The participants completed the social phobia inventory (Conner, 2000) in pretest and posttest. The intervention methods were TA-GT that was administrated during 7 weekly 60-90 minutes sessions. Mean and standard deviation were used for data analysis in the descriptive level and ANCOVA method was used at the inference level.
The results of the study showed that social anxiety disorder symptoms in experimental groups were significantly increased (p<0.01).
The finding of this research suggests that transactional analysis group therapy could be a successful intervention for decreasing Social Anxiety Disorder Symptoms.

Background and ar is an exaggerated, unreasonable, constant, and excessive concern for situations and objects. During the coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic, many people, unfortunately, became infected, and some died. Many people who recovered from COVID-19 have many physical and psychological issues; the fear of Corona as germophobia is one of these concerns. This study aimed to investigate the association of depression, anxiety, and emotional regulation with the fear of Corona in improved people from COVID-19 in Tehran.
The present study was a descriptive correlation method. The population includes people who recovered from Corona habited in Tehran in 2021. From them, 125 participants were selected by the convenience sampling method. The participants completed the Germophobia Questionnaire (Alavizadeh et al., 2021), the Cognitive Emotion Regulation (CER) questionnaire (Garnefski et al., 2001), and the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) (Lovibond & Lovibond, 1998). Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the data.
The results showed that the three components of cognitive emotion regulation (rumination, catastrophe, and perception and perspective) and the fear of Corona have a significant relationship, and its other components (self-blame, acceptance of circumstances, the blame of others, positive refocus on planning, positive reassessment) were not significant. There is a positive relationship between rumination and catastrophic perception and fear of Corona and a negative association with perception and fear of Corona. The results indicate the relationship between anxiety and depression with the degree of fear of Corona.

In analyzing the data, hierarchical regression and SPSS 26 software have been used.
 The results of this study showed that the addiction potential with emotional self-regulation, self-efficacy, and resilience has a significant and negative correlation, and also the results of hierarchical regression analysis showed that adapting among emotional styles with resilience had the greatest effect on reducing the addiction potential, so that adaptation alone 4% of variance tended to drug use and resilience. Alone, 3% of the variance explains the substance use tendency. Finally, studies demonstrated that there are significant positive relationship between gender and sport activity with addiction potential.
 The results of the research showed that emotional self-regulation, self-efficacy, and resilience as protective factors in reducing drug use in students, and their cultivation could be reducing the addiction potential in students.
