Objective: Scientists have always been interested in the mutual relationship between psychological and physical health. Besides, the emotion regulation strategies as the moderator play a great role in this relationship. The aim of the present study was to explore how repressiveness and mindfulness may play a role as a moderator in the effects of psychological distress on the physical symptoms.Method: In this regard, 271 Iranian university students answered the short-form of the Weinberger Adjustment Inventory, the Mindful Attention and Awareness Scale, and the Bartone Symptoms checklist. Results: The result of the hierarchical regression analysis showed the moderating effect of repressiveness and mindfulness. This means, in high distress, those with high mindfulness and those with high repressiveness, reported lower scores in physical symptoms. Whilst, in the low distress, those with high repressiveness, reported more scores in physical symptoms than those with low repressiveness. Conclusion: These results are discussed in terms of adaptivity of the mindfulness and repressors' overly positive self-evaluations in the different distress situations

Objective: The main purpose of the present study was to investigate psychometric properties of the Brief Religious Coping Scale (BRCS, Pargament, Koenig & Perez, 2000) among male and female cancer patients. 155 cancer patients (119 female, 36 male) completed the Brief Religious Coping Scale. Method: The exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis methods and internal consistency coefficients were used to compute the BRCS's factorial validity and reliability, respectively. Results: The results of principal component analysis (PC) with varimax rotation replicated 2-factor structure of positive and negative religious coping strategies for cancer patients. Goodness-of-fit indices of confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the 2 extracted factors. Internal consistency coefficients for positive and negative religious coping strategies were 0/85 and 0/80, respectively. Conclusion: In sum, BRCS appears to be a good instrument that does what it was intended to do: assess religious methods of coping in an efficient, psychometrically sound, and theoretically meaningful manner

Aim: The present study aimed to examine the mediating role of anger on the relationship between negative affect and social inhibition with severity of coronary artery stenosis in a sample of patients with coronary artery disease. Method: Method of the present exploratory study was correlational. A total of 200 patients with coronary artery disease (112 men, 88 women) participated in this study. The patients were asked to complete the Multidimensional Anger Inventory (MAI) and Type D Personality Scale (DS14). Results: The results demonstrated that anger, negative affect, and social inhibition had a meaningful association with severity of coronary artery stenosis (p < .01). The results of path analysis also showed that the relationship between negative affect and social inhibition with severity of coronary artery stenosis is mediated by anger. Conclusion: It can be concluded that severity of coronary artery stenosis might be predicted by anger, negative affect, and social inhibition.
