Method: The methodology of current study was in the framework of correlational design. Sample of study included 100 personnel of Tabriz Amiralmomenin Hospital who were selected through random sampling. Data collection was conducted applying Jason’s chronic fatigue questionnaire and Neura’s questionnaire of five personality factor and Walker's Lifestyle Improvement. A structural equation model was used to analyze the data. Results: The results indicate the role of mediator of health promoting lifestyle in relation to chronic fatigue syndrome with personality factors. According to the findings, the relationship between chronic fatigue syndrome and personality factors such as; Neuroticism(0/583), Extroversion(-0/404), Openness(-0/186), Experiences (-0/383), conscientious(-0/231) and Healthy lifestyle(-0/472). Conclusion: The results indicate the role of mediator of health promoting lifestyle in relation to chronic fatigue syndrome and personality factors. The effect of chronic fatigue syndrome is directly related to personality factors and the health promotion lifestyle as a mediator variable has an indirect effect on this relationship

Objective: Just as the researchers always pay attention to the factors related to the Physical health, therefore, the present study considered Prediction of physical health based on academic stressors and humor styles in the university students. Method: Students of Ahwaz Payam- Noor University are the statistical population of the present study, that 259 people (200 female & 59 males) were selected by multi-stage random sampling. The study design is a correlation. For collecting the research data, it was used the questionnaire of the academic stressors, humor styles & physical health established in 1396, the analysis of the findings was done by the statistical software spss & with the help of the descriptive & inferential statistics. Results: The research results show that the academic stressors & humor styles have a negative correlation with the physical health & they have a positive correlation between the Self-defeating humor with the physical health. The resulting analysis of regression showed academic stressors & humor styles except the affiliate humor styles can anticipate & explain the physical health variables. Conclusion: The present study showed that in order that to reduce the bodily diseases & the academic stressors of the students, we should identify the academic stressors of the students & the ways to counter them & develop the humor styles

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.
Keywords: Body Mass Index, Impulsivity, food addiction.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the mediating role of the perceived support in predicting psychological distress based on emotional control and coping styles in the mothers of children with thalassemia. Method:The statistical population included the mothers of children with thalassemia in Tehran. The convenience sampling method was used to select 200 subjects as the sample.Results: The research evidence and the results of the confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the perceived support had the mediation role in predicting psychological distress, based on coping styles, but it didn’t have the mediation role in predicting psychological distress, based on emotional control. Also the perceived support had a significantly direct impact on psychological distress (-0.75). Emotional control had a significantly direct impact on psychological distress, too (0.36). The significantly direct impact of coping styles on psychological distress and the perceived support was 0.36; however, emotional control did not have a significantly direct impact on the perceived support. Conclusion: According to the research findings, it can be concluded that the perceived support, emotional control and coping styles influenced the psychological distress among the mothers of children with thalassemia. Therefore, training in these topics can help reduce the psychological distress among the mothers of children with Tallahassee.

Objective: Many health problems arise directly from people`s behavioral choices, but people often do not behave in ways that could improve their health and extend their lives. The purpose of this study is to explore how self-compassion may play a role in relationship between self-control and health. Methods: To do so, 127 students (45 males and 82 females) of the university of Tehran filled four-dimensional measure of health questionnaire and short form of self-compassion and self-control scales. Findings: The results revealed that self-compassion and self-control were correlated positively with health and the result of hierarchical regression analysis showed the moderating effect of self-compassion on the relationship between self-control and health. So that, in the higher level of self-compassion, self-control was a better predictor of health. Conclusion: These results are discussed in terms of the role of self-compassion in the stages of self-control (setting goals, taking action, evaluation and emotion regulation).

AbstractBackground : the study of self esteem is one of the most common methods for studying individual differences in psychology.Acording the theory of the relationship between self-esteem and cardiovascular function ( Martinz , Greenberg, and Alan, 2008 ) self-esteem it can be related with feelings of safety in the encounter with threat and stress Objectives: The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between explicit and implicit self-esteem levels, with heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure as index of cardiovascular Methods: This study was a correlative study on a sample of 320 subjects of university with random sampling. Explicit and implicit self-esteem of subjects measured entering to laboratory of university and then blood pressure and heart rate were measured. Results: The results of Spearman's correlation coefficient and regression analysis showed that btween explicit self-esteem and cardiovascular function parameters were significant negative (p>0/01) correlation in all three cases. Regression analysis of data showed that explicit and implicit self-esteem could significantly predict systolic blood pressure and heart rate. In both cases, implicit self -esteem are more predictive power than explicit self-esteem. Conclusion: In overall results showed that low self-esteem significantly can be predictive of high heart rate and blood pressure and otherwise, high self-esteem can be predictive of low heart rate and blood pressure.
