Introduction
Obsession is a chronic anxiety disorder that is associated with excessive mental preoccupation with order and detail, as well as perfectionism, to the extent that it leads to the loss of flexibility, openness, and efficiency, which, despite the high prevalence, is one of the most resistant disorders to treatment.Obsessive-compulsive disorder sufferers experience a range of emotional reactions when faced with situations that trigger obsessive thoughts and actions. There are individual differences related to the sensitivity to these emotions and the way they are regulated, which is called emotional regulation (Hoffman, Carpenter, & Joshua, 2016). Therefore, the purpose of this research was to investigate the structural relationships between borderline personality disorder symptoms and attachment styles with obsessive symptoms through emotion regulation.
Method
Research design the present is a descriptive correlation (Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and its sampling method is cluster random, so that 5 faculties of Tabriz University were randomly selected and 200 questionnaires were randomly distributed among the faculties. In order to measure the signs of obsession from the obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCI-R) list, borderline personality traits from the Borderline Personality Disorder (STB) questionnaire, and attachment styles from the Hazen and shaver and Emotion Regulation Questionnaire from Gross and John (2003) The data were analyzed through structural equation modeling
Results
The obtained data were analyzed through structural equation modeling. The results showed that the effect of borderline personality disorder on obsessive symptoms is significant with an effect size of 0.35. The effect of borderline personality disorder on reappraisal is significant with an effect size of -0.52, and the effect of borderline personality disorder on repression is significant with an effect size of 0.38. The effect of borderline personality disorder on obsessive symptoms due to reappraisal is significant with an effect size of -0.36, and the effect of borderline personality disorder on obsessive symptoms due to suppression is significant with an effect size of 0.16. The effect of secure attachment on obsessive symptoms is significant with an effect size of -0.39. The effect of secure attachment on reappraisal and suppression is significant with an effect size of -0.31. The effect of avoidant attachment on obsessive symptoms is significant with an effect size of 0.27, on reappraisal with an effect size of -0.32, and on suppression with an effect size of 0.31. The effect of avoidant attachment on obsessive symptoms is not significant due to reappraisal with an effect size of -0.07 and suppression with an effect size of 0.06. The effect of ambivalent attachment is significant on obsessive symptoms with an effect size of 0.30, on reappraisal with an effect size of -0.29, and on suppression with an effect size of 0.50. The effect of ambivalent attachment on obsessive symptoms due to reappraisal is not significant with an effect size of -0.09, and the effect of ambivalent attachment on obsessive symptoms due to suppression is significant with an effect size of 0.15.
Discussion
Therefore, it can be concluded that the findings of this research can have important practical effects for clinical therapists and psychologists to pay attention to the structural relationships of borderline personality disorder symptoms and attachment styles with obsessive symptoms through emotional regulation.

The aim of this research was determining the role of attachment style in social phobia regarding the meditating effects of self-esteem. The participants were 201 female students in the University of Tabriz who were selected through multistage cluster sampling and completed the Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN), the Attachment Style Questionnaire (AAQ) and the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale (RESS). The data was analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Data analysis showed that the measured model fit the data properly. Secure attachment style and self-esteem had a positive role in the variation of social phobia. Insecure and avoidant attachment styles had a negative and notable effect on the variations of social phobia. Also, secure attachment style had a positive and insecure and avoidant attachment styles had a negative role in determining self-esteem, and self-esteem had a negative and meaningful effect in social phobia. Based on the obtained results, we can say that social phobia is influenced by interfamily factors, especially affective relationships with relatives, and these relationships are able to affect one’s images of oneself.

The purpose of the current study was to predict Borderline Personality Disorder in terms of childhood traumatic events (i.e., the history of maltreatment, early losses and separation from family members) with the mediating role of emotion dysregulation. In this regard, 413 participants were selected through multistage sampling from all the students studying at Tehran University. The Demographic Questionnaire, the Difficulties in the Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), the Borderline Personality Scale and the Child Abuse Questionnaire, were used to measure the variables. The raw data collected, was analyzed by structural equation modeling. The findings were similar to the results of previous studies. The results revealed that the theoretical model is suitably fit and childhood traumatic experiences (especially emotional abuse) and emotion dysregulation are good predictors for borderline personality disorder.
