Objective: The motivation for various activities is strongly influenced by individual perceptions of one’s activities toward those activities. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between situational motivation and perceived intensity of exercise in obese women to predict a change in positive effect from a Pilates exercise session. Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 17 obese women with a mean weight of 87.4 ± 0.10, age 39.10 ± 10.0, and a body mass index of 35.9 ± 3.5 voluntarily participated. They responded to the positive affective questionnaire and situational motivation scale before the exercise program. Then performed Pilates training and immediately after the training, they again completed the positive affective questionnaire. The perceived was also measured after exercise. Data were analyzed by paired t-test and hierarchical regression. Results: The results showed a significant difference in the level of positive affect after-before exercise (P≤0.05). Predictive regression analysis was a positive effect on the interaction of internal motivation and perceived severity, as well as their interaction with the identified adjustment factor (P≤0.05). Conclusion: The current findings showed that Pilates exercises improve positive effect in obese women, also internal motivation was seen to be a strong predictor. According to the finding, strengthening the internal motivation in obese women is recommended for physical activity and attaining the positive effect of it.

Objective: This study examined the mediating effect of psychological resilience on the relationship between cognitive appraisal processes and perceived social support with health behaviors and emotional well-being. Method: In a sample consisting of 409 boy adolescents, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Special Support (MSPSS), the Stress Appraisal Measure-Revised (SAM-R), Adolescent Resilience Scale (ARS), Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II (HPLP-II) and the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) were administered. Structural equation modeling was used to assess the mediating effects model of psychological resilience on the relationship between cognitive appraisal processes and perceived social support with health behaviors and emotional well-being. Results: Results showed that the complete mediated model of psychological resilience on the relationship between cognitive appraisal processes and perceived social support and health behaviors and emotional well-being had a good fit to data. Furthermore, all of the regression weights in the hypothesized model were statistically significant and the psychological resilience variable accounted for 25%, 12% and 11% of the variance in health behavior, positive affect, and negative affect, respectively. Conclusion: In sum, these findings show that the part of the available variance in health behaviors and subjective well-being in the context of prediction these behavioral and emotional models by cognitive appraisals and perceived social support accounted for adolescents' psychological resilience.

Objective: The present research aimed at examining the comparison the effectiveness of imagery rescripting and reprocessing therapy and mindfulness-based stress reduction on insomnia and negative automatic thoughts in cancer women. Method: This research method was semi experimental with pretest-posttest design. Using Kendal & Hollon`s negative automatic thoughts and Morien`s insomnia intensity questionnaires, 42 women of cancer who had negative automatic thoughts and insomnia were randomly selected and were voluntarily assigned in two experimental and one control group (each group was 14). The first experimental group received 7 sessions IRRT techniques based on the Smoker`s educational package (once a week) and the second experimental group received 8 sessions MBSR techniques based on the Kabat-Zinn’s educational package (once a week) and the control group did not receive any training in this field. After executing the IRRT and MBSR, negative automatic thoughts and insomnia of the members of the three groups were measured again. Results: Multivariate covariance analysis (Man Cova) was used to analyze data. Calculated F for negative automatic thoughts and insomnia showed a significant difference in all three groups, also IRRT has also been more effective in reducing negative automatic thoughts than MBSR but these two therapeutic methods have no significant difference in insomnia. Conclusion: In general, this research indicated that the IRRT and MBSR method can be considered an effective intervention in reducing negative automatic thoughts and insomnia in women with cancer.

Objective: The aim of this study was to study the memorial symptoms, rumination and post-traumatic growth in women with various types of cancer referred to public hospitals in Tehran. Method: The research method is descriptive and correlation. For this purpose, 189 women with various types of cancer who referred to public hospitals of Tehran City were selected by convenient sampling and voluntarily. They completed the short form of Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, the Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale and Event Related Rumination Inventory. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and regression analysis.Results: The results showed that the intensity and frequency of physical symptoms of cancer and intentional rumination have a positive and significant correlation with post-traumatic growth. Also, the physical symptoms of cancer and intentional rumination can equally predict post-traumatic growth in patients.Conclusion: Paying attention to the course of cancer in patients, and the psychological processes that result from the mental involvement of the patient on the outcomes of the disease can be effective in reducing the bad physical and mental symptoms of cancer and will make the treatment of illness easier for the patient.
