A sample of 30 subjects was selected through purposeful sampling and randomly divided into two groups (15 subjects) and control (15 subjects). Then, the experimental group was trained by mindfulness-based stress reduction program in 8 sessions. To collect data, a short form reef psychological well-being scale (RSPWB-SF) and an emotional adjustment difficulty questionnaire (DERS) were used. The data were analyzed using covariance analysis and analyzed using SPSS software. Results: : The results showed that mindfulness-based stress reduction had a significant effect on decreasing the emotion regulation difficulties and its components. Also, there was a significant effect on mindfulness-based stress reduction on psychological well-being and its components.

The purpose of this research was to measuring psychometric properties of the Inventory of Motivations for Suicide Attempts (IMSA). Method: The sample consisted of 250 suicide attempted persons who were selected by Purposive sampling method. The data was analyzed through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis.Result: The results of the exploratory factor analysis identified 9 factors, which in total, explained 64.11% of the variance in mental pain. 43 items in 9 factors were validated by confirmatory factor analysis. Cronbach’s alpha was 0.94 for the whole IMSA, 0.83 for Hopelessness, 0.75 for Psychache, 0.76 for Escape, 0.68 for Burdensomeness, 0.68 for Low Belongingness, 0.68 for Fearlessness, 0.72 for Interpersonal Influence, 0.75 for Help-Seeking and 0.73 for Impulsivity.Conclusion: Persian version of Inventory of Motivations for Suicide Attempts (IMSA) has acceptable psychometric properties among Suicide Attempts and can be used as a valid tool for both clinical and research goals when a comprehensive assessment of Motivations for Suicide Attempts is needed.

Method: Statistical population was composed of all women that referred to sexual clinics of Tehran city that 220 qualified women selected by clustering sampling method. The research tool included Gender Schemas Scale (Andersen & Cyranowski, 1994) Multidimensional Vaginal Penetration Disorder Questionnaire (Molaie Nezhad, et al., 2014), and Social Exchange Styles Scale (Leybman etai., 2011). The Fitness of the proposed model was estimated through structural equation modeling (SEM) and using Lisrel software package. The mediating relationship in the proposed pattern was tested using the bootstrap procedure.Result: The results of structural equation modeling indicating relative fitness of model and showed that sexual passionate-romantic schema and the sexual shy-prudential schema with the mediation of fairness style had an indirect effect on sexual pain disorder.Conclusion: According to results for the improvement of social exchange styles particularly fairness style must be considered.

Introduction: The purpose of present study was investigating cognitive model of anxiety according to Dugas’s model about anxiety cognitive components in cancer patients. In this model cognitive variables such as intolerance of uncertainty, positive beliefs about worry, cognitive avoidance, negative problem orientation and their direct and indirect effects on worry and anxiety as structural and measurement were investigated. Method: Three hundred of cancer patients was selected from a hospital and chemotherapy clinic in Isfahan city. They were evaluated with intolerance of uncertainty scale, metacognitive questionnaire (positive beliefs about worry subscale), cognitive avoidance scale, negative problem orientation questionnaire, Pen State worry questionnaire and state- trait anxiety inventory. Data of research examined through structural equation modeling. Results: The results show that this model had good fit for cancer patients and relations between mediator variables, Endo and Exo variables are significant. Conclusion: significant variance of worry and anxiety are explained by this model in cancer patients.
