Abstract
The present study aims to evaluate the Structural relations of brain-behavioral systems and Emotion regulation difficulties with Generalized Anxiety Disorder symptoms. For sample selection, 240 students (120 male and 120 female) in Tabriz University were selected through multistage sampling and answered the following questionnaires: Carver and White's Behavioral Inhibition and Activation Scale, the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire-IV. For data analysis, Confirmatory Factor Analysis and the Structural Equation Modeling technique was used. The structural model with evaluated using the chi-square test, the Root Mean Square Error of Approximation, the Standard Root Mean Square Residual, the Goodness of Fit Index, the comparative fit index, the Normed fit index, the Incremental Fit Index and the Tucker-Lewis index demonstrated that brain-behavioral systems and Emotion regulation difficulties have a significant relationship with generalized anxiety disorder and that the hypothetical structure has a suitable fitness. Relying on these findings, it can be concluded that Emotion regulation difficulties can significantly mediate between brain-behavioral systems and generalized anxiety disorder.
