Objective: in recent decades, new perceptions of beauty have been defined and beauty is defined as attractiveness and perfection. The aim of this study was to determine the fit of the structural model of the relationship between the tendency to cosmetic surgery with a negative body image and irrational beliefs mediated by cognitive emotion regulation in women applying for cosmetic surgery in Bushehr. Method: The present study was correlational and structural equation model study. The statistical population of this study is all women applicants for surgery who referred to beauty clinics in Bushehr in 2020. The sample size consists of 400 women who were selected by available random sampling method. Data collection tools were, tendency to cosmetic surgery (Etemadifar & Amani, 2013), Body image (Littleton, 2005), irrational beliefs (jones, 1969) and cognitive emotion regulation (Garnefski, 2001) questionnaires. Findings: The results showed that negative body image and irrational beliefs predicted the tendency to cosmetic surgery in women by mediating role of cognitive emotion regulation. Also, data analysis showed the appropriateness of the indicators and indicated a good and acceptable fitness for the hypothesized model. The findings of the structural model showed that the path of negative body image and irrational beliefs with cognitive emotion regulation is significant directly and with a tendency to cosmetic surgery mediated by cognitive emotion regulation. Conclusion: The results of this study can introduce a protocol for psychotherapists and counselors in providing specialized counseling to women seeking cosmetic surgery to correct irrational beliefs and cognitions and teach coping styles to reduce negative body image and irrational beliefs and increase cognitive emotion regulation.

Objective: Infertility led to personal and social problems among women. The present study was carried out with the aim of evaluating the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on cognitive emotion regulation strategies, body image and resilience of infertile women. Method: The method of the current study being quasi-experimental, was with pretest-posttest design with control group. The statistical population of the study included all infertile women who had referred to Ghadir Hospital of Shiraz in 2019. Using purposeful sampling method, a total of 30 infertile women were selected and were randomly categorized as experimental and control groups. In the pre-test and post-test stages, Resilience Scale, Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire and the body Image Concern Inventory were conducted. After performing the pretest, the experimental group received ACT for 8 sessions of 60 minutes and the control group did not receive any intervention. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance with SPSS-22 software. Findings: The results showed that by controlling the effect of pre-test, there was a significant difference between the mean post-test of the two groups in the variables of adaptive emotion regulation strategies (F=18.173), maladaptive emotion regulation strategies (F=16.163), body image (F=17.593) and resilience (F=16.826) at the level P = 0.01. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, we can make use of ACT for the improvement of emotion regulation strategies, body image and resilience of infertile women.

Objective: MS is chronic and progressive in nature and affects various aspects of a person's life and affects his or her thoughts. The aim of this study was to predict the tendency to suicidal thoughts based on psychological hardiness and perceived Physical image in MS Patients. Method: In this descriptive correlational study, according to Morgan table and by available sampling method, 306 people were selected as a sample group from a statistical population of 1500 patients with multiple sclerosis in Qom in 1399. The instruments used were questionnaires of Suicide ideation (Beck, 1961), Psychological hardiness (Lang and Golet, 1981) and Body-Self relationships (Kash et al., 1987). Data analysis performed using Pearson correlation and multiple regression using SPSS22 software. Findings: The data showed that the tendency to suicidal thoughts was significantly correlated with psychological hardiness (r=-0.762, p<0.01) and perceived body image (r=-0.424, p<0.01) and also showed that psychological hardiness with beta -0.734 and perceived body image with beta -0.156 at the error level of 0.05 can predict the tendency to suicidal thoughts. Conclusion: The results of the study suggest that the promotion of psychological hardiness in patients with MS allows access to a list of coping strategies against the pressures caused by events; improving body image perception leads to their problem-oriented approach to problems and maintaining their mental health.

Introduction: The purpose of the present research was to compare body image problems and Social Physique Anxiety between obese and normal weight adolescents by examining the moderating role of sociocultural influence on weight loss and body change. Method: In this cross-sectional-descriptive study, 70 obese adolescent girls and 72 adolescent girls with normal weight were selected from among Tabriz City high school students and were matched according to education, gender, and age. Results: The results of two-factor ANOVA showed significant difference between obese adolescents and normal weight adolescents with regard to body image and Social Physique Anxiety. Also the results showed that a high Sociocultural influence on Weight loss and body change have significant role in the rise of the Social Physique Anxiety. However, it did not have any significant moderating role in the social physique anxiety or the body image problems. Conclusion: According to the results obtained, we can conclude that obesity and high sociocultural influence on Weight Loss and body change are important factors in rising body image problems and Social Physique Anxiety. But sociocultural influence does not modify the role of obesity on the increase or decrease of body image problems and social anxiety.

Objective: Obesity is one of the health threatening problems and the second preventable mortality factor, the prevalence of which is increasing. The most frequent consequence of obesity treatment among adults is weight regain; so, preventing gradual weight regain should be the first goal in this case. The present study aims at determining the predictive power of biological, psychological and social factors in maintaining weight in the overweight and the obese.
Method: Therefore, 157 obese women referred to Sina Hospital Obesity Clinic were selected by purposeful sampling method. The subjects filled out the self-report questionnaires at the beginning of the study. Then, they underwent diet and sport medicine interventions. At the end of the sixth month, weight of the subjects was measured and the weight loss was studied.
Results: Results obtained from stepwise regression analysis indicated that among the studied variables of the research, subjective weight (SW), weight cycling, state and trait anxiety, body areas satisfaction (BAS) and appearance evaluation (AE) have more predictive power in explaining weight maintenance variance and could explain successful weight maintenance by 37%.
Conclusion: The findings of the study show that weight maintenance has a positive meaningful relationship with subjective weight (SW), weight cycling, state anxiety and body areas satisfaction (BAS); also, there is a meaningful negative relationship with the said variable and trait anxiety and appearance evaluation (AE). Hence, programming for cognitive and emotional interventions is assumed necessary in clinical interventions for obesity.
