The aim of the present study was the investigation of perfectionism effect on university students' experience of pride and self-esteem.Method: 80 students, selected using random multistage cluster sampling, took part in this experimental study. To select healthy and unhealthy perfectionist, Terry-Short et al perfectionism scale was used. In addition, Self-Conscious Affect test and Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale were used at pretest. For experimental manipulation, the Multi-Motive Grid was used, and finally at the posttest, the State Shame and Guilt Scale and Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale were used. The gathered data was analyzed using ANCOVA and Tukey HSD test.Results: The results showed that healthy perfectionists experienced more pride and self-esteem than unhealthy perfectionists. It was also observed that healthy perfectionists experienced more pride than unhealthy perfectionists after receiving feedback on their success.Conclusion: Regardless of the presence or absence of feedback, healthy perfectionists were observed to experience more pride and self-esteem in comparison with unhealthy perfectionists.https://www.behavsci.ir/article_67817_b1129ac1fa70df53986d85d46ed2c3c9.pdfBaqiyatallah University of Medical SciencesInternational Journal of Behavioral Sciences2322-11947220130801Mindfulness based cognitive therapy versus cognitive behavioral therapy on residual symptoms in recurrent Depression15916667818ENMahdiyehMelyaniTarbiat Modares UniversityJournal Article20150308Introduction: The present study was carried out to examine the effectiveness of Mindfulness-based Cognitive therapy versus Group Behavioral therapy on residual symptoms in Recurrent Depression.Method: It was a pretest-posttest study in which 40 patients suffering from recurrent major depression with residual symptoms were randomly assigned to either MBCT or CBT groups. Data collection was done using Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), Ruminative Responses Scale (RRS), and Dysfunctional Attitude Scale (DAS).Results: The results of MANCOVA supported the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral therapy in residual depression, dysfunctional attitudes, and the cognitive subscale in BDI-II. On the other hand, Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy was shown to be more effective in reducing rumination.Conclusion: In sum, it is proposed that a combination of CBT and MBCT could be more effective in the case of residual depression, dysfunctional attitudes, and rumination than each of them alone.https://www.behavsci.ir/article_67818_a3f11bbce242b4a017959c54fe46161b.pdfBaqiyatallah University of Medical SciencesInternational Journal of Behavioral Sciences2322-11947220130801Investigation of the relationship between family communication patterns and social creativity in students10911667819ENMarziehHassanzadehShiraz UniversityJournal Article20150308Introduction: The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between family communication patterns (conversation and conformity) and social creativity in students.Method: The sample of the study included 392 junior high school students from first to third grades (148 males and 244 females), selected using multi-stage cluster sampling.

Participants completed social problem-solving skills, spiritual intelligence, and marital satisfaction questionnaires. Data analysis was done using a multiple regression test.Results: Results showed that a positive problem-solving orientation along with, a spiritual lifestyle relying on the inner core, and rational problem solving could directly predict life satisfaction in couples. In men, marital satisfaction was predicted by positive problem-solving orientation and a rational problem solving style. In women, however, marital satisfaction was predicted by positive problem-solving orientation and spiritual lifestyle relying on the inner core. A negative problem-solving orientation could negatively predict marital satisfaction in women.Conclusion: These results revealed that a positive problem solving orientation had the amount of contribution to the prediction of marital satisfaction in couples. Also marital highest satisfaction was differently predicted by social problem solving and spiritual intelligence among men and women.https://www.behavsci.ir/article_67820_ecf6eaedcc3794031298621cd41428da.pdfBaqiyatallah University of Medical SciencesInternational Journal of Behavioral Sciences2322-11947220130801Factor structure, reliability, and validity of the Persian version of the emotional regulation during test-taking scale12313267821ENJafarHasaniKharazmi Un0000-0002-7061-9330Journal Article20150308Introduction: Emotion regulation during test sessions has an essential role in helping students to demonstrate their actual skills and knowledge. The aim of the present study was to develop a Persian version of the Emotional Regulation During Test-Taking Scale and assess its factor structure, reliability, and validity.Method: The Persian version of this scale was administrated to 350 participants. After item analysis, its reliability was assessed via internal consistency, item-total correlations and test-retest methods. In addition to evaluating the factor structure of the scale through exploratory factor analysis, its validity was investigated using correlations between subscales and the criterion validity.Results: After the removal of one item from the 38 items in the original scale, an acceptable internal consistency coefficient for the total scale (0.71) and its subscales (Cronbach’s alpha ranging from 0.55 to 0.80) was obtained. Item scores and the total scores of the corresponding subscales were significantly correlated (r ranging from 0.35 to 0.75). The test-retest correlation value ranged from 0.66 to 0.79, suggesting a stable scale. Principal Component Analysis with Varimax rotation supported the original eight factor model. The internal relations among the subscales were consistent with the theoretical model. Finally, the subscales’ correlational pattern with test anxiety scores indicated a good criterion validity of the scale.Conclusion: The Persian version of the emotional regulation during test-taking scale has a suitable factor structure, reliability, and validity in the Iranian society and is an appropriate tool for use in the educational, research, and clinical settings.https://www.behavsci.ir/article_67821_b2fd0961ea86cd55fa2f860d03576a70.pdfBaqiyatallah University of Medical SciencesInternational Journal of Behavioral Sciences2322-11947220130801The comparison of schemas, parenting style, and life traps in married and divorced women13314267822ENArefehMonajemPayame- Noor UniversityJournal Article20150308Introduction: The present study was an attempt to assess the early maladaptive schemas, parenting style, and life traps in married and divorced women in Tehran.Method: Towards this end, 148 divorced applicants and 202 married women (350 in total) took part in the present study.

In addition, the literature emphasizes on the role of anger rumination in depression. The aim of the current study was to explore the mediating role of anger rumination in the relationship between anger and major depressive disorder in patients with external locus of control.Method: In a descriptive study, 117 patients with major depressive disorder (82 males, 35 females) were selected through purposive sampling. Participants completed Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Multidimensional Anger Inventory (MAI), Anger Rumination Scale (ARS), and Rotter΄s Locus of Control Scale (I-E). The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling.Results: The Results showed that there is positive and significant relationship between anger, depression and anger rumination. The Structural Equation Model revealed that anger rumination played a mediatory role in the relationship between anger and major depressive disorder in patients with external locus of control.Conclusions: Findings of the present study suggest that the relationship between anger and depression can be explained more accurately and comprehensively through the mediatory role of anger rumination. The obtained results also indicate the complicated nature of depression, and emphasize the understanding and conceptualization of various influencing variables in depression.https://www.behavsci.ir/article_67826_c0f7ac75c989a955c88473003b4bb4fc.pdfBaqiyatallah University of Medical SciencesInternational Journal of Behavioral Sciences2322-11947220130801Efficacy of emotionally-focused couples therapy (EFCT) to improve family functioning18118867827ENNasirudinJavidiJournal Article20150308Introduction: The aim of this study was to examine the efficacy of teaching emotion management strategies in improving family functioning of couples.Method: It was a quasi-experimental study with 60 participants (30 couples) who were selected using convenience sampling and were randomly assigned to control and treatment groups.

The present study was an attempt to investigate reactive negative emotions provoked against aversive situations and the delayed emotional recovery in patients with BPD.Method: It was a quasi-experimental study with pretest-posttest design. The population of the study included all the patients with BPD visiting psychiatric offices and counseling centers in Sanandaj in 2011. Participant selection was done using purposive sampling. 30 patients with BPD accepted to take part in the study. They were assessed using MCMI-III and emotional state questionnaire to prepare a baseline for later evaluations of their emotional state. Then, they underwent the experimental factor (Emotional Reaction to Failure, which prepares an aversive situation). Their emotional state was assessed twice during the experiment and once after with a 90 minutes delay in order to determine their delayed emotional recovery. The results were compared with their fallow, non-patient group.Results: The results showed significant differences between the two groups. Depressive feelings remained high in the BPD group during the delayed emotional recovery.Conclusion: The BPD group had a higher negative emotionality against the aversive situation and depressive feelings showed a longer delay in recovery. These results support the close relationship between BPD and mood disorders.https://www.behavsci.ir/article_67828_f0d6ff6478f746199e1dd63c26873e31.pdf
