Objective: The Covid-19 virus changes over time and is still present in the world. Therefore, the rate of acceptance of the vaccine and the factors affecting it should be investigated. The aim of this study was to determine the mediating role of personality traits in the relationship between the acceptance rate of corona vaccine and anxiety, depression and stress during the covid-19 pandemic. Method: The current research was descriptive-correlation and structural equation modeling. The statistical population included all adults aged 18 to 60 in Tehran, of which 388 (81 men and 257 women) were selected by the simple random method. To collect data, Hexaco short questionnaire, depression, anxiety and stress questionnaire and the knowledge, attitude, application and concerns questionnaire of the Covid-19 vaccine were used. Then the data were analyzed with SPSS (version 24) and AMOSE (version 24) software. Results: The findings showed that anxiety, depression, and stress have an inverse and significant effect on vaccine resistance or acceptance (β=0.15 and P=0.013). This finding was different from the results of some other researches. It was expected that the acceptance rate of the vaccine would increase with the increase of fear, anxiety and stress. However, in our study it decreased. On the other hand, the results of this research showed that anxiety, depression and stress have a positive and significant effect on personality traits (β=0.41 and P<0.001). Also, the resistance or acceptance of the Covid-19 vaccine was related to anxiety, depression, and stress, and this relationship was significant and inverse and consistent with the results of other studies. Another finding of this research indicated the existence of a relationship between personality traits and vaccine resistance or acceptance (β=0.13 and P=0.021), the results of which were not consistent with some other studies. Conclusion: Generally, the results indicate that the variable of personality traits can play a mediating role (P=0.038) in relation to anxiety, depression, stress resistance or vaccine acceptance. In fact, some personality traits such as extroversion, agreeableness, openness to experience and conscientiousness had less anxiety and stress. Therefore, they managed themselves better during the Covid-19 crisis. On the other hand, people who had higher anxiety and stress were more biased towards information in crisis situations and resisted accepting the Covid-19 vaccine. However, resistance to accepting the Covid-19 vaccine was different in different people. In fact, according to this research, people who had higher stress, anxiety and depression usually had to resist accepting the Covid-19 vaccine. But if they were part of agreeable and negative excitable personality traits, they would show willingness to receive the Covid-19 vaccine. On the other hand, extroverts, who were expected to be willing to accept the Covid-19 vaccine, resisted accepting it.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the structural effect of personality functioning and attachment styles on emotional eating by considering the mediating factor of defense mechanisms. Method: In the correlation design with structural equation modeling method, 800 participants were selected by compliance sampling method. The data collected with Eating Behavior Questionnaire, the Collins and Reed Adult Attachment Style Questionnaire, the Defense Styles Questionnaire and the short form of The Personality Function Levels Scale was completed by the sample. Results: The level of personality functioning (0.52) and the secure (0.91), anxious (0.39) and avoidant (0.51) attachment style have a direct structural effects on emotional eating (P<0.05). The level of personality functioning, considering the mediating factor of mature (0.76), immature (0.83) and neurotic (0.79) defense mechanisms, has an indirect structural effect on emotional eating (P<0.05). Secure (0.61), anxious (0.61) and avoidant (0.72) attachment styles have an indirect structural effect on emotional eating with mediating factor of mature defense mechanisms (P<0.05). Secure (0.78), anxious (0.60) and avoidant (0.79) attachment styles have an indirect structural effect on emotional eating with mediating factor of immature defense mechanisms(P<0.05). Secure (0.86), anxious (0.67) and avoidant (0.73) attachment styles have an indirect structural effect on emotional eating with mediating factor of neurotic defense mechanisms (P<0.05). The results showed that the structural model has an acceptable fit with the collected data. The fit of the structural model implies the direct and indirect role of personality functioning level and attachment styles on emotional eating, considering the mediating role of defense mechanisms. Conclusion: Personality disorders have been linked to uncontrolled and binge eating, suggesting that individuals who binge eat may have more maladaptive and less adaptive personality traits. The emotion regulation theory of eating behavior proposes that emotional eating can improve mood by reducing negative emotions. This overlap in emotion regulation between personality functioning and emotional eating may explain their relationship. Immature defense mechanisms are associated with emotional eating, which acts as a strategic defense to alleviate negative emotions, though it often leads to problems. The way mothers and children interact during stressful situations shapes a child's self-regulation, cognitive and emotional foundations, and coping strategies. Without secure attachment, individuals may struggle to regulate their emotions effectively, resorting to unhealthy strategies like binge eating. These findings could inform the development of psychological interventions and treatment protocols for binge eating and obesity.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the components of personality, rumination and self-compassion in patients with myasthenia gravis and normal individuals. The present study is of applied and causal-comparative type. Method: The statistical population included all patients with myasthenia gravis disorder in Tehran. Using available sampling method, 100 patients (50 patients with myasthenia gravis and 50 healthy individuals) were considered. Research tools included the Neo Personality Inventory (Costa and McCriff 1985), the Ruminant Inventory Inventory (Nolen-Hooksma, 1991), and the Self-Compassion Scale (Neff and Bratos, 2003). One-way analysis of variance was used to analyze the data. Findings: The results showed that there was a significant difference between patients with myasthenia gravis and healthy individuals in terms of personality components, rumination and self-compassion (P <0.01). Conclusion: Therefore, trying to study rumination and disturbed psyche can be an important step to improve the mental health of myasthenia gravis patients

Abstract
Aim: The aim of present study was to investigate the relationship between the pain catastrophizing, pain-related anxiety, social support, coping strategies and neuroticism, with functional disability in Rheumatic patients, in Ahvaz-Iran.
Method: The sample Contained 151 participants who selected via available sample method and completed Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), Pain Anxiety Symptoms Scale (PASS-20), subscale of neuroticism from Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ-R) Arthritis Impact Measurement Scales (AIMS2), and Coping strategies Questionnaire. Functional status were assessed using the three-Factor Model of the Arthritis Impact Scale, 2nd ed., (AIMS2).
Results: The result of a multiple regression analysis showed that pain catastrophizing, pain-related anxiety, social support, coping strategies and neuroticism were able to explain 39% of the variance in the AIMS2. The result of multiple regression analysis with stepwise method indicated that pain catastrophizing, neuroticism, social support and one of coping strategies were variables that entered in the model, respectively. Thesesvariables accounted for 38% of the variance in functional disability.
Conclusion: The present results support the hypothesized role of psychosocial variables in predicting Functional status in Rheumatic patients.
