● Behavioral problems, especially aggression, are common among deaf adolescents.
● Mental health is an essential factor in the development of deaf adolescents in the face of future problems.
● Life skills training can help students deal with problems more successfully and use more effective anger management methods.
Plain Language Summary
Because of the lower mental health in deaf adolescents and lack of interventional studies on the self-esteem and anger control of deaf adolescents and life skills training programs, we conducted this study to examine the benefits of a life skills training program on the improvement of the self-esteem and aggression control of deaf adolescent girls. Mental health is an essential factor in the development of deaf adolescents in the face of future problems. The study of the psychological and social status of deaf adolescents and young adults has shown that low self-confidence, a sense of social insecurity, isolation, generalized anxiety, low motivation, depression, and situational and selective (toward those who are close to the person) aggression are among the salient behavioral and personality characteristics of deaf individuals. Deaf adolescents are mainly characterized by low self-esteem. Life skills training not only empowers people in the present but also improves their abilities in the future. If adolescents and young people are trained about relationship skills in the early stages of their social lives, families, and society will benefit both. In other words, these skills can improve the social and mental capabilities of individuals and make them ready for a useful and productive life

● The study investigated the relationship between existential anxiety and demoralization syndrome.
● That syndrome leads in predicting psychological well-being in patients with cancer.
● There was a significant negative correlation between the existential anxiety and predicting psychological well-being.
Plain Language Summary
Complications of cancer and its treatment caused conventional treatment methods mainly focus on the quantity of life, however, the quality of life of these patients has been widely considered in recent years. Cancer as a chronic disease is equal to a stressful life fot the patients. The negative psychological and physiological evente affects their life. First Ryff (1989) proposed the pattern of positive mental health or psychological well-being, then Frank introduced the concept of demoralization syndrome and described it via indicators such as impotence, isolation, and despair. The high prevalence of cancer in recent y

● The attachment style of children may influence their emotional recognition ability.
● Context can interact with the attachment style and influence emotion recognition.
● We showed that gender influences the interaction between attachment style and the context.
Plain Language Summary
Emotion recognition is an ability that is directly linked to the social development of children. Previous researchers suggested that emotion recognition can be influenced by attachment style and context. However, no research has investigated the interaction between them. In our study, we showed that gender plays a factor in this interaction. Boys make more errors in attachment situations than in neutral situations, while girls demonstrate no difference in these situations. Our findings suggest that future studies take a closer look at the role of gender factors in investing the interaction between attachment, context, and emotion recognition.

● The calculated values showed a significant difference between the control and experimental groups in the mean scores of secure and anxious-ambivalent attachment styles and self-esteem.
● Self-differentiation educational intervention has increased secure attachment and improved anxious-ambivalent attachment in married women.
● Self-differentiation educational intervention has increased the self-esteem of married women.
Plain Language Summary
The family, as an essential element of society, plays a key role in the formation of different social relationships. Attachment styles are one of the concepts that are formed from early childhood and become a pattern of interpersonal relationships in adulthood so that they can predict their adjustment. Self-esteem is an individual trait that has significant effects on the context of family relationships, social interactions, and the degree of differentiation of individuals in marital relationships. Differentiation means the independent identity of the individual in the relationship and is essential for psychological adjustment. Because people in the stage of choosing a spouse tend toward a person with a similar level of differentiation, marital satisfaction is related to the levels of differentiation of couples. The present study was done to determine the effect of self-differentiation training on attachment styles and self-esteem among married women. To this aim, 30 married women who wanted to participate in the training course were selected and placed in two experimental and control (each 15 participants). The experimental group participated in a self-differentiation training course for 8 sessions, but no training was provided for the control group. The results showed that self-d

● ECPP treatment improves maternal emotion regulation.
● ECPP treatment improves mothers’ emotional awareness.
● ECPP treatment improves emotional lability/negativity in children.
● ECPP treatment improves children’s emotional regulation.
● ECPP treatment improves the symptoms of internalizing disorders in children.
Plain Language Summary
One of the necessities in maternal care, especially for children with behavioral problems, is the emotion regulation and emotional awareness of mothers. This issue means that a mother who could not have successful mastery over her various emotions would not convey emotion regulation and emotional awareness to her child. One of the psychological programs that can help mothers with this task is ECPP treatment. Our results showed that this treatment improves mothers’ emotion regulation and emotional awareness. This treatment is also useful in improving the emotion regulation and emotional awareness of their children, and this, in turn, improves the behavioral problems of children.

● The study of cognitive flexibility and social cognition is effective in understanding the factors associated with obsessive-compulsive symptoms.
● Assessing these factors is helpful in preventing and treating the symptoms of this disorder.
Plain Language Summary
This study investigated the relationship between cognitive flexibility and social cognition with obsessive-compulsive symptoms in female students. The statistical population of this study was comprised of all female students at Allameh Tabataba’i University in Tehran and selected using a cluster sampling method. Cognitive flexibility inventory, student social cognition questionnaire, and Maudsley obsessive-compulsive symptoms inventory were used to collect data. The results showed that obsessive-compulsive symptoms have a significant negative relationship with cognitive flexibility and social cognition. Thus, cognitive flexibility and social cognition can explain and predict obsessive-compulsive symptoms in students. The study of cognitive flexibility and social cognition is effective to unders

● Attentional bias, which includes selective allocation of attention resources to some specific aspects of the stimulus, is a cognitive process that helps more to explain and predict suicidal behaviors. Suicide Stroop Test is a modified version of the emotional Stroop test that measures the degree of the interference created by strict processing to support pioneer responses to a stimulus with a given emotion (Cisler, Bacon, & Williams, 2009).
● According to the results obtained from the analyses, the interactive effect of the group, and the Stroop type on the attentional bias is not significant based on none of the scoring methods for the two categories. However, based on the reaction time scoring method, the group’s effect is substantial on attentional bias in both dual and triple categories.
● The results indicated that attentional bias analysis, based on the interference effect, does not provide a significant difference between the three groups. Thus it cannot play any significant role in predicting the groups. However, when reaction time is used as the criterion, all three groups of emotional words (suicide, positive and negative) produce a significant difference between the groups.
● It seems that the assessment of attentional bias, using emotional Stroop with respect to suicide-related topics, is not a function of the clinical situation, and other factors, such as the scoring method, are involved. So further extensive investigations should be conducted in this area.
Plain Language Summary
The present research, as the first study in Iran, uses suicide Stroop to predict suicidal behaviors. It aims to analyze the predictability of suicide attempts based on attentional bias in a clinical population (suicidal and non-suicidal) and nonclinical one. The main objective of the present research was to assess and compare the predictive role of attentional bias in suicidal clinical, suicidal non-clinical, and non-clinical patients. Attentional bias, which includes selective allocation of attention resources to some specific aspects of the stimulus, is a cognitive process that helps more to explain and predict suicidal behaviors. In a suicidal person, a semi-conscious and semi-attention bias used to record such stimuli according to the schemas’ content might make the stimuli conquer the person’s attention. Thus, the information related to the stimuli might be processed and selectively encoded in the memory, and this is when the reliable data will be ignored. The results indicated that attentional bias analysis, based on the interference effect, does not provide a significant difference between the three groups. Thus it cannot play any significant role in predicting the groups. However, when reaction time is used as the criterion, all three groups of emotional words (suicide, positive and negative) produce a significant difference between the groups. In the present research, clinical and non-clinical populations studied in suicide Stroop with respect to interference did have a considerable difference. However, they were different in terms of reaction time. Hence, it seems that the assessment of attentional bias, using emotional Stroop with respect to suicide-related topics, is not a function of the clinical situation, and other factors, such as the scoring method, are involved. So, further extensive investigations should be conducted in this area.
