The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of Hypomanic Activation, Demoralization and Dysfunctional Negative Emotions Based on the Minnesota multiphasic personality inventory-2-restructured form (MMPI-2RF) in anxiety, depression and sexual motivation of people with sexual dysfunction.This descriptive correlational study was performed on all persons with sexual dysfunction who referred to counseling centers and medical clinics in Mashhad for treatment of sexual problems. The sample included 336 individuals. An available sampling method was used to select the sample. Data were collected using the Minnesota multiphasic personality inventory-2-restructured form (MMPI-2RF) and the multidimensional sexual problems questionnaire (subscale of anxiety, depression and sexual motivation). Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis were used to investigate the research hypotheses using SPSS-22 software.Findings showed that there was a significant positive correlation between hypomanic activation, demoralization and dysfunctional negative emotions with anxiety and sexual depression and a negative significant relationship with sexual motivation (p < 0.01). In addition, it was found that hypomanic activation, demoralization and dysfunctional negative emotions explained 22% of the variance in sexual anxiety (R Square= 0.22). It was also found that 23% of the variance in sexual depression is explained by hypomanic activation and demoralization. Hypomanic activation and demoralization also account for 14% of the variance in sexual motivation.The findings of the present study indicate the role of hypomanic activation, demoralization and dysfunctional negative emotions in anxiety, depression and sexual motivation in patients with sexual dysfunction.

In order to examine the research hypotheses, multiple regression analysis was used. Multiple regression analysis showed that body-image shame, adaptive self-compassion and Shame from others predict eating Attitudes, but maladaptive self-compassion and Intolerance of Uncertainty did not play a role in explaining this relationship. These findings emphasize on the facilitating role of self-compassion abilities and pathogenic effects of shame in pathology of eating Attitudes.

The participants completed Parental Involvement Questionnaire (based on parent report), Parental Involvement Questionnaire (based on student report), Academic Motivation Scale, Engagement Scale and Academic Achievement. Data were analyzed by Lisrel and SPSS22 software, using structural equation modeling. The results of this study showed that proposed model has an acceptable fit with the data. In addition, motivation and academic engagement mediated the relationship between parental involvement and academic achievement of high school students. In sum, results of this study emphasized the importance of communication and parental involvement in students’ academic activities.
