The current study was an attempt to clarify the role of personal traits in somatization disorder. Regarding the method, it is worth mentioning that the present study is a description of correlation.Methods: A total of 350 subjects were chosen through stratified random sampling and participated in the study. Hence, NEO Personality Inventory-Revised (NEOPI-R) and the somatization PHQ-15 questionnaire were implemented for gathering data. The gathered data were analyzed by regression analysis.Results: The results indicated that there is a negative relationship between somatization and the personality factors which included extraversion, agreeableness, and conscientiousness. It is safe to claim that there is a significant relationship between neuroticism and somatization, while there is no relationship between neuroticism and somatization, or between openness to experience and somatization. Conclusion: Based on the findings of the current study, it can be concluded that people with certain personality characteristics are more likely to be affected by somatization disorders.https://www.behavsci.ir/article_67978_2672292548089c65c6648b3f200fcd7f.pdfBaqiyatallah University of Medical SciencesInternational Journal of Behavioral Sciences2322-119411320171101The Role of Reading Mind from Eyes, Mental Culture and Emotional Intelligence in Social Decision-Making909567979ENManyaRezaeianDepartment of Psychology, Faculty of Psychology and Educational sciences, Kharazmi University, Tehran, IranMohammadhoseinAbdollahiDepartment of Psychology, Faculty of Psychology and Educational sciences, Kharazmi University, Tehran, IranMahnazShahgholianDepartment of Psychology, Faculty of Psychology and Educational sciences, Kharazmi University, Tehran, IranJournal Article20170411AbstractIntroduction: The present study aimed to evaluate the role of reading mind from eyes, mental culture and emotional intelligence on decision-making in social situations. To this aim, altruism and attitudes toward gender roles were considered as the indicators of mental culture.Methods: The study included 30 male and female students (n = 15 per group) in Kharazmi University, who were selected based on simple random sampling. In order to collect data, Baron and Cohen's test of reading the mind in the eyes, ultimatum tasks, the test of social value orientation , Siberia-Shearing emotional intelligence questionnaire and semi-structured interviews were used to examine people's attitudes toward gender roles. Correlation analysis and simple regression were used for data analysis.Results: Results indicated that a positive correlation was observed between reading the mind in the eyes and making decision in social situations. However, no significant correlation was reported between emotional intelligence and mental culture with making decisions in social situations. Simple regression data could predict the role of emotional intelligence and reading the mind in the eyes in social decision-making. In addition, the results of qualitative observations indicated that people's attitudes toward gender roles can be related to significant predictors of making decisions in social positions.Conclusion: Based on the results, reading the mind from eyes can play a significant role on social decision making. Therefore, it is necessary to teach important concepts such as social recognition in order to empower the individuals to improve cognitive skills.https://www.behavsci.ir/article_67979_fdc931bdc5381a812521cd9f1a314424.pdfBaqiyatallah University of Medical SciencesInternational Journal of Behavioral Sciences2322-119411320171101A Study on Factor Structure and Validation of Social Reward Questionnaire in Iranian Youth9610067980ENAtieArab Mohebi ShahrabiDepartment of Psychology, School of Education and Psychology, Shahid Beheshti University, Tehran, IranFereshte SadatMortazavi NasiriDepartment of Psychology, School of Education and Psychology, Shahid Beheshti University, Tehran, IranٍٍShahlaPakdamanAssociate Professor, Department of Psychology, School of Education and Psychology, Shahid Beheshti University, Tehran, Iran.Seyed MohammadSadatianDepartment of Psychology, School of Education and Psychology, Shahid Beheshti University, Tehran, Iran.Fateme SadatMadaniDepartment of Psychology, School of Education and Psychology, Shahid Beheshti University, Tehran, Iran.Journal Article20170808AbstractIntroduction: The present study was carried out with the aim of investigating the reliability, validity, and standardization of social reward questionnaire (SRQ) in Iranian youth. Method: This is a descriptive (correlative) study for which 419 youth of 18 to 36 years responded to SRQ. The data was studied using exploratory factor analysis, Cronbach’s Alpha and Pearson correlation coefficient. Result: The analysis of exploratory data showed that 18 items of SQR have been loaded on four factors of "acceptance", "prosocial interactions", "sexual/abusive relations" and "negative social potency." The Cronbach’s Alpha coefficients obtained for the four items stood at 0.75, 0.67, 0.61 and 0.38, respectively.Conclusion: The results of the present study confirm the stability of factor structure and validity of social reward questionnaire for measuring this concept in Iranian youth.https://www.behavsci.ir/article_67980_b5d5c7263dfa6c7f2e79d527ad60bc5c.pdfBaqiyatallah University of Medical SciencesInternational Journal of Behavioral Sciences2322-119411320171101The Role of Mindfulness and Emotional Regulation in Predicting Depression and Anxiety in University Students10110667981ENMahdiyehShafiee-TabarPhD in Psychology, Department of Psychology, Faculty of Literature and Human Science, Arak University, Arak, IranSoghraAkbari-ChermahiniPhD in Cognitive Psychology, Department of Psychology, Faculty of Literature and Human Science, Arak University, Arak, Iran0000-0002-7025-0203Journal Article20170824AbstractIntroduction: The present study aimed to investigate the role of mindfulness and emotional regulation in predicting depression and anxiety in university students.Methods: The study uses a descriptive-correlative design. For this purpose, 373 students were selected through random cluster sampling from the Arak University (185 males and 188 females). They were asked to answer to the five facet mindfulness questionnaires, the emotional regulation scales, as well as the depression, anxiety and stress questionnaire. Then, the correlation and regression analyses were employed.Results: The results showed that re-evaluation, as one of the components of the emotional regulation and mindfulness, had a significant negative correlation with depression and anxiety. In addition, the suppression of other emotional regulation components had a significant positive correlation with depression and anxiety. The results of the regression analysis indicated that mindfulness and emotional regulation could predict depression and anxiety in the university students.Conclusion: In general, it is suggested that mindfulness and emotional regulation are important psychological factors in predicting depression and anxiety in university students.https://www.behavsci.ir/article_67981_5e3e9296b02a8f37af29b6caa7d397c2.pdfBaqiyatallah University of Medical SciencesInternational Journal of Behavioral Sciences2322-119411320171101The Islamic Scale of Arrogance and Humility (ISAH): Factor structure in a non-clinical sample10711367982ENAbbas AliHaratiyanPhD Student, Department of Behavioral Sciences, Research Institute of Hawzah and University, Qom, IranSayyed AbbasSaturianPhD Student, Department of Psychology, Imam Khomeini Education & Research Institute, Qom, IranAliFathi-AshtianiProfessor, Behavioral Sciences Research Center, Baqiyatallah University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran0000-0001-6439-0560MobinSalehiPhD of Psychology, Department of Behavioral Sciences, Research Institute of Hawzah and University, Qom, IranSaeedSalariMA of Psychology, Department of Psychology, Imam Khomeini Education & Research Institute, Qom, IranJournal Article20170918Introduction: The main purpose of this study was to test the factor structure of the Islamic Scale of Arrogance and Humility.Method: The current research was conducted through a correlational method. A sample of 444 university and seminary students was selected through convenience sampling method. The participants completed the Islamic Scale of Arrogance and Humility (ISAH). To investigate the reliability and construct validity of the scale Cronbach’s alpha and factor analysis was used. Data were analyzed through the Pearson correlation and split-half methods.Results: The results showed that the rvised form of arrogance and humility scale is included six factors: religious emotion and knowledge, self sufficiency- approval seeking, truthcentricity – egocentricity, altruism - behavioral self exhibition, interpersonal optimism - interpersonal pessimism, and self-worth - self-worthless. The high coefficient alpha (0.83) showed good reliability of the scale.Conclusion: Based on these results the scale’s reliability and validity is high and its integrated factors can be used to study arrogance and humility of the individuls in the future research.https://www.behavsci.ir/article_67982_b944505fecb12eeb3d3a515109931c74.pdfBaqiyatallah University of Medical SciencesInternational Journal of Behavioral Sciences2322-119411320171101The Efficiency of Emotional Schema Therapy on level of anxiety and depression, symptom and signs of patients suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)11412067983ENYazdanNaderi RajehMA in Clinical Psychology, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Research Center, Addiction IMehranZarghami2Professor of Psychiatry, Department of Psychiatry and Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Research Center, Addiction Institute, Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences, Sari, Iran0000-0002-7027-0992MaedehBagheriCandidate in health psychology, MA in Clinical Psychology, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Research Center, Addiction Institute, Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences, Sari, IranJournal Article20170926Background: Comprehensive studies in Iran showed that Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is highly common among the survivors of the imposed war and most of them are in a vicious therapeutic cycle, frequently under long therapies which mostly have low effects.Objectives: This study aims to examine the efficiency of Emotional Schema Therapy on The Emotional Schema & Cognitive Emotion Regulation Strategies of patients suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Materials & Methods: 6 patients from the clients of psychiatric clinic of Baqiyatallah hospital in Tehran Iran (2015), were selected through available sampling, matched together and then divided into 3 groups (Emotional Schema Therapy (EST) combined with Medications, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy combined with Medications & Medications) Patients were examined 5 & 3 times by Beck anxiety Inventory (BAI), Beck depression Inventory (BDI) and The Persian versions of the Impact of Event Scale-Revise (IES-R). To analyze the data, indexes of effect size, cohen’s d, process changes, slope and interpretation of ups & downs in charts were employed. Results: EST and CBT (in post-treatment and follow-up phases) significantly decreased the anxiety and depression in the patients received EST and CBT and also could help to control the patients' signs and symptoms of PTSD. Moreover, pharmacotherapy had only effect on the control of anxiety and depressive signs and symptoms in post-treatment, but after the termination of pharmacotherapy, the patients to some degrees experienced a recurrence of the signs and symptoms.Conclusions: Emotional Schema Therapy via targeting directly mechanisms of pathological Emotional Schemas & Maladaptive Cognitive Emotion Regulation strategies can be appropriate choice for treatment of PTSD. https://www.behavsci.ir/article_67983_504a255c2773fa686f7f02afdbae63bb.pdfBaqiyatallah University of Medical SciencesInternational Journal of Behavioral Sciences2322-119411320171101Evaluation of impact of symptoms of obsession and social physical anxiety on tendency to cosmetic surgery by mediation of negative body image and neurotic defense mechanisms - The Structural Equation Modeling (SEM)12112767984ENAzraMohammadpanah ArdakanInstructor, Department of Psychology, Ardakan University, Ardakan, IranTourajHashemiProfessor, Department of Psychology, University of Tabriz, Tabriz, IranMajidMahmoudAlilouProfessor, Department of Psychology, University of Tabriz, Tabriz, IranAbbasBakhshipourProfessor, Department of Psychology, University of Tabriz, Tabriz, IranJournal Article20171012The aim of this study was to examine the mediation effect of negative body image and neurotic defense mechanisms in the relationship of symptoms of obsession and social physical anxiety with tendency to cosmetic surgery.
