Mental disorders have created many problems in modern societies, especially in the school age group. Unfortunately, in most parts of the world, mental health is not considered to be as good as physical health. Therefore, this research has been done with the aim of raising the knowledge of students about their reduction of anxiety and improving mental health using the self-regulation model.
In this clinical trial, 103 female students from the 10th grade (47 controls and 56 intervention groups) were selected. Mental Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28), Beck Anxiety, and Self-Regulatory Learning Strategies were the tools used in this study. Finally, the data for the pretest, immediately and three months after the test were entered into SPSS-24 software and data analysis was done.
Mean and standard deviation of anxiety and mental health scores were statistically significant in the two groups before, immediately and three months after the intervention (p-value=0.05). The only correlation with the anxiety variable, the motivational component with coefficient -0.29, also had a positive correlation with the mental health variable, anxiety variable with a coefficient of 0.5 and negative correlation with the motivational variable with a coefficient of -0.21.
According to the findings, education can affect the improvement of mental health and reduce the anxiety of female students. As a result, self-regulation learning can be useful for students' academic performance and mental health.

 The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between transdiagnostic factors and psychotic symptoms in individuals with schizophrenia disorder. Materials and 

In this descriptive-correlational study, 60 individual with schizophrenia disorder in Mashhad and Neyshabur in 2017 were selected by convenience sampling method. The participants completed Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale (IUS), Cognitive Avoidance Questionnaire (SAQ), Metacognition Questionnaire (MCQ), Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II (AAQ-II) and Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ). Data were analyzed by Pearson correlation and regression analysis.

The result showed that there are significant relationships between transdiagnostic factors, namely intolerance of uncertainty (p=0.01), cognitive avoidance (p=0.01), experiential avoidance (p=0.01), worry about worry (p=0.01), adaptive (p=0.01) and maladaptive (p=0.05) cognitive emotion regulation, and psychotic symptoms. In addition, experiential avoidance and intolerance of uncertainty predicted psychotic symptoms in individuals with schizophrenia disorder.

The results of this study emphasize the importance of transdiagnostic factors in experience of psychotic symptoms in individuals with schizophrenia disorder.

Regarding to the importance of children and adolescents' aggression in the prediction of problems over the psycho-social adjustments in future, the current study was conducted in order to compare the impact of competitive and non-competitive activities on the aggression of children aged 7-9 and 10-12.

The statistical community of this clinical trial consists of 2200 boy students of elementary schools in Khalil Abad city through the academic years 2015-2016.  At first, 4 elementary schools were randomly chosen, and 200 students were divided into two competitive and non-competitive groups randomly.  The aggression survey for the child aged 7-11 years was given as a pre-test to the participants in the school (teachers' form).  The duration of the exercise plan was 12 weeks (twice a week).  At the end of the intervention, a post-test was conducted on the groups.  The data were analyzed using the multi-variate co-variance test.

  The results showed that upon deleting the impact of pre-test of aggression score, the effect of competitive- non-competitive group with the age group on the post-test scores was not significant (P= 0.11 and f (1, 99)=2.47).

Based on the results, competitive or non-competitive activities do not have various effects on the aggression of students.

Internet addiction has increased among young adults as public health problem which lead to mental and physical disturbances. The present study aimed to assess the relationship between internet addiction and loneliness with sleep quality in youth population.

Regarding to the findings, internet addiction and loneliness are associated to negative impact on quality of sleep among college students.

 This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of social and cognitive-affective skills on violent behaviors tendency among high school students.
The population of this clinical trial included male high school students of Hamadan and Tehran studying in academic year of 2012-2013. The sampling in the first step was done through multi-level cluster sampling and in the second step, random substitution was used. First, the Interpersonal Aggressive questionnaire was administered to the students. Then, 120 students (60 students in each province) were chosen from among those who received the higher scores than the cut point and they were randomly distributed to the control and experimental groups (i.e., 6 groups with 20 students in each group). The social and cognitive-affective skills programs were performed in 10 sessions. In addition to the CTS questionnaire including social specifications, demographic questionnaire, Bar-On Emotional Intelligence questionnaire, Emotional Control scale, and the second version of Rahim Organizational Conflict Inventory- II (ROCI-II) were administered. To analyze the data, Covariance analysis (ANCOVA) and LSD test were used.
The results indicated that there is a difference between the effectiveness of social skills and cognitive-affective skills on the tendency toward aggressive behaviors (P= 0.021, M= 2.824).
It seems that training cognitive-affective skills is more effective than social skills in reducing violent behaviors tendency in high school students.

Chronic idiopathic urticaria is a kind of urticaria, although it doesn’t have known external factor cause, but many studies have shown the role of psychological factors in development of allergic diseases, including the disease. The aim of this study is to compare the anxiety, depression and mental pressures caused by stressful life events in patients with chronic idiopathic urticaria and healthy people.
This case-control study was performed on 22 patients with chronic idiopathic urticaria compared with 22 healthy subjects. Both groups responded to the checklist for demographic characteristics, Spielberger state/trait personality inventory, Beck Depression and Payckle scale of stressful life events. And the severity of the urticaria rash was recorded.
Results showed no meaningful difference in terms of age, gender, marital status and education level between the two groups. State/trait anxiety and depression scores were significantly higher in the case group than control group. In the case of stressful life events, the mean scores of patients did not reach to the meaningful level. On the other hand, the results of the study showed that with increasing the level of state/trait anxiety and depression in patients, the severity of urticaria rash has been significantly increased as well.
Regarding the higher level of anxiety and depression in patients with chronic idiopathic urticaria, mental interventions are necessary for the treatment of these patients.
