Worry is considered as a common cognitive factor in most of psychological disorders, particularly anxiety disorders. It has a significant role in psychopathology of obsessive-compulsive disorder. The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and worry in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder regarding to the moderating role of metacognitive beliefs and deficit in cognitive emotion regulation. 100 patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (78 female, 22 male) participated in this study. All participants completed Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale (IUS), Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ), Metacognitve Beliefs Questionnaire (MCBQ), and Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ). Results showed that intolerance of uncertainty could predict worry in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Further, findings revealed that the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and worry in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder was moderated by metacognitive beliefs and deficit in cognitive emotion regulation. Hence, it could be concluded that the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and worry is not a simple linear one. This is partly moderated by metacognitive beliefs and deficit in cognitive emotion regulation.

Stress is one of the effective factors in decreasing employees' performance. A lot of studies have investigated some of related factors. The aim of this study was to determine the role of personality and emotional intelligence in employees' perceived stress. In this study, participants were 306 employees of Motogen Company in Tabriz. They were asked to complete Personality Inventory (NEO-FFI; Costa & McCrae, 1992), Emotional Intelligence Test (Bradbury & Greaves, 2005) and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-14; Cohen et al, 1983). Data were analyzed by Pearson correlation coefficient and Hierarchical multiple regression method. Findings revealed that there was a positive relationship between neuroticism and perceived stress. Besides, there was a negative relationship between other personality factors (except to openness to experience), dimensions of emotional intelligence and perceived stress (p<.01). Being married, education level, neuroticism, self-management and relationship management had significant role in the prediction of perceived stress. These factors accounted for 56.7% of total variance in the perceived stress (R2=.567). The results suggest that therapeutic interventions and psychological trainings for employees of productive companies and factories could focus on some of emotional intelligence dimensions as well as neuroticism, alongside with demographic factors.

The purpose of this study was to predict marital adjustment through personality factors and early maladaptive schemas. This study was conducted by a correlational method and was the kind of structural equation modeling. The study population consisted of all parents of students in Kamyaran, Iran in 2014. The sample consisted of 500 parents (250 couples) who were selected by two-stage cluster sampling method and completed personality factors (NEO-FFI), early maladaptive schemas (YSQ-SF) and marital adjustment (RDAS) questionnaire. Data were analyzed using AMOS software. Findings indicated a positive and significant relationship between marital adjustment and personality factors (except neuroticism) and a negative relationship between marital adjustment and early maladaptive schemas. Also, results showed that there was a positive relationship between neuroticism as well as maladaptive schemas and negative relationship between other personality factors and maladaptive schemas. Results suggest that personality factors and early maladaptive schemas could be regarded as a good predictor of marital adjustment. Using these two variables in predicting marital adjustment, compatibility of couples could be enhanced in marriage consultation trainings.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between general self-efficacy, gender roles and psychological hardiness. Therefore, using random stratified sampling, 192 graduate students of Mazandaran University in hard (pure mathematics, computer, physics) and soft (educational sciences, English literature, Persian literature and economics) fields of study were selected. Data were collected through psychological hardiness scale, general self-efficacy scale, and Bem’s gender role scale. Findings showed that correlations of psychological hardiness and general self-efficacy as well as masculity and feminity roles were respectively .55, -.037, -.097. Regression analysis demonstrated that only general self-efficacy could explain 31.5% of the psychological hardiness variance. Results suggest that regardless of gender roles, there is a relationship between effective commitment in confrontation with life challenges and the individual’s view of his/her capabilities and personal efficacy.

Previous work in the area of sexual offending has suggested that factors such as intimacy deficits, problems of empathizing with victim and cognitive distortions have all been associated with the genesis and maintenance of sexual abuse. The purpose of this study was to examine global and specific deficit theory of mind in sex offenders (rapist and child molester). 60 incarcerated sex offenders (30 rapist, 30 child molesters), and 60 control group participated in this study.
TOM was assessed by eye’s task and specific TOM was evaluated by sex offenders’ cognitive distortions questionnaire. Results showed that sex offenders exhibited more impairments in global and specific TOM, which was statistically significant. Besides, there was no significant difference between rapists and child molesters in terms of global TOM however, there was significance in terms of specific TOM between both groups, which suggests more Hence, it could be proposed that problems of sex offenders in intimacy, empathy, and cognitive distortions result from deficit in theory of Mind.

Therefore, using random cluster sampling, 250 students (95 male and 155 female) were selected. They completed Carver and White behavioral activation-inhibition systems scale as well as Elliot and McGregor 2×2 goal orientation scale. Data were analyzed by multiple regression method. Results indicated that reward-punishment responsiveness dimension could positively predict mastery approach, mastery avoidance, and performance avoidance goal orientations. Drive for success could positively predict mastery approach and performance approach goal orientations. Also, fun and excitement seeking dimension could positively predict performance approach and mastery avoidance. Each of dimensions of activation-inhibition systems predicted unique pattern of students’ achievement goal orientations that reveals the importance of mood dispositions in predicting different kinds of goal orientations.

The prevalence of cardiovascular diseases is increasing in industrial and developing countries. However, few studies have investingated the effect of psychological factors, especially personality factors as a risk factor in heart diseases. Therefore, this study aimed to compare irrational beliefs, social support and type A personalityin patients with coronary heart disease and healthy people. Using convenience sampling, 100 patients were selected who referred to Heshmat Hospital of Rasht city from April to September 2010. Also, 100 healthy subjects were selected among the people who accompanied the patients. They were matched in terms of some demographic factors. They were completed irrational beliefs, social support and type A questionnaires. Result showed that there were significant differences between both groups interms of irrational beliefs (demand for approval, high self-expectation, blame proneness, frustration reactive, anxiety, helplessness for change), social support (family support) and type A personality. Hence, there is a close relationship between irrational beliefs, social support, and Type A personalityand incidence and continuance of coronary heart disease. So, the application of psychological interventions seems to be necessary for controlling of the mentioned variables.
