Objective: Blood pressure is actually one of the most asymptomatic risk factors, which is usually discovered at the same time as irreversible complications such as heart and brain strokes occur. Considering the high prevalence of high blood pressure in Iran and since access to psychological treatments at least at the same time as drug treatments accelerates and makes the recovery more stable, this research aims to investigate the effectiveness of mindfulness on defense mechanisms, behavioral brain systems and early arousal in affected patients. Blood pressure was done. Method: The present study was applied in terms of its purpose and semi-experimental with a control group in terms of implementation method. The statistical population included all patients with blood pressure in Azadshahr and had health records in urban health-treatment centers in 2022. Using available sampling method, 30 patients were selected and randomly replaced in two experimental and control groups (15 people in each group). The experimental group underwent 8 90-minute sessions of mindfulness therapy, but the control group did not receive any intervention until the end of the study. The research tools were Andrews et al.'s defensive styles questionnaire (1993), Carver and White's behavioral brain systems (1994), and Barrett et al.'s (2004) impulsivity questionnaire. Research data were analyzed by multivariate covariance analysis and spss software version 24. Results: The mean and standard deviation of defense mechanisms, brain systems of behavior and impulsivity for the pre-test and post-test stages showed that after the mindfulness treatment, the scores of the experimental group had a significant difference. Also, the results showed that mindfulness treatment is effective on defense mechanisms,behavioral brain systems and impulsivity in patients with high blood pressure (p<0.05). Conclusion: The results of the research indicate that, since the use of underdeveloped and neurotic defense mechanisms are destructive and increase stress and cause the aggravation of mental disorders and increase stress and primary blood pressure, therefore, in order to reduce the use of these underdeveloped mechanisms, it is necessary for people Stay away from judgment and understand your feelings and accept them as they are. Mindfulness leads to the attitude that thoughts and feelings are transitory, and the above attitude makes it possible to see thoughts and feelings as just thoughts or just feelings, which eventually leads to a reduction in self-thoughts and rumination and a reduction in unpleasant states. and mindfulness with the person's awareness of their cognitive cycles and reducing negative thoughts plays an important role in improving defense mechanisms and brain-behavioral systems in patients with high blood pressure. Also, with the increase in mindfulness, the power of emotional control and self-management of patients with high blood pressure increases, and they are able to directly control their emotions caused by impulsivity.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of motivational interviewing in reducing emotional eating and anxiety considering the moderator role of impulsivity in obese people. Method: This is a quasi-experimental study with pretest-posttest and control group. 20 obese patients, who had referred to Jooyandegane Salamat, Dr. Sobhani and Rosha diet therapy clinics at Mashhad, selected voluntarily regarding inclusion criteria. Results: ANCOVA results showed that levels of emotional eating (F(1,15)=5/89, P≤ 0/05) and anxiety (F(1,17)=6/87, P≤0/05) have significantly reduced in examination group. Also, it was found that impulsivity has not a moderator role in the effect of motivational intervention on emotional eating. Conclusion: the Motivational interviewing is an effective method to reduce emotional eating and anxiety in obese people and so is a way to help them control their weight

Objective: There are different research evidence that show similarities between addiction to drugs and consuming some kinds of foods. The purpose of this study was designing and testing a model of some antecedents of food addiction. Method: The participants of the study were 306 undergraduate students of Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz (142 male and 164 female) that were selected by multistage random sampling method. The instruments were used Yale Food Addiction Scale-2, Emotional Eating Scale, Barrat Impulsivity Scale-11, Difficulties in Emotional Regulation Scale and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale .the Fitness of the proposed model was examined through structural equation modeling, using SPSS-22 and AMOS-21 software packages. The indirect effects were tested using the bootstrap procedure. Results: Findings indicated that the proposed model fits the data relatively. Direct paths from emotional dysregulation and impulsivity to food addiction, emotional dysregulation , and self-esteem to impulsivity and the indirect path from emotional dysregulation and self-esteem to food addiction with the mediating role of impulsivity were statistically significant, but the direct paths from emotional eating and self-esteem to food addiction were not significant. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, emotional dysregulation and impulsivity have a direct effect, and self-esteem has an indirect effect through impulsivity on food addiction.

Objective: Impulsiveness has been robustly associated with alcohol and drug misuse, but have received little attention in the context of food addiction. The goal of the current study was to examine the interrelationships between impulsiveness, food addiction, and Body Mass Index (BMI). Method: The design of this project was correlational. 60 female students selected using available sampling among female students of Shiraz University.They completed the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale to assess impulsive personality traits, the Yale Food Addiction Scale to assess patterns of addictive consumption of food and provided weight and height to generate BMI. To analyze the data, the software of SPSS22 and AMOS22, the statistical methods of descriptive indexes and path analysis were conducted. Results: Impulsiveness predicted food addiction (F= 17, > ρ 0.0001) and BMI (F= 1, > ρ 0.0001), also food addiction predicted BMI (F= 1.06, > ρ 0.0001). Impulsivity was found to be indirectly associated with BMI by way of associations with addictive consumption of food (RMSEA= 0.0001). Conclusion: Dispositional impulsivity, routinely associated with high-risk behaviors including addictive consumption of alcohol and drugs, may be an important risk factor when considering tendency to engage in addictive consumption of food. Monitoring food addiction symptoms early may help reduce the likelihood that compulsive food consumption patterns result in weight gain and obesity.

Objective: This study examines the predictive power of impulsiveness and obesity on time perception. Method: In this descriptive study, 50 women with normal weight and 50 obese women with accessible method were selected. Research Tools was the Barratt Impulsiveness questionnaire and reproduction method to measure time perception time. Result: Motor impulsiveness prospected time perception to be negative. Between obese and normal weight subjects did not show significant differences in impulsiveness and perception of time, but Were dispersed time perception scores in obese patients, results are discussed. Conclusion: Different prior researches results, various methods of measuring impulsivity, the time perception and different classes of obesity, it is suggested, further research in this area should be conducted according to all methods of measurement .
