This is a descriptive correlational study of the type of structural equation conducted aiming at investigating the structural model of attitude towards body image based on the Achievement Identity Status with the mediating role of sociocultural attitude towards appearance and self-acceptance among adolescent girls.

Methods and Materials:

 The study’s statistical population included all adolescent girls studying in the secondary level in Isfahan city in the academic year 2020-2019, 567 of whom were chosen by cluster random sampling, so that one of the six districts of education in Isfahan (District 5) was randomly selected and among the schools of this district, six schools and from each school, five classes (30 classes in total) were randomly selected and asked to participate in the study. To collect data, Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire (MBSRQ), Extended Objective Measure of Ego Identity Status (EOM-EIS-2), sociocultural attitudes towards appearance questionnaire-3 (SATAQ-3), and unconditional self-acceptance questionnaire (USAQ) were used. To analyze the data, structural equation modeling (SEM) was used with AMOS.

According to the findings, there is a significant relationship between the variables of identity status, sociocultural attitude towards appearance, and self-acceptance and attitude towards body image. Moreover, the findings revealed the effect of the achievement identity status on the attitude towards body image by mediating role of sociocultural attitude towards appearance and self-acceptance, and among adolescent girls, the proposed model has a good fit.

The identity status affects the type of people’s attitude towards their body image as their first experienced ego by mediating role of the sociocultural attitude towards appearance and self-acceptance; hence, to improve the people’s attitude towards their body image, counseling centers, beauty centers, and schools are suggested to consider the aforementioned variables.

Psychological well-being and happiness describe the components that refer to mental health or positive functioning. Thus, the definition of happiness is not limited to emotional well-being; because other elements such as cognitive elements are involved in happiness. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of psychological well-being components in predicting happiness.  

This is a descriptive-analytical study. The statistical population included all undergraduate students of Tabriz University in the academic year 1397-98 that 174 people were selected by judgmental sampling. The Reef Psychology Welfare Scale and the Oxford Happiness Scale (OHI) were used to collect research data.

In this study, 119 (68.4%) females and 55 (31.6%) males were present as a sample. The mean and standard deviation of the subjects were 22.00 71 3.71 years, respectively. The results of correlation coefficients showed that there is a significant relationship between the components of psychological well-being and happiness (P <0.05). Based on the results of hierarchical regression analysis, 19.7% of the variance of happiness was explained by the components of psychological well-being. Also, according to beta coefficients and t value, self-acceptance component, mastery of the environment and positive communication with others were significant at the level of P <0.05.

According to the results, students who have experienced more psychological well-being, in other words, have reached a degree of self-acceptance, are able to control stress and stressors to some extent, and have acquired the necessary skills to communicate effectively with others. They have more inner self and as a result they will experience more happiness.

Today in most societies, aging is an important issue. Researchers emphasize the positive effect of resilience on the well-being and health of the elderly, so finding a relationship between resilience and the components that are most closely related to it is very important. This study aimed to determine the relationship between health literacy and resilience with the mediating role of self-admission in the elderly.

The research was the descriptive-correlational method. The statistical population includes 110 people over 65 years of age who are members of Sari World Visitors House in 1399. 85 people were selected as a sample using a simple Krejcie and Morgan table. The research instruments include the Chamberlain and Hague Self-Admission Questionnaire (2001), Health Literacy Assessment of Iran's Urban Population (Montazeri et al., 2014), and Connor and Davidson Resilience Questionnaire (2003). Structural equation modeling and PLS 3 software were used to analyze the data.

Statistical analysis showed that there is a significant relationship between health literacy and self-acceptance, between health literacy and resilience, between self-acceptance and resilience, and between health literacy and resilience with the mediating role of self-acceptance in the elderly (P-value = 0/00).

By promoting health literacy and improving their admission capacity the elderly, their sense of self can be improved and their resilience can be increased.

One of the fundamental problems that adolescents face is the occurrence of high-risk behaviors. These behaviors are destructive and maladaptive that have adverse physical, psychological, and social consequences for the individual. Self-acceptance is a direct behavioral strategy such as effective problem-oriented coping that affects adolescents' adjustment and thus may have a direct effect on adolescents' high-risk behaviors. Conditional self-worth is one of the factors that causes anxiety and stress, while unconditional self-acceptance provides individual adjustment. Anxiety sensitivity explains the predisposition of people to fear and catastrophic interpretations of anxiety symptoms and causes the persistence of anxiety disorders, as one of the etiological factors involved in anxiety disorders. This study aimed to present a structural model of risky behaviors in adolescents based on anxiety sensitivity mediated by self-acceptance.

The present study was descriptive and correlational. The statistical population of the study included all adolescents aged 14 to 18 years living in Tehran City, Iran in the academic year of 2017-2018. Of whom, 500 people were selected by convenience sampling from schools. Out of these students, 496 were eligible for analysis. The inclusion criteria were volunteer participation, adolescents in primary and secondary high school, aged 14 to 18 years, and no history of receiving psychological treatment. The exclusion criteria were incomplete answers to the questionnaires and lack of consent to continue cooperating in the research. The study tools included the Risky Behaviors Questionnaire (Mohammadkhani, 2007), Unconditional Self-Acceptance Questionnaire (Chamberlain & Haaga, 2001), and the Anxiety Sensitivity Index (Reiss et al., 1986). The Pearson correlation test and structural equation modeling were used to analyze the data with SPSS and AMOS software. The significance level of the tests was considered 0.05.

In the present study, the results showed that the total path coefficient between anxiety sensitivity and risky behaviors was positive and significant (p=0.001, β=0.27). The path coefficient between conditional self-acceptance and risky behaviors was positive and significant (p=0.001, β=0.32). The path coefficient between unconditional self-acceptance and risky behaviors was negative and significant (p=0.001, β= -0.28). The indirect path coefficient between anxiety sensitivity and risky behaviors mediated by conditional and unconditional self-acceptance was positive and significant (p=0.001, β= 0.150). Also, the hypothesized model had fitness with the collected data (χ2=164.15, CFI=0.954, GFI=0.951, AGFI=0.919, and RMSEA=0.071).

Based on the findings of this study, anxiety sensitivity significantly predicts high-risk behaviors in adolescents with the mediation of conditional and unconditional self-acceptance.

Improving the psychological states of physically disabled individuals can make their lives easier. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of psychodramas group therapy onassertiveness, self-acceptance, and the spirit of gratitude among physically disabled people in Isfahan.

The research method was quasi-experimental with experimental and control groups with a pretest-posttest design. The statistical population of the study consisted of all physically disabled people in Isfahan Disabled People’s Association in 2020. Of them, forty subjects were conveniently selected and randomly assigned in two groups (each group 20 persons). The experimental group received eight ninety-minute sessions of psychodrama group therapy while the control group recieved no intervention. To collect information, three questionnaires were used: self-acceptance scale of Gambrill and Ritchie, assertiveness scale of Chamberlain and Haga, and gratitude scale of McCullough. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics (means and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (multivariate analysis of covariance).

The results showed that psychotherapy group therapy had a significant effect on assertiveness (p<0.001, F=16.54), self-acceptance (p<0.001, F=210.62), and gratitude (p<0.001, F=33.44) of people with physical disabilities.

Psychodrama method was effective in improving assertiveness, unconditional acceptance, and gratitude in people with physical disabilities in Isfahan. Therefore, this method can be considered to improve the mentioned variables among the physically disabled people.

 In this research, which conducted in 2020, the aim was to explain the Self-Acceptance based on Body Image, Gender Role with mediating of Time Perspective among  Post-Menopausal Women aged 45-60 in Tehran. The sample group was consisted of 710 available Post-Menopausal women.

The research method was correlation with the structural equation model approach. The statistical population of the study was postmenopausal women aged 60-45 years old in Tehran in 2020. The sample group participated in this study by available sampling method of 355 women and with their unconditional acceptance questionnaires by Chamberlain and Haga (2001). , Multidimensional self-bodybuilder and Mikolka (1990), Bam gender role (1974) and the time perspective of Zimbardo and Boyd (1999) were evaluated. Spss and Lisrel software were used to analyze the data.

According to the results of the model, self-acceptance in postmenopausal women based on body image, gender role mediated by time perspective, had a good fit. The results of path analysis showed that the direct effect of time perspective on self-acceptance is significant (t = 2.69, β = 0.43) and body image (t = 2.57, β = 0.39) and gender role ( T = 2.57, β = 0.26) indirectly affects its acceptance due to time perspective. The results also showed that the variables within the model predict 23% of their acceptance variance and 46% of the time vision variance.

Comparing with the Gender role, the Body image is a better predicted-able for Unconditional Acceptance in postmenopausal women,  with mediating Time Prospective, through the factors “past positive”, futuristic, and “Present Hedonistic.”
