The autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder, which causes and increases psychological problems. Therefore, the aim of this study was determining the effectiveness of music therapy on self-harm behaviors and executive functions in children with autism disorder.

The present research was a quasi-experimental study with pretest and posttest design with a control group. The research population was male with autistic disorder that referred to counseling and occupational therapy centers of Ahvaz city in the second half of 2021 year, which from them number of 24 people after reviewing the inclusion criteria were selected by purposive sampling method and by simple randomly with lottery assigned into two equal groups. The experimental group trained 10 sessions of 45 minutes by music therapy method and the control group remained on the waiting list for training. Data were collected with demographic information form, self-harm inventory and executive function scale and were analyzed by chi-square and multivariate analysis of covariance tests in SPSS version 23 software.

The findings showed that there was no significant difference between the experimental and control groups in terms of age, educational grad and past time of autism disorder (P>0.05). Also, music therapy significantly reduced self-harm behaviors and significantly improved executive functions including self-management to time, self-organization/problem solving, self-restraint/inhibition, self-motivation and self-regulation of emotion in children with autism disorder (P<0.001).

The results of this research showed the effective role of music therapy in reducing self-harm behaviors and improving executive functions of children with autism disorder. Therefore, the use of music therapy along with other treatment methods can be effective to improve the psychological characteristics of children with autism disorder.

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.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of the Affective and Emotional Temperament on self-harm behaviors satisfaction mediated by the childhood trauma.

The Method of the present study was descriptive-correlational research using structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method. The statistical population of the research was all students between the ages of 18 and 25 in the city of Mashhad that 630 of them were selected through convenience sampling technique. From 630 questionnaires that were distributed among the participants, a total of 623 questionnaires fulfilled the required analysis criteria. The instruments for data collection included The Deliberate SelfHarm Inventory, The Affective and Emotional Composite Temperament (AFECT) scale and Childhood Trauma Questionnaire. The data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient and the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique. 

The results indicated that the hypothesized model had a good fit with the observed data. Affective and Emotional Temperament showed a significantly correlation with selfharm behaviors. Path analysis indicated that the relation between Affective and Emotional Temperament and self-harm behaviors mediated by childhood trauma. Concluion: Considering these variables are important in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of self-harm behaviors as well as in promoting mental health among general population.

Self-injurious behaviors are related to psychological problems. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the role of impulse control, cognitive strategies of emotional regulation, tolerance of emotional distress and rumination in predicting self-harm behaviors in adolescents referred to temporary harm reduction centers in Tehran.

This research was descriptive and correlational. The statistical population of the present study included adolescents aged 14 to 18 years who referred to the Transitional Injury Reduction Centers (DIC) in Tehran, District 12 (Shosh-Harandi neighborhood) in the first four months of 2022, who were referred by a simple random sampling method. 300 people were selected to these centers. Research tools include Self-Injury Questionnaire (SHI) (Sansone et al., 1998), Impulsivity Scale (BIS-11) (Barrett et al., 2004), Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ) (Garnefski et al., 2001), Tolerance Scale Emotional Distress (DTS) (Simons & Gaher, 2005) and Rumination Scale (RRS) (Hoeksema & Morrow, 1991) Was. In order to analyze the data, Pearson's correlation test and multiple linear regression were used simultaneously.

The results have shown that there is a positive and significant relationship between impulse control and rumination with self-harm behaviors and a negative and significant relationship between emotional cognitive regulation and emotional distress tolerance with self-harm behaviors (p<0.01).

Also, the results of the regression analysis showed that impulse control, emotional regulation cognitive strategies, emotional distress tolerance and rumination explain a total of 0.83 of self-harm behaviors.There is a relationship between impulse control, cognitive strategies of emotional regulation, tolerance of emotional distress and rumination with self-harm behaviors in adolescents referred to transitory harm reduction centers in Tehran

 It is important to pay attention to the self-injury behaviors in adolescence as one of the high-risk behaviors with adverse consequences for the individual and society.

 This study aims to investigate the mediating role of emotion regulation strategies in the relationship between emotional abuse in childhood and self-injury behaviors in female adolescents.

 This is an analytical cross-sectional study. Participants were 200 female high school students in Rasht, Iran in the academic year 2020-2021 who were selected using a convenience sampling method. Data collection tools included the self-harm inventory (SHI), childhood trauma questionnaire (CTQ), and emotion regulation questionnaire (ERQ). The collected data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) and path analysis in SPSS Software v. 23 and Amos v. 26.

 There was a significant relationship between emotional abuse and self-injury behaviors (P<0.001). The reappraisal domain had a significant negative relationship with emotional abuse and self-injury behaviors, and the suppression domain had a significant positive relationship with emotional abuse and self-injury behaviors. Emotion regulation strategies had partial mediating role in the relationship between emotional abuse and self-injury behaviors (P<0.001).

 Considering the mediating role of emotion regulation strategies, more attention to the use of these strategies should be paid to reduce the occurrence of self-injury behaviors in female adolescents.

Adolescence who have self-harm behaviors (SHS) or tendency to suicide experience different psychopathological problems. Two potential critical risk factors - insecure attachment and especially borderline personality organization- have been underexplored in the literature despite the fact that both of these structures are central to understanding these problematic behaviors. The objective of this research was to explore the association between adolescent insecure attachment and borderline personality organization with self- harm behaviors and tendency to suicide. This study was a correlation design. Sample group which was selected through multi-stage cluster sampling included 700 students from high schools of Tehran, district 16 in Academic year 2017-2018. All participants were asked to complete questionnaire pack including: Self-Harm behavior Inventory, Multi-Attitude Suicide Tendency Scale, and Personality Organization Inventory. Data was analyzed by Pearson correlation method and using the SPSS-21 software. The results illustrated a significant correlation between insecure attachment style and borderline personality organization with self- harm behaviors (SHB) and tendency to suicide. Findings of the current study are consistent with previous studies and theoretical stance indicating the predictability of self- harm behaviors / suicide tendency indices from quality of attachment style and personality organization in adolescence.
