addiction is a recurrent and chronic mental illness that is associated with severe motivational disorders and loss of behavioral control, leading to personality disorder.

Present study aims to evaluation of Structural relations of brain-behavioral systems and Emotion regulation difficulties with craving of marijuana in students.

This research was a correlation, study 200 individuals (102 male and 98 female) of School students of Tehran selected by clustering sampling and answered to following questionnaires: Carver and White's Behavioral Inhibition & Activation Scale, Difficulties in emotion regulation scale and craving of marijuana in students’ questionnaire. For data analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling technique was used.

The evaluation of hypothetical model with fit indexes demonstrated that the hypothetical model fits the measurement model (CFI=0.96, NFI=0.96, and RMSEA=0.045). Structural relations analysis also showed brain-behavioral systems indirectly affect through emotional dysregulation over craving of marijuana and also the results showed that the emotional dysregulation has a direct relation to craving of marijuana.

Thus, based on current research findings, it can be concluded that Emotion regulation difficulties has a mediating role in relationship Structural relations of brain-behavioral systems and craving of marijuana. Considering these dimensions and the effectiveness of the employed mechanisms can be useful in developing efficacious preventive and therapeutic interventions for craving of marijuana.
