Method: The research method was correlation with structured equation modeling. Among all the secondary school students of the eleventh grade, who were studying in Tehran in 2017-18, 500 students were selected through multistage cluster random sampling. FAM and Taylor's (1999) academic performance, Martin and Marsh (2006) academic buoyancy, Diperna and Elliott's (1999) academic competency assessment, Pekran, Goetz, Titz and Perry's (2005) academic excitement, social support of peers Biodery, Sharp and Otis (2008) and the social support of peers Persido and Heller (1983) were administered on students.Results: Based on the model presented, teacher's social support and buoyancy was mediated by competency and academic excitement. But this relationship was not approved for peer support. Peer support was directly related to academic buoyancy. However, academic performance variable was explained as R^2 =65% and buoyancy variable as R^2=30%. Direct, indirect coefficients and the total effect of the variables showed that the teacher's social support had the greatest total effect (0.60), student's academic competence (0.47) effect on student's academic performance; negative academic excitement (0.44) has an effect on academic performance; positive academic performance; positive academic emotions showed the least effect (0.15) on academic performance. Students' academic competence has the greatest effect on students' buoyancy (-0.54), academic competence (0.30), peer social support (0.27), positive emotions (0.26) and negative emotions (0.22). In other words, increasing academic competence or academic excitement or social support of the teacher towards its standard deviation causes a direct effect of 0.65 on students' academic performance.

IntroductionOne of the serious harms that threaten developing societies, including Iran, is the growing number of labor children who, for various reasons, spend part or all of their time on the streets, which is an unsafe and stressful environment for children. There are many children who are forced to work in inappropriate environments due to not having a good caregiver or having bad caregiver (Hosseini, 2005; Fatima, 2017). During development, children and adolescents experience a wide range of anxieties (Ghorban Shiroodi, 2014), and as labor children live in unhealthy environments, they are exposed to many mental and physical disorders (Ahmadi Tabar, Jafari, & Shafiei, 2020). Anxiety is a cause of disability in children and not only causes chronic fatigue and other physical discomforts but also disturb their relationships with peers and family (Kidwell, Nelson, & Van Dyk, 2015). Although in recent years, various methods have been used to treat anxiety in children, art therapy is accepted today as one of the most effective methods of treatment. One of these art programs is play (Holmwood, 2017). Drama therapy is group therapy and active and experiential therapy (Berger, 2019) that uses a combination of various theatrical techniques such as role-play, pantomime, puppetry, improvisation, and other methods (Leather & Kewley, 2019).

The present study aimed to determine the relationship between childhood maltreatment and mental health through the mediating role of experiential avoidance in girl students. The research method was descriptive-correlation and structural equation modeling. The statistical population included all-girl undergraduate students of Razi University of Kermanshah in the academic year 2019-2020, from which 366 students were selected as a sample group by multi-stage cluster sampling and were surveyed by Child Abuse Self-Report Scale (SASRS), Depression, Anxiety & Stress Scale (DASS-21), and Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II (AAQ-II). Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and path analysis using version 26 of SPSS and AMOS software. The results indicate a significant mediating role of experiential avoidance for the relationship between childhood maltreatment and depression (β: 0.22), anxiety (β: 0.12), and stress (0.17). According to the results of the present study, childhood maltreatment is the basis for using an experiential avoidance strategy, which leads to an increase in depression, anxiety, and stress in victims of childhood maltreatment.

The aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of immunization training against stress and self-compassion training on sense of agency,emotion regulation in male adolescents in Ahvaz.The research design was quasi-experimental of pre-test, post-test and control group and two-month follow-up stage.The statistical population of the study was all male adolescents in Ahvaz in the academic year 1401-1400, of which 75 male high school students were randomly selected and randomly divided into two experimental groups and a control group.The first experimental group was trained immunization against stress Mykenbaum (2008), in 8 sessions of 90 minutes, and the second experimental group was trained self-compassion Gilbert(2009), in 8 sessions of 90 minutes and the control group did not receive any interventions. The instruments used included the Woody Sense-Functioning Scale(2013) and the Garnefski & Craig(2002) Short Form Cognitive Emotion Styles Questionnaire. The results of data analysis showed that stress immunization training and self-compassion training had an effect on the sense of agency, positive and negative emotion regulation compared to the control group in male adolescents. (p <0.001) also It was found that stress immunization training was more effective than self-compassion training in increasing positive sense of agency and positive emotion regulation and decreasing negative emotion regulation (p <0.001). The results in the follow-up phase were also stable. Therefore, using the immunization training method against stress as a more effective intervention can be used to increase the sense of agency and positive emotion regulation and reduce the negative emotion regulation of male adolescents.

Summary: In this study, two well-known therapies that have had acceptable efficacy on diabetes are compared with each other. In fact, the purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and the Diabetes Self-Care Program (DSMP) that is a health-promoting lifestyle intervention on diabetes adjustment and perception. Method: A number of 60 patients referred to Tehran Diabetes Clinics were selected and randomly assigned to three groups of 20 patients: one group under ACT intervention, one group under DSMP intervention and one control group that did not receive any intervention. All groups received medicine. All three groups were examined in three stages, before and after intervention and follow-up study by diabetes adjustment and diabetes perception questionnaire. Then, the collected data analyzed by descriptive statistics and mixed variance analysis (Intragroup, intergroup and interactive). Results: The results show that both ACT and DSMP methods are effective in improving disease adaptation (F = 5/515, P value <0.001) and disease perception (F = 0.665, P value <0.001). The follow-up phase also maintains its effectiveness. Also, a comparison of the two treatments shows that the ACT method is more effective than the DSMP method. Conclusion: It seems that Act protocol for type 2 diabetic patients can be significantly more effective than DSMP. It seems that the acceptance factor, values, commitment and other hexagonal factors of ACT can lead patients to a better understanding of diabetes, which may improve their adaptation and self-care behaviors.

The purpose of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of compassion focused therapy and positivist psychology with well-being approach on alexithymia, adaptive behavior and adherence to treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes. The research design was a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest with control group. The sample size included 45 patients with type 2 diabetes who were selected by purposive sampling. Of these, 15 were assigned to the experimental group of compassion focused therapy, 15 to the experimental group of positivist psychology with well-being approach and 15 to the control group by simple random sampling. To collect research data, the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (Bagby et al., 1994), the Psycho-social Adjustment with Illness Scale (Derogatis, 1990) and the Adherence Questionnaire (Modanloo, 2013) were used. The compassion focused experimental group received 8 sessions of two-hour intervention and the experimental group of positive psychology with well-being approach received 8 two-hour sessions, too. Multivariate Analysis of Covariance (MANCOVA) was used to analyze the data. The results showed that both therapeutic approaches in the post-test phase had a significant effect on alexithymia, adaptive behavior and adherence to treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes (p<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two intervention methods in each of the dependent variables. Based on the findings, it can be said that the application of both therapeutic approaches is effective in reducing alexithymia and increasing the level of adaptive behavior as well as adherence to treatment.

Psychological approaches and consumer personality traits in changing consumer behavior is a key product marketing strategy. Sensory marketing and its related elements in order to influence consumer behavior and emotional arousal of customers or mental imagery are new tools of marketing management. Product color is one of the first variables that the consumer encounters when viewing the product, so it will have the greatest impact on the visual and perceptual sense of customers. Color psychology is used in product design and marketing not only for aesthetics and physical appeal, but also as a tool to convey meaning, evaluate, judge, and provide information to consumers. This study was conducted by qualitative method with constructive grounded theory approach. This study aimed to provide a comprehensive framework on the role of product color in consumer behavior. Using constructive grounded analysis, 41 sub-categories and eight main categories were identified and the theory was presented based on the Charmaz method. The main categories of the role of product color in consumer behavior include psychological dimensions of the product, personal interests and preferences, consumer response, socio-cultural dimension, biological / physical / sensory-motor responses, color characteristics and finally consumer demographics.

The present study is a descriptive correlational study. The statistical population of the study included the second high school students in Rasht in the academic year 2020-2021. In the present study, 170 students participated in the study using available sampling method. To collect data from the Fear Coronavirus 2019 Ahorsu et al. (2019); The use of social networks was used by Shi et al. (2014), cognitive flexibility Dennis & Vander Wal (2010), and anxiety sensitivity Taylor et al. (2007). The collected data were analyzed by Pearson correlation test and multiple regression analysis. The results showed that the use of social networks and anxiety sensitivity had a positive and significant correlation with corona phobia (P <0.01). In contrast, there was a significant negative relationship between cognitive flexibility and coronary phobia (P <0.01). The regression results showed that the research variables could significantly predict 61% of coronary phobia changes. It is concluded that there is a direct relationship between social networks, cognitive flexibility and anxiety sensitivity with students' corona phobia. For two years have passed since the outbreak of COVID-19 and the deadly virus is still mutating, measures need to be taken to control the use of social media and increase students' mental health.Keywords: Corona phobia, Using Social Networks, Cognitive Flexibility, Anxiety Sensitivity

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Transactional Analysis (TA) Group Training on the components of teacher-student Interactive style in elementary school. The research method is quasi-experimental in terms of a method with pretest, posttest, and control group design. The statistical population included female primary school teachers in Tabas city in 2009-10 academic years. In this study, 30 female primary school teachers were selected by the Convenience Sampling method and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Experimental group teachers were trained in Transactional Analysis Training for 10 sessions of 90 minutes over 5 weeks but the teachers of the control group did not receive any intervention. In this study, the Teacher-Student Interaction Style Questionnaire from Lourdusamy and Khine (QTI) was used. The data were analyzed by Multivariable Analyze of Covariance (MANCOVA) via SPSS-18 software. The results showed that Transactional Analysis group training had a significant effect on the components of leadership (p<0.05), helpful/friendly (p<0.01), understanding (p<0.05), dissatisfaction (p<0.05), and admonishing (p<0.01) and there was no sign in the component of Responsibility/Freedom, Uncertain and Strict. The results show that Transactional Analysis group training for teachers improves their style of interaction with students through effectiveness on leadership, helpful/friendly, Students' understanding, reduces dissatisfaction from the class situation and admonishing. Therefore, it is recommended that teachers be taught the concepts and strategies of this theory in schools.
