The present study aimed to compare the expressed emotion of normal and autistic children’s mothers and predict the autistic children mothers' expressed Emotion based on behavioral problems, severity of autism, and social interaction. To this end, 50 autistic children in 3 autistic children center were selected by non-random sampling method and 50 normal children in Tehran were selected by random sampling method. Both groups' Parents were matched in terms of socioeconomic status, age and education. The descriptive statistics results, regression analysis and Manova, showed that there were differences between the children’s mothers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and the normal children’s mothers in the total mean score of expressed emotion (FQ) (p=0/0001) and Emotional Over-Involvement (EQI) (p=0/0001) and the critical scale (0/003). . The results also showed that the grades and behavioral problems (0/014) and autistic severity (p=0/026) of children can be predicted by maternal expressed emotion but mothers expressed emotion’s scores did not foreseeable rough social interaction problems scores. Furthermore, the mother’s Expressed Emotion was predictable by their education level (p=0/047).

The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of Metacognitive therapy (MCT) on false memories in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) veterans. This quasi-experimental research was conducted with pre-posttest design with control groups. The statistical population consisted all veterans with a diagnosis of PTSD were referred to the center therapy in Esfahan and Najafabad city. For this purpose, 30 patients with PTSD were selected with available sampling and were randomly divided to an experimental and control group. All patients were assessed by demographic information Questionnaire and Roediger & McDermott false memory test (DRM) at pre and posttest. The experimental group received 8 Metacognitive therapy sessions. Analysis of covariance showed that at posttest, the experimental group showed a significant improvement false memory (P<0.05). Also the experimental group did not show significant differences false recall. According to the findings about the effect of Metacognitive therapy on improvement false memory, the treatment can be used for patients with posttraumatic stress disorder.

This study examined structural analysis of the moderating impact of openness to vocational opportunity on relations between occupational engagement and career decision certainty with mediator role of career decision self-efficacy. The study population consisted medical students in Kerman who 185 of them were selected through stratified sampling. Four scales were used for data collection including occupational engagement, career decision self-efficacy, career decision certainty, and openness to vocational opportunity. Data analysis was performed using structural equation modeling (method of partial least square). Measurement model (Cronbach's alpha, composite reliability, convergent validity, and discriminant validity) and structural model (significant coefficients, factor loadings and the coefficients of determination) were evaluated. The results showed that occupational engagement has a significant effect on career decision certainty and career decision self-efficacy (p<0/01). Career decision self-efficacy in the relationship between occupational engagement and career decision certainty has a mediator role (p<0/01). With the arrival of moderate variable of openness to vocational opportunity in the model, effect of career decision self-efficacy was significant to career decision certainty (p<0/05). Finally, it was concluded that synergy of openness to vocational opportunity with career-related factors (engagement, self-efficacy and confidence) effects on the development of individual career. This study emphasizes the importance of development in openness to vocational opportunity that can apply as a capability in using random events.

The present study was carried out to assess the mediating effect of insecure attachment styles in the effect of perceived maternal rejection on abandonment and emotional deprivation schema in women. The sample consisted of 102 women aged 20 to 45 years old. Sampling was done by convenience method. Participants completed the early maladaptive schemas scale - short form (Young, 1998), the adult attachment style (Hazen & Shaver, 1978) and the parental acceptance-rejection/control questionnaire (Rohner, 1991). A series of mediation analyses were conducted by regression analysis and Sobel test to test the hypothesis. The results showed that among insecure attachment styles, insecure-ambivalent attachment style mediates the effect of perceived maternal rejection on abandonment and emotional deprivation schema. This study develops our understanding of the mechanisms through which interactions with parents in the early years of life contribute to the development of early maladaptive schemas, and expands our understanding of effective therapeutic mechanisms based on attachment-driven theories.

The goal of this study was An investigation the effect of collaborative mother-child play training on Emotional problems symptoms Include separation anxiety, generalized anxiety, phobia, depression and social phobia in male school students of Isfahan thus, in a quasi-experimental design with a control group and pretest – post test & follow up assessment, 32 male student, with high scores in Emotional problems of Region 3 of isfahan primary school purpose ways selected and assigned randomly in experimental and control group (n1=n2=16). Experimental group received an eight-session a weekly basis with the participation of mothers and playing with the children. While the control group received no intervention and remain in waiting list. two groups were evaluated by parent form of child symptoms check list (CSI-4). The results of the analysis of covariance showed that intervention with mother-child playing reduces the 90.3% symptoms of Emotional problems in post test and follow up (p<0.05). Based on these findings, it can be concluded the mother-child playing is suitable to reduce symptoms of Emotional problems effective and With this empirical practical interment can reduce of Emotional problems symptoms.

difficulties in emotion regulation and negative automatic thoughts are separately considered as key components in describe specific disorder in several psychopathological models. The aim of this study is to survey of the role of difficulties in emotion regulation as an emotional factor and negative automatic thoughts as a cognitive factor in adolescent conflict resolution tactics with parents. Sample included 128 of secondary school students that selected via random cluster sampling from Bushehr schools, to whom the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale, Negative Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire and Conflict Resolution Tactics Scale were given. The data were analyzed by stepwise multiple regression. On the base of research results lack of emotional clarity has an important role in conflict resolution tactics arguments with father and mother. Personal incompatibility is important in conflict resolution tactics verbal aggression. Also, Personal incompatibility, lack of emotional awareness and impulse control difficulties can predict conflict resolution tactics physical aggression with father and mothers and conflict resolution tactics verbal aggression with mother. According to the finding of this research, ether cognitive and emotional factors have important roles in prediction of adolescent conflict resolution tactics with parents. In this regard, the role of the emotional factor was highlighted. The results have been explained on the base of Theoretical foundations and research background
