Background & Aim:

 People with diabetes are potentially threatened by other factors such as negative emotions, nervous system defects, and sensitivity to anxiety, which affects whether or not they are affected by diabetes-related wounds. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of brain-behavioral system on diabetic female patients exposed to psychological vulnerability with the mediating role of anxiety sensitivity, positive and negative emotions and distress tolerance.

Materials & Methods:

This research was applied in terms of purpose, and structural in terms of methods. The statistical population consisted of all women with diabetes in the specialized diabetes clinic of Karaj city, Iran in the first half of 2011, which 390 people were selected by purposive sampling method. To collect data, the questionnaires of Carver and White's behavioral brain systems, mental health questionnaire (SCL-25), Taylor and Cox's anxiety sensitivity, Watson, Clark and Telgen's positive and negative emotions, and Simmons and Gaher's distress tolerance were used. Regression equation tests were used to analyze the data. Data analysis was done using SPSS 18 and Amos 23 softwares.

The results showed that the variables of behavioral brain system, anxiety sensitivity, positive and negative emotions and distress tolerance have direct and significant effects on psychological vulnerability. Also, the indirect path of the effect of the brain-behavioral system through the mediation of anxiety sensitivity, positive and negative emotions and distress tolerance on psychological vulnerability was confirmed. In general, the research model was confirmed and the research variables had the ability to predict 69% of the psychological vulnerability variable.

Considering the role of the behavioral brain system, anxiety sensitivity, positive and negative emotions, and distress tolerance on mental vulnerability, it is necessary for therapists to develop programs to reduce the mental damage of the behavioral brain system, anxiety sensitivity, positive and negative emotions, and distress tolerance in order to reduce psychological damage in these patients by changing these variables.

One of the debates in psychology is the relationship between physical illnesses and the resulting psychological and psychological phenomena that can cause extensive harm to the individual. The purpose of this study was to model the causal relationships of behavioral brain system on psychosocial vulnerability by mediating the role of anxiety Distress tolerance with asthma.

The method of this research was descriptive-correlation based on structural equation modeling. The statistical population of the present study consisted of all 500 patients with asthmatic disease in District 2 of Tehran (Vanak region) in the specialized clinic of respiratory asthmatic patients in 1398. In this study, to determine the sample size according to the number of observed variables and assign a coefficient of 10 for each observed variable (24 variables observed in the model), and taking into account the possibility of incomplete questionnaires of 250 people as a sample size by purposeful selection Were. Carver and White Behavioral Brain Systems Questionnaire, Carpenters and Davoodi Psychiatric Injury, Simmons and Gaher Distress Tolerance Questionnaire were used to collect data. Regression equation tests were used to analyze the data.

The results showed that the behavioral brain system through Distress tolerance has an impact on the psychiatric vulnerability of asthmatic patients and the effects of direct and indirect pathways 63% of the variable of psychological vulnerability can be explained by the brain behavioral system Distress tolerance. In general, the research model was approved.

Considering the presence of psychological factors in asthma and identifying the role of emotional and anxiety factors in the extent of mental injury in patients, it is recommended that therapists consider protocols based on cognitive behavioral patterns in this group of patients.

The emergence of COVID-19 and its consequences has led to fear, worry and anxiety among people around the world.

The goal of this study was to investigate the role of resilience in predicting the psychological vulnerability of employees of the Birjand Islamic Azad University.

This study was descriptive and the community was the staff of Birjand Azad University in 2020. 123 person were randomly selected based on Morganchr('39')s table and the questionnaires included Connor and Davidson resilience and psychiatric symptoms. For data analysis, in addition to the mean and standard deviation, Pearson correlation test and multiple regression analysis were used and data analysis was performed using SPSS 21 statistical software.

The findings showed a significant relationship between the total resilience score and psychological vulnerability. Among the subscales, depression, hypersensitivity, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, and aggression were the most correlated with resilience, respectively (P<0.001). Also, the results of linear regression analysis showed that resilience was able to predict a total of 40% of psychological vulnerability and its subscales (P<0.001).

Therefore, it can be concluded that increasing resilience can lead to a decrease in the subscales of psychological vulnerability of individuals. The results of this study can also be used to diagnose the psychological damage caused by the corona pandemic crisis in the staff of Birjand Azad University and to plan the necessary psychological interventions in this target group.

Psychological distress is one of the most common problems that students experience. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of mediator of self-interest compassion in the relationship between psychological vulnerability and attachment to God.

The present study is descriptive and correlational. The statistical population of the study included all female students studying at in Karaj Islamic Azad University in 1395. Using simple random sampling method, 280 people were calculated selected to participate in the study. The research related data were collected by using self-compassion questionnaire, short form of depression, anxiety and stress questionnaire, and attachment to God questionnaire. To analyze the data, descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient and regression and The Baron and Kenny method was used to test the intermediate mediating effects. In this study, all the ethical considerations have been observed and no conflict of interest was reported by the authors.

The results showed that there was a significant relationship between attachment to God with and self-compassion (P<0.05, r=0.61) and psychological vulnerability (P<0.05, r=-0/60). Also, attachment to God could explain 52 percent of the changes in psychological vulnerability alone, but self-compassion and attachment to God can explained 61 percent of the changes in psychological vulnerability.

The results of this research emphasize the need to recognize the role of self-compassion and attachment to God in the reducing student's psychological vulnerability.

The community’s mental health plays a major role in ensuring its dynamism; however, this phenomenon is at risk due to the high prevalence of psychological vulnerability in individuals. Family determines the social attitudes and proficiencies of its members; interactions within the family impact their mental health. A linchpin in demonstrating the formation of a family is the coupleschr('39') communication patterns on which the couplechr('39')s interactions are based. As a result, it can significantly influence the psychological wellbeing of family and society members. According to the foregoing matters as well as the high prevalence of psychological vulnerability in the community, it is essential to consider the relevant fundamental factors. Considering the connection between the coupleschr('39') interactions and psychological vulnerability, this research was conducted to predict psychological vulnerability based on coupleschr('39') communication patterns.

This was a descriptive and correlational study. The statistical population of the research was all married clients referring to the counseling and psychotherapy centers of Yazd City, Iran, in 2018. In total, 260 subjects were selected as the study samples by the multistage cluster sampling method. The inclusion criteria of the research were couples who have been married for at least one year and referring to counseling centers for at least one time in 2018. Being educated below a middle school degree was also considered as the exclusion criterion. To collect the required information, two tools were used. The first questionnaire was a Symptoms Check List–90–Revised (Derogatis et al., 1976), which included 90 questions and 9 components. The second questionnaire was the coupleschr('39') communication patterns (Christensen & Sullaway, 1984) with 35 questions and 3 components, including mutual constructive communication pattern, demand/withdrawal communication pattern, and mutual avoidance communication pattern. To analyze the collected data, the descriptive statistical methods were used, including mean, standard deviation, and distribution indicators; we also applied inferential statistics, including Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression analysis at the significance level of 0.05 in SPSS.

There was a significant negative relationship between psychological vulnerability and mutual constructive communication pattern (r=–0.2, p<0.001); the relationship between demand/withdrawal communication pattern (r=0.362, p<0.001) and mutual avoidance communication pattern (r=0.257, p<0.001) was positive. The multiple linear regression analysis by the simultaneous method suggested that demand/withdrawal communication pattern were positively (β=0.381, p<0.001) and mutual constructive communication patterns were negatively (β=–0.232, p<0.001) able to predict psychological vulnerability; however, mutual avoidance communication pattern failed to predict psychological vulnerability (β=0.102, p=0.137). Altogether, the model predicted 18% of psychological vulnerability changes; thus, this model was of a low prediction capability.

Considering the results, the existence of demand/withdrawal communication patterns among couples will increase psychological vulnerability; however, it is less among couples who apply mutual constructive communication patterns in their relationships. Therefore, to maintain psychological health in couples, it is necessary to pay more attention to their compatibility and problem–solving skills.

Community health depends on family health. With the concurrent fundamental changes in the world and the stress and psychological problems that stem from these changes, mental illnesses have been increasing; accordingly, individuals are becoming more vulnerable to mental health disorders. The occurrence of family life events is among the touching factors affecting psychological trauma. Financial, family–related, and occupational problems, concern about the death of loved ones, and marital and pregnancy difficulties are stressful events that can affect onechr('39')s mental state. Considering the above–mentioned findings and the high prevalence of psychological trauma in society, this study aimed to predict psychological vulnerability based on family life events.

This was a descriptive correlational study. The research community consisted of all married clients of counseling and psychotherapy centers in Yazd City, Iran, in 2018; of them, 260 individuals were selected by multistage cluster sampling method, as the study samples. The inclusion criteria of the research were couples who have been married for at least one year and referring to counseling centers for at least one time in 2018. Being educated to a middle school degree was also considered as the exclusion criterion. Two tools were used for collecting data in this survey. The first tool was the Symptoms Check List–90–Revised (Derogatis et al., 1976). The second inventory was the Family Inventory of Life Events and Changes (McCubbin & Thopmson, 1991). The research data analysis was performed in two parts; first, descriptive statistics, including mean, standard deviation, as well as skewness and kurtosis indices. The second part was inferential statistics, including the Pearson correlation coefficient and simple linear regression at the significant level of 0.05, used in SPSS.

The simple linear regression analysis data suggested that family life events could predict the overall score of psychological vulnerability (β=0.453, p<0.001) and its dimensions, including somatization (β=0/403, p<0.001), obsessive–compulsive (β=0.365, p<0.001), interpersonal sensitivity (β=0.371, p<0.001), depression (β=0.438, p<0.001), anxiety (β=0.381, p<0.001), hostility (β=0.39, p<0.001), phobic anxiety (β=0.387,p<0.001), paranoia (β=0.445, p<0.001), and psychosis (β=0.39, p<0.001).

According to the current research results, as family life events increase, psychological vulnerability enhances and family life events can predict various psychological vulnerability types. Thus, it is imperative that training of life skills, resilience, and adaptation be addressed by concerned organizations.

One of the research goals in psychology approaches، is to understand the factors that contribute to vulnerability of people. Investigation and identification of psychological and physical vulnerability factors has created a new orientation in prevention، diagnosis and adoption of the treatment method. People might have special physical and psychological vulnerabilities that predispose them to mental and physical disorders. Alexithymia is one of the traumatic variables. This study aims to predict psychological and physical vulnerabilities based on alexithymia. In this study، the moderator role of gender and marriage is studied in the relationship between psychological and physical vulnerability with alexithymia. 206 men and 193 women from the general population of Tehran participated in this study. The participants completed the symptoms Check list and the 20-itemToronto alexithymia scale. The results indicated that alexithymia has significant difference with psychological vulnerability and physical vulnerability at p<0. 01 level. Marriage، also has the role of moderator in the relationship between alexithymia and physical vulnerability. Based on these findings، it can be concluded that early detection of alexithymia، can help prevent physical and psychological damage. We can also manage and treat alexithymia in the context of intervention models.
